ABOUT US
Boxer Angels Rescue was formed in the summer of 2002
by volunteers devoted to Boxers in need. We rescue and place Boxers in
the Northeast. We do not have a
boarding facility, but utilize a
foster home system, where Boxers who are brought into our rescue are
placed while awaiting their "forever" homes. The majority of our
volunteers are located in NY, NJ, and
New England, but we may also work with families in surrounding areas.
In July of 2003, we received our 501c3 non-profit status which
means that all donations to BAR are tax deductible. We are a member of
the NYC's Mayor's Alliance
for Animals.
With years of combined experience in Boxer rescue work, BAR
volunteers respond to the continuing need to help this special breed.
One of the most popular breeds today,
Boxers carry a heavy load: poor
breeding and over-breeding; often mistaken for "good guard dog
stock"; often used for dog fight training. Boxer lovers know that
these dogs
are like children and only live to be cherished.
BAR Boxers usually come into rescue from shelter referrals or owner
surrenders. We value our relationships with shelters and all-breed
rescues, who work collaboratively with
BAR to ensure that homeless
Boxers find the right adoptive families.
In February of 2010 Homeward Bound Boxer Rescue merged with BAR and added MD & DE to our operating areas.
