The Boxer Rescue

You’ve Decided To Surrender Your Boxer

Although surrendering your boxer may be extremely difficult, it may just be the best thing for you and your dog. You are providing your dog with a chance at a new life and a loving home.  The Boxer Rescue will work hard to ensure that your dog ends up in a loving “forever” home.  Hopefully, knowing this will make the process a little easier for you.

If you have decided that surrendering your dog is the best thing for him/her, we thank you for taking the first step in your dog’s future welfare.  The Boxer Rescue is here to make this difficult time as easy as possible.   When you place your dog into our program, you can be sure that your dog will be provided with the best care given by one of our selected, pre-screened, foster families or approved adoptive homes

When filling out the owner surrender application, please fill out the form in its entirety and be as detailed and honest as possible.  Your honest answers will allow us to have the most accurate information concerning your dog’s temperament, personality, and level of obedience.  This information will be essential to us and your dog in many ways.  First, it allows the new family to focus on any strengths or weaknesses your dog may have.   This helps make the adjustment time easier for your dog.  Also knowing your dog’s weaknesses will allow the new home a chance to work with your dog on those issues.  It also allows the new home to take any necessary safety measures with their family.  By providing us with accurate information, we can provide a permanent and happy home for your dog.  If you are looking to surrender your boxer, you must fill out a surrender application online click here to fill out an owner surrender form.   

Once we receive your surrender request, we will contact you within 24-48 hours to discuss your situation.  We will then send an experienced volunteer to your home to meet with you and your dog.  Our volunteer will evaluate your dog for temperament and behavior and will bring their own friendly dog to test your dog’s ability to get along with another dog (unless you inform us that your dog is not friendly with other dogs). They will also take a few photos of your dog, which will accompany their biography on our website and social media pages, if we are able to accept your boxer into our rescue program.

Once we have accepted your dog into our program, we will begin searching for a home.   Please be patient as this could take some time depending on the needs of the dog and the homes that we have available.   We will remain in contact with you during this time.
