Boxer Rescue Ontario is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to placing homeless boxers in loving homes and promoting responsible pet ownership in and around Ontario. We are an affiliate of Boxer Rescue Canada and work with other rescue groups, shelters, veterinarians, breeders, and the public to achieve these goals.

The dogs we rescue are usually homeless through no fault of their own. Generally, they are either surrendered to us directly by their previous owners or come to us through shelters which are happy for any help they can get. They are given up or dumped for various reasons though with boxers it is rarely temperament related.

Once in our program the boxers are placed in foster homes where they are assessed and provided with any needed medical attention. In addition to assessing the dogs we spend a lot of time and effort to assess potential homes. Each dog is an individual and once we have a good idea of its special needs we will match it with its new permanent family. To promote responsible pet ownership all rescue dogs are placed either spayed/neutered, or under signed contract to have it done.

Like other rescue groups our work relies on the generosity of our volunteers and the public. We ask adopters for a standard donation towards our extensive vet costs however in the end we must still rely on fundraising and your donations.

Please check out our success stories to see the results of our work.
