Welcome to boxar rescue Our Mission is the rescue of the purebred Boxer dog. We are a 501C3 not-for-profit organization created solely for the rescue and protection of the Boxer breed. Specifically, we take in abandoned, owner-surrender and shelter dogs who would otherwise be destroyed. We take them into our homes or carefully screened foster homes, provide the necessary health care, evaluate temperaments and then place them with loving, qualified families. Our donation fee is dependent upon the age of the Boxer and is applied towards general physical examination, spay/neuter surgery, all shots, worming, heartworm testing (and treatment, when necessary) as well as the daily care and upkeep of each Boxer before adoption. This fee is also applied toward the Boxers who require additional medical care due to abuse and/or neglect. Another goal we have is to educate against pet stores, puppy mills and the over-breeding of Boxers. Many times the Boxer comes from just such a background. They may also come from a home that did not take the time to properly train and, in turn, caused the dog to develop bad habits. We seriously encourage our adopters to consider obedience training. We hope that when you choose your next pet, you will consider rescue - and help change the world - one Boxer at a time!

The fee can range anywhere from $300 (young puppies) to $175 (older Boxers) for Boxers. Mixes are $150. We do not negotiate adoption fees. This is not a "sale" but a fee that enables us to continue to help more Boxers in the future. We are all unpaid volunteers and, as such, we only keep our heads above water by accepting the adoption fee. We also accept donations and we do hold fundraisers from time to time. You may also be interested in sponsoring one of our needy Boxers. If so, contact our director for details.
