You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Vibe Check! Big Dog Energy! ATHENA is the newest addition to the Houston Boxer Rescue gang. This girl is gorgeous with beautiful dark brindle coloring! Athena says she's too pretty for school. She would rather hang out with her people and get pampered all day long. This big girl is absolute chill and even a bit lazy. She is quite friendly, rarely barks, does not jump on people, but WILL give you sweet slober kisses and try to share your food. She loves to follow you around but is also politely behaved in a kennel when it's time. Give her an oversized plump dog bed and she’ll love you for it! She instantly fit in with the fosters two dogs both medium and small size that have similar energy. She LOVES her toys...and socks so pick them up! What can she say? She likely was a street pup for a while because she is underweight at the moment but she should get around 80lbs with some proper meals in her belly. She is learning house manners and is doing very well at it.

She walks well on a leash and does not seem overly concerned with her surroundings. She showed no signs of lunging or aggression when she saw a cat from afar or other dogs at the vet clinic. She really loves people and wants all their attention. She was a staff favorite at the shelter she came from. She has constant tail wags when she is with humans. Athena does not mind the company of other animals but also could possibly do well as an only pet or other animals of similar chill energy.

Athena is HW positive but has already started on treatment. She is VERY treat and food motivated and loves snack and meal time. She has a lot of love to give someone who has a laid back lifestyle, likes casual walks, and is looking for an oversized couch potato.

The boxer is a medium to large sized dog breed known for its muscular build, distinctive square head, and energetic personality. Boxers are loyal, affectionate, and good natured companions, making them an ideal family pet. They are intelligent, playful, and love to be around people, making them excellent with children. Boxers require consistent training, plenty of exercise, and socialization to thrive. With their strong work ethic and protective instincts, boxers excel in various roles, including as service dogs, therapy dogs, and in dog sports.

Houston Boxer Rescue (HBR) was born out of a deep love for the boxer breed and a desire to help...
