This number varies, but on average it is between 175 to 195 a year. We do not turn down a dog needing us but do not take dogs with an unprovoked bite history. Boxer Rescue Ontario is a registered Ontario charity and we survive totally on donations and adoption fees to vet the dogs in our care as well as training that may be needed for under socialized dogs that enter our program. Vetting is usually between $10,000 to $14,000 a month and training is anywhere from $200 to $400.00 per session depending on the dogs needs. Tax receipts are given to those making donations over $25.00 First step is of course filling out an application and note the areas you may be interested in helping with like: First step is filling out an adoption application and once received we will contact you to arrange for a phone interview and home visit. You will be working with an assigned Adoption Coordinator to help you transition through the steps so please make sure you have a list of questions. We have a few rules that can be found before you fill out an adoption form like: We suggest taking them for a walk on neutral grounds with leash on both. Slowly bring them closer to each other and watch their body language – once you are comfortable with this step take them into your back yard. Stay calm and leave leashes on both dogs and let them sniff around and meet each other. Once you are comfortable that the dogs are getting along then take them into the house, but we suggest again that you leave the leashes on just in case. The dogs once vetted are placed in an album for the foster homes to see what the dog may need and if it fits into their home. Senior dogs can take longer to adopt out as most families looking to adopt want younger boxers, but all dogs do find their forever home. The process is the same as far as phone interviews and home visits being completed in both types of homes. Adoption is when you have filled out an adoption application on a particular dog that has been in a foster home and assessed. You will work with an adoption coordinator and the foster home before a meet and greet and taking your dog home that day. Foster to adopt is when we have a dog that is at the vets that is needing a home, but no foster homes are available. We post on the website and facebook page that we are looking for a home that will foster with the intention of adopting once the two week trial period is over. These foster to adopt families fill out a FOSTER application and go through the process along with waivers as foster homes do. Boxer Rescue Ontario has foster homes throughout Ontario and after your dog has been vetted he/she will be sent into a foster home or a foster to adopt home which have also went through a phone interview and home visit themselves. After your family has had a discussion and are in agreement you would fill out a surrender form on our website – we would also suggest you involve your vet and consult a trainer before taking the step to surrender. It is very important that you be as truthful as you can be when filling out the surrender form so we can choose the best home for your pet once he/she has been vetted and assessed. Once we receive your surrender application our Director of Intake will call you to discuss your dogs needs and arrange a date for intake.About BRO

Once a potential foster fills out a foster application on our website and has had a phone interview and a home visit they are added to our foster facebook page and given a booklet that explains what is required.
Vetting is completed by Boxer Rescue Ontario and special dog food is as well for dogs with allergies – we occasionally have food donated and we distribute it to the fosters as needed.
