A 501(C)3 Non-Profit Organization Serving New England
The Boxer RescueWe are a group of volunteers, dedicated to finding loving forever homes for unwanted, abandoned, and surrendered Boxers. Our rescue works within Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. We strive to not only save boxers, but to educate the public about responsible dog ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and how to best meet the needs of this amazing breed.
Getting Involved
Save a Boxer
Adopting a Boxer
The Boxer Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving the New England area. Our group is made up of dedicated volunteers. These are the people who care for the homeless, abused and unwanted boxers because they have a love and passion for the breed and believe they all deserve a second chance.
Make a Donation
The Boxer Rescue could not exist without donations from people like you. Many of our dogs coming into rescue require expensive medical treatment before they can be placed in their “forever” homes. The adoption donation is often not sufficient to cover all of the expenses. Since The Boxer Rescue is solely operated on a volunteer basis, funding is always tight; therefore, your donation small or large will go a long way in helping our dogs in need.

Our Adoptees
URGENT FOSTER NEEDED 🐾 Meet Princess 🐾 2 YRS 🐾 F
This is 2 year old, Princess. Her mom has cancer and can no longer care for her. She reached out to us for help in finding Princess a forever home.
We met this sweet girl and she is all things boxer. Her mom told us that Princess is a Velcro dog, loves to hang out on the couch with her human, and can be a little bit shy. Our volunteer met her and she was very friendly and very full of boxer energy.
Before Princess can be adopted, we need to secure a foster or foster to adopt home. She needs to be spayed and we'd like to get to know her a bit more to ensure a successful forever placement.
Princess doesn't know how to walk on leash (yet). She could use some work on her manners (she's a boxer). She loves people, is crate trained (but spends way too much time in her crate), and has been around children. Princess is the perfect example of a boxer whose physical and mental needs are not being met. She's the perfect example of a boxer who is going to SHINE once we find her a home who appreciates what this awesome breed brings to the table.
If you'd like to be a stepping stone in her journey, and can foster her so we can get to know her better, PLEASE APPLY OR EMAIL US. Time is of the essence.
OTHER DOGS? Not at this time but we will dog test her once she's settled in foster
CATS? No
KIDS? She has been around children but she's strong and not very aware of her body in space. So, a small child will likely be bowled over.
FENCE? Princess has never been leash walked. A fence is most ideal while she's learning what a leash and harness is.
Please help us, help her!!!

URGENT FOSTER NEEDED🐾 Meet Hennessey 🐾 2 YRS 🐾 F
This is 2 year old, Hennessey (Henney for short). Her mom has cancer and can no longer care for her. She reached out to us for help in finding Henney a forever home.
We met this beautiful girl and she is all things boxer. Lots of energy, lots of kisses, lots of energy (worth saying twice).
Before Henney can be adopted, we need to secure a foster or foster to adopt home. She needs to be spayed and we'd like to get to know her a bit more to ensure a successful forever placement.

What We Do
Ways to Help
Adopt A Boxer
We often have many beautiful boxers in need of forever homes. From puppies to seniors, they all deserve their happily ever after. Keep an open mind and an open heart, and you just might find your best friend.
Foster a Boxer
Foster homes are a critical piece of our rescue puzzle and enable us to learn as much as we can about the boxers that come to us before being placed in forever homes.
Volunteer
We are always in need of volunteers. Do as little or as much as you want to help us, help them.
Donate
In order to continue to save the lives of beautiful boxers, we need funding help from the public. Please consider making a tax deductible donation in honor of your love for the breed.
The Boxer Rescue
Our Mission
Our goal is to promote responsible dog ownership, provide support to boxer owners, inform the public about the needs, qualities and characteristics of the boxer breed, and to be a positive presence in the boxer rescue community.

Boxer Adoption Notes
Why Two Female Dogs May Not Be the Best Combination
If you find yourself considering this sort of same-sex adoption scenario, think again. As cute and playful same-sex sibling puppies are, chances are that once they mature, they will engage in some serious discussions that could turn bloody.
Is the boxer the right breed for you?
Boxers are forever puppies. They seem to never to “grow up”. So be prepared to deal with puppy behavior until they are around 3-4 years old. They require a lot of exercise and stimulation. Multiple long walks a day will help tire them out, and we all know that a “tired boxer is a good boxer”.
