Fosters Needed


The label   Needs Foster Home  means that we have run out of the right foster homes for the dogs we have, and have had to resort to boarding a dog at a kennel.  All dogs that are designated as "Needs foster Home", are also looking for a permanent home. 


The Adoption Process


Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. And not all applicant's are suitable for matching with our "available dogs". 

On average, it takes between a week and 1 month for an approved applicant to adopt a Rescue Boxer, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  For example; If you are looking for a young female, who is good with other dogs, cats, and small kids, please know that yours may be a harder application to fill.  Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.

LOW COST SPAY & NEUTER
The website below provides low-cost spay/neuter certificates.  Female dog: $90. Male dog: $64   We've had quite a few homes use this website to get a certificate when they've adopted a puppy that needs to be spayed/neutered as a condition of our contract.  This organization is located in CT, but it is a national program and anyone can order a certificate.  You type in your zip code and they email you back (right away) with a list of veterinary clinics/hospitals near you that will honor the certificate.  You can then buy the certificate on-line.

Here's the link...

Great Gifts!

The NYC Pet Project is a singular collection of portraits and letters that capture a special love; a love that is blind to all racial, social, or economic factors, the unconditional love shared between humans and their pets.

The book was produced over a one year period during which 9/11 occurred and the world focused its attention upon New York City. It consists of 122 portraits of people that live and work in New York City and their pets. Each owner has written a heartfelt letter expressing their love for their animal. There are ten additional portraits with celebrities taken at the Broadway Barks charity fundraiser. Each celebrity is paired with an adoptable animal and is followed by information about one of the charities that are beneficiaries of the NYC Pet Project Charitable Trust.

NYC Pet Project - The Ultimate Pet Lover's Gift
Available for just $20 ea (plus $5 S&H).  

"I just received my NYC Pet Project book yesterday and was up half the night reading it--I just couldn't put it down! I LOVE IT! The photographs are beautiful and the letters that people wrote about their dogs are so heart warming. It's so nice to read about people who love their dogs as much as I do (I didn't think it was possible). I just ordered 4 more as X-mas presents for my sister, neighbor, vet and dog walker. I'm going to keep mine on the coffee table for all to enjoy. Keep up the great work!"   Karen

Spotlight on: Mikey   06/09/08 
06/09/08 - The vets and volunteers that have cared for Mikey can not believe how well Mikey has healed from his horrendous injuries!

Through it all, Mikey could not have been the better boxer!!!

Take a look at it now...  Read more

Taking an easy dog from someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, and Hutch, Stella, Lucy, Mya and Hooch, Eve, Fred, Nick and now Mikey. The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs in need of medical care.

Thatıs where YOU come in. We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your donations to cover our expenses.

DOGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Click on the Boxer's name for more info on each Available Dog. Read each bio very carefully, as not every rescue Boxer is suited for every home. If you feel that a certain Boxer is a good match for you and your lifestyle, then click here for our ONLINE APPLICATION.

And yes, please realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been adopted... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
