Adopt a Boxer in Illinois

Boxers are playful, energetic, and patient dogs known for their love of children. They end up in rescue when families can't keep up with their high energy levels. A Boxer from rescue will reward you with years of goofy, affectionate companionship.

Illinois has a large rescue dog community, with Chicago and the surrounding suburbs home to dozens of active rescues and shelters. Downstate organizations in Springfield, Peoria, and Champaign also serve large populations. A rescued Illinois dog typically comes from an active, well-connected organization.
