An online Adoption Application must be completed by every prospective family.  There is a $27.00 Home Visit  Fee which is non-refundable. (Note: This fee is non- refundable and does not apply to the adoption fee.)  This policy is in effect for reasons we will be glad to discuss at the time of your interview.   Please pay via our Paypal link: HBR PayPal

Please be patient with our nosy questions. We understand the application is lengthy however, each question has a reason behind it.  A complete application helps us discern the best match for your family! It also demonstrates a level of commitment on your part.  Our boxers are not "just dogs" and our adoptive families are not "just people"!

An incomplete application form will not be processed. This causes delays and disappointment, two words we would rather not have associated with your HBR experience.  Let's work together!

Continue to check the e-mail address from which your application was submitted.  When your application is processed, we will attempt to make contact by e-mail, text, and phone.  Keep in mind we are an all-volunteer group.  Although we have families and jobs that take precedence in our lives, we work hard to save the breed we love!  We are committed to doing our best to facilitate the adoption process and make it as pleasant as possible!

When the application is received a volunteer will contact you to schedule a Home Visit The Home Visit Volunteer will be your primary point of contact within HBR until your adoption is completed.  Upon approval, you will receive a list of our dogs and Foster's contact information. You are responsible for making contact and scheduling a time to Meet and Greet your new  fur-ever friend. Please include your pets and family at the time of the Home Visit and Meet and Greet.

Our volunteers will be more than happy to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. If you cannot make contact with your Home Visit Volunteer, please email Adopt@HoustonBoxerRescue.org
