As well as the physical and financial considerations, they live in a rural area and lacked access to specialized veterinary care. Harley was surrendered to us because he became paralyzed three weeks previously and his family was unable to care for him any longer. Harley was a sweet 9 month old boxer boy who was surrendered to Boxer Rescue Canada Monday, April 2, 2012. We believe in what we do and encourage you to contact us-we're always looking for another loving home for a rescued boxer. Our organization is made up of dozens of people who have taken in dozens more boxers over the decades-we'll encourage you to talk and build relationships with some of these people so you and your new rescue can Having their heart stolen by a completely different dog-we encourage you to put aside any aesthetic expectations and just come looking for a dog you can fall in love with (and one that will fall for you!). Some of our best adoptions have come from people who were dead-set on a certain age, color and sex of boxer and end up We're looking for people who want to make the next years of a rescue's life their finest ones. We try to place dogs as quickly as we can, but since many of them come from broken or abusive households, we deliberately take our time to research the person or families who wish to take one into their care.Īt this point in the rescue's life we want to do our best to make their next stop their final home, so we appreciate your patience in this process and your commitment to providing the rescue a permanent home. We will consider female to female adoption of dogs with extreme age and size difference.Rescue boxers are typically older dogs who have been surrendered or abandoned-it's a rare day when we have a puppy or even a younger dog to adopt. That means Boxer, Bulldog, Pit bulls, etc. We do not do female to female placements of bully breeds. Any home where no one is home for more than six hours a day 2-3 times a week will be rejected for puppies.Ħ. If you are looking to adopt a puppy, please be realistic.
However, if you do not, you will need to take the dog out for a potty break at least 4 times a day, more if they do not feel well. You are not required to have a fenced yard. If you expect that the new dog will not react when a child hits them, throw toys at them, takes away their toy or food, etc, then please do not adopt from us.Ĥ. We accept application from families with small children, however, you are required to have 100% supervision between the dog and your child(ren) at all times. Dogs are family members and do not sleep in a garage or outside.ģ. This is because Boxers must be protected from heat and cold.Ģ. It is OK to have an outside dog run with inside access. Here are most, but we reserve the right to refuse adoption to any home which we deem unsuitable.ġ. We have some guidelines of what is acceptable and what isn’t. A mature adult Boxer’s energy demands may be a better fit for you. Everyone wants a young dog … if you are a mature human being, please consider more mature dogs that have been waiting for their forever homes for a while.
Even for a healthy dog, the first year can cost up to about $2,000 if you include the basic supply listed below, food, treats, toys and vet bill.Īre you older and wanting to adopt a young energetic dog? Please think about more mature dogs that need homes. Boxers are a highly affectionate breed and very energetic.ĭo you have the financial means to care for the dog? Annual food and medical cost can add up. So if your life is too busy and don’t have a lot of time for your new dog, we ask that you reconsider adoption.Īre you familiar with the breed? If not, you may want to look into fostering with us before making a decision to adopt. They need love, attention and an opportunity to learn too. Do you have small children or a baby? Boxers are similar. No dog is ever perfect, just like people are not perfect. If you think that you may not be able to make a lifetime commitment to one of our Boxers, then we kindly request you reconsider adoption. Are you going to be able to make a commitment to a dog and make it work even when/if your life changes? People don’t dump their children because of these life changes, but many dogs end up in a shelter or rescues when their owners do not make the same commitment to their dog. You may have a baby, get married or get a divorce. You may not have the same job where you are able to come home at lunch, you may not have the same roommate, you may graduate from school or move to a smaller house.
Are you able to make a long term commitment for the duration of your dog’s life? Please consider that your lifestyle may change. Before you adopt a Boxer or any other animals, we would like to request that you consider few things:īoxers may live for 15 years.
