Houston Boxer Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all volunteer, total foster care (no kennel facility) organization. HBR is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, health, and re-homing of abused, abandoned, neglected, or surrendered boxers within the Houston Metroplex and beyond. No officer or volunteer of Houston Boxer Rescue is compensated for their services. Rescue is a commitment of the heart, a labor of love. We are serious about changing the lives of boxers that come through our program. Our goal for the dogs we rescue is a loving and secure forever future in a home that has been vetted by an experienced volunteer. We strive to match the needs and character of a particular animal to the home environment of an approved adopter. Houston Boxer Rescue depends totally upon donations from like-minded, compassionate people. If you are an individual, a business, or a corporation that believes in our mission, please consider a tax deductible contribution today. Remember to inquire as to whether your work place supports matching donations. Experience the joy that results from saving the life of a boxer!
An online Adoption Application must be completed by every prospective family. Why, you ask? Because we consider you pivotal to the successful forever future of a VIB (Very Important Boxer)! Please be patient with our nosy questions. We understand the application is lengthy however, each question has a reason behind it. A complete application helps us discern the best match for your family! It also demonstrates a level of commitment on your part. Our boxers are not "just dogs" and our adoptive families are not "just people"! An incomplete application form cannot be processed. This causes delay and disappointment, two words we would rather not have associated with your HBR experience. Let's work together! Continue to check the e-mail address from which your application was submitted. When your application is processed, we will attempt to make contact both by e-mail and phone. Keep in mind we are an all volunteer group. Although we have families and jobs that take precedence in our lives, we work hard to save the breed we love! We are committed to doing our best to facilitate the adoption process and make it as pleasant as possible! When the application is received a volunteer will contact you to schedule a Home Visit. There is a $25.00 Home Visit Fee which is nonrefundable. This policy is in effect for reasons we will be glad to discuss at the time of your interview. The Home Visit Volunteer will be your primary point of contact within HBR until your adoption is completed. Upon approval you will receive a list of our dogs and the Foster's contact information. You are responsible for making contact and scheduling a time to Meet and Greet your new fur-ever friend. Please include your pets and family at the time of the Home Visit and Meet and Greet. Our volunteers will be more than happy to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. If you cannot make contact with your Home Visit Volunteer, please email [email protected].

Because Labs are more often euthanized at shelters! Sure, they're one of America's favorite breeds, but when people adopt a puppy and the dog starts to display that “Lab energy," chews up someone's shoes, or takes up too much time, they sometimes get dumped at a shelter. Some perfectly great dogs end up at shelters because their family moved, had a baby, got divorced, or some
