Show 48 more pets Back to top [All adoptable pets](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/) [How this list works](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/how-it-works/) Listings from 348 North Carolina shelters and rescues, checked October 17, 2026. Each pet links to its shelter, and the full list is on [shelters and rescues](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/shelters/). Pets are adopted every day, so a pet shown here may already have found a home. ## What the list shows today The 196 boxers on the list today are spread across 45 counties; the most are listed in Wake County (28), Mecklenburg County (18) and Iredell County (16). About 55% are listed by rescues and 45% by public and nonprofit shelters, and about 57% live in foster homes rather than at a shelter, so a visit may need an appointment. Of the 135 with an age listed, the typical (median) age is about 3 years. 3 are already marked adoption pending. From the shelter and rescue listings NC Pet Project read on October 17, 2026. Each shelter sets its own labels, ages and foster status. ## About boxers Boxers are loyal, protective companions that are playful and gentle with children. They need daily exercise such as a long walk, a jog or energetic games, and their short muzzle makes them sensitive to heat. Breed labels come from each shelter. They are a staff member's best guess from a pet's looks, not a DNA test, so a pet listed here may be a different mix, and a pet of this breed may be listed under another label. Before you adopt, read our guides to [adopting versus buying a dog in NC](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt-vs-buy-dog-nc/) and [when to spay or neuter a dog by size](https://ncpetproject.org/spay-neuter-timing/).
