Boxer Rescue and Adoption is a charitable, non-profit organization, staffed and maintained by volunteers and supported by public donations. We are an organization specializing in the rescue and care of Boxer dogs, but dedicated to the humane treatment of all animals (and humans). We cover the Middle-Atlantic States of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. We cooperate with other rescues to help Boxers in need. The purpose of our day-to-day activity is to: Identify and provide sanctuary and rehabilitation for homeless, abandoned, abused, inadequately cared for, or unwanted Boxer dogs. Relocate and arrange adoption by qualified, dedicated and caring owners for homeless, abandoned, abused, inadequately cared for, or unwanted Boxer dogs. Educate the public in the proper selection, care, utilization, and breeding of Boxer dogs, and in the humane and responsible treatment of all animals. Inform people about puppy mills and backyard breeding situations so they may become better informed if they choose to buy a Boxer puppy. All of our public support donations are tax deductible by the donors under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All donations go directly to our rescue and adoption operations. We are participants in the annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #54166) and other work place charities.
Our adoption process includes a visit to your home, so we normally limit applicants to residents of Virginia, Maryland, parts of West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. - within a 2 hour drive of Reston. If you live a bit farther away and still wish to adopt from us, we may be able to arrange for your local shelter or a large-breed rescue near you to do a reciprocal home visit.
