Boxer Rescue Dog Projects

The boxer breed is a highly intelligent canine. They generally are happy, loyal and fun-loving. People often acquire this breed specifically for these appealing aspects of their temperament, but they often overlook how boisterous these big dogs can be and find themselves ill-equipped to provide for them. Boxers require a lot of time, attention and training, and some folks end up giving away their dog, sometimes to rescue operations

  1. Rescue Organizations

    • Without rescue projects, many dogs would endure empty lives and, eventually, euthanization.

      Boxer rescue projects can be found all over the world, and nearly every state has numerous organizations dedicated to providing quality lives and homes for these surrendered and sometimes abandoned animals. Rescue projects are at an advantage for locating long-term, successful placement -- especially when boxers are given up at an age when many of their behaviors are evident -- because they can be placed in the homes of people who understand in advance what sort of challenges they will face while raising the dog.

    Dog's Needs

    • The overpopulation of dogs, including boxers, has created an environment in which hundreds of thousands of dogs live without proper attention every day. The primary goal of a boxer rescue is to tend to the dog's physical needs. Often, a dog needing rescue has been neglected, near starvation, generally unwell or injured. Once the physical needs of the boxer have been met by the rescue organization, the dog is placed under temporary foster care -- usually with a volunteer -- who cares for the dog until a permanent home is found for the animal through adoption.

    Money

    • Many rescue projects are in constant need of financial assistance.

      Many small rescue projects are funded solely by government grants and outside sources, such as fundraising and community backing. The people who run these establishments are fervent about aiding abandoned and unwanted dogs -- frequently do so on a shoestring budget. They will gladly accept money, dog food or an offer to volunteer. Without such support, many of these rescue facilities would not be able to operate.

    Pet Preparation

    • Once adopted, a boxer is sure to feel like a member of your family.

      If are interested in rescuing a boxer, a local search is the best place to start. Many rescue projects do not endorse the shipment of dogs and often require you meet your prospective pet to ensure compatibility. Adopting, though not difficult, requires an in-depth inquiry into your competency -- financially and otherwise. Rescue projects do not want people adopting dogs only to return them a short while later. They require potential adopters be educated in all aspects of dog care, specifically for a boxer.
