Boxer Dog Rescue Northern England |

Apply to Adopt

Please have an open mind when applying to adopt a boxer, especially when it comes to colour/age etc. Whether they are white, brindle, or red they ALL deserve homes, a boxer is a boxer no matter what the colour!! Any true boxer lover would not even consider disregarding a dog because of its colour, they are all as beautiful as eachother. The same goes for older dogs, please do not overlook the mature boxers just because they are past the puppy stage, you may want a younger boxer to grow up with the kids, when in fact a younger boxer is probably way too bouncy for kids, an older one is more likely to be gentle around them.

Please DO NOT fill this form in until you have read ALL of our rehoming policies.

We do not get perfect, well trained show dogs in Rescue, we get the leftovers. Please do not contact us expecting a young puppy, many dogs that come into rescue are over 12 months old, yes we will get the odd young dog needing a new home, but the majority of dogs will already be adults and will most likely have been passed on and on, some have been pushed from one lousy situation to another. Some may never of had the right training, others may not of had the appropriate medical care, some are scared, depressed, worried or sick. Rescue dogs are not commodities, please do not contact us thinking you will get yourself 'a bargain' by rescuing a boxer - rescue a boxer to save a life and give a dog a new chance in life - something he or she may never of had before.

Adopting a rescue dog may be the best decision you ever make, it is a lifelong commitment, it may be hard work, it may be tiring, but it will be worth it, there is no greater joy than welcoming a rescue boxer into your home and showing him how life should be.
