Adoption/Foster Application

       Applications not meeting our MINIMUM requirements

 Requirements to adopt from BlueGrass Boxer Rescue, Inc.


Applicant(s) must be 21 years of age      
 
Applicant(s) must be able to assist with transport of your new dog

Applicant(s) must agree to a homevisit and follow-up homevisit

All personal pets must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccines and on heartworm prevention.

Adopted boxers are required to be kept on heartworm prevention and current on vaccines for the duration of their lives.

All CURRENT pets MUST be indoor dogs,  boxers will only be adopted to indoor homes.

Current pets are never chained, tethered, or left outside without the supervision of a responsible adult. 

How the Adoption Process Works:


1.  Fill out the on-line application Inquiry Form. 

2.  Next, you will be contacted by a BlueGrass Boxer Rescue representative to discuss your inquiry form.  A volunteer will contact you as quickly as possible. Please understand our volunteers have full time jobs, families, and other commitments in addition to their rescue responsibilities. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated.  Please be prepared to answer a few more questions for us to complete the original application and to insure the boxer you are interested in will fit perfectly into your home and lifestyle.  We may discuss an alternate boxer that will fit better into your home.

3.  After the initial contact and you are approved to move forward in the application process, you will be contacted by the home visit coordinator to set up the time and date of your home visit.  All members must be present for the home visit.  If the boxer you are interested in is within traveling distance from the foster home, the said boxer will accompany volunteer to your home.  If home visit is approved by the volunteer you now move to the next step.

4.  Adoption Day!!  The happiest day of all.  Please have the following items ready for your new family member:  food and water dish, dog bed or crate if needed, leash, snap style collar, ID tag, dog food, and a few toys. 

5.  **Out of area adoptions will be considered on a case by case basis and with collaboration of the boxer rescue local to the applicants. **
