I think the only way you can stop thinking about him is to go and visit him and see how perfect unsuitable he is for you

One word of caution only .....is your boxer baby trained? ie sits/walks happily on a lead/ recall is good etc.?
If so then I think the rescue has your name written all over him
If not, then I would think twice because rescues will need a lot of settling and/or training ....and you really don't want 2 boxers neither of which will do as they are told!! ......the naughty behaviour is infectious, and they feed off each other.
Two dogs together is just wonderful ....they play and have so much fun!!

lolly is doing very well now
we have sorted the chasing cars ...almost completely
she sits, she doesn't beg for food, in fact I hate even being looked at when eating so have worked very hard on that
she loves everyone but doesn't jump up, another pet hate although she jumps up for a standing cuddle with me on command
she is a leetle strong on the lead but I have obedience classes booked for the 16th to help with that
and we live in the middle of nowhere and rarely need her to be on a lead
she runs alongside me on the bike nicely and her
'becoming a teen' fear aggression barking is getting very much under control now

From the sounds of your garden, you don't need another dog, you need a sheep

As Albert Einstein said 'Common sense is what tells us the world is flat' sense is very overrated imo.
