After all, you will be spending the next 10-12 years with your boxer dog so a few hours shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Step 6: Sign an Adoption Contract – This is where all the legal paperwork takes place to give you ownership of the boxer dog. You will also have to agree to treat the boxer dog nicely and return him back if you don’t want him.

Step 7: Adoption Fee – There’s an adoption fee of $375 for most adult boxer dogs. Higher fees may apply for boxer puppies.

Step 8: Preparing Your Home - Prepare your home for your new rescued boxer puppy by setting aside a place for your boxer puppy to sleep, buy few different kinds of dog snacks and food to see what your puppy prefers more, get toys, and make it as pleasant for your puppy as possible.
