ABOUT US
Mid‐Iowa Boxer Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was formed in 2007. We work closely with many small shelters throughout Iowa to save Boxers. Many dogs come to us untrained and in need of medical care. The dogs are taught proper manners and nurtured back to good health in foster homes.
All pets available for adoption are up to date on shots and spayed or neutered. The only exception would be very young puppies and/or medically compromised adults.
We will always take an adopted dog back into our program if your situation changes, but we ask you to think carefully before adding a new member to your family and require that all adults in the home agree to the process.
Help us find a forever home for all of our Boxers in 2023!
Always remember to adopt! Don't shop!
Please remember that these are rescue animals. Most of the time we do not have much history on them and only know what we have learned about them while in their foster home. As with any other dog they will need training & routine veterinary care throughout their life. Some of these dogs have had some training and some have not. Every profile is accurate to the best of our knowledge and we would never intentionally mislead anyone about any dog's health, personality, or breed. All dogs will need continued training, adequate time for adjustment, and slow introductions to help them succeed in their new forever homes.

Are you aware that a Boxer...
Can chew? Can dig? Can bark? Can be provoked to be aggressive? Can jump over fences and gates? Can chase cats, birds or small dogs? Can play too roughly with small children? Can be possessive of food, toys and treats? Needs socialization and training? Can live to be 8–12 years of age? Requires annual vaccinations and vet check‐ups? Can challenge other dogs in the household for dominance? Can become overly protective of their home and family members? Will need daily love and attention for the rest of their life? Requires flea and tick preventative medication? Can develop health problems as they grow older? Requires a lot of patience, time, effort, money and love? Is very loyal and loving and can be heartbroken if they lose their home and family?
If any of these things are a concern for you, please do your research before adopting a Boxer.

Mac
ADOPTED!
Mac is a 7 month old boy. He got neutered last week and is now ready for his forever home. He is not reliably house trained but is working on it. Hates the crate! He has tended to be a bit alpha with smaller dogs so one his size or bigger would be best. No cats please! He is a very active boy and must have a fence and needs an owner who can be there to supervise and train him. Very sweet boy but he is a puppy and needs training to learn how to be a great dog! 🐾
ADOPTED!
Rudy
ADOPTED!
Rudy is available for adoption. He is a 2 year old boy who gets along with cats. We are not sure at this time if he is good with other dogs. Testing is on-going. He is a goofball and loads of fun. Very sweet with people. My friends at Mid Iowa Boxer rescue are helping me find a new human to love and snuggle with. It could be you, if you fill out an application. Can't wait to meet you! 🐾

Finn
ADOPTED!
Finn is about 6. He is a large boy but well behaved. He is a bit insecure and will do better with a female boxer to snuggle with. He really doesn't like males much but might ignore one who isn't intrusive. House trained and reliable he would be a great addition to your home. My friends at Mid Iowa Boxer rescue are helping me find a new human to love and snuggle with. It could be you, if you fill out an application. Can't wait to meet you! 🐾
