Dog rescue in Alexandria, VA

Welcome to BoxAR Rescue . . . . .

Our Mission is the rescue of the purebred Boxer, Boston terrier dogs. We are a 501C3 not-for-profit organization created solely for the rescue and protection of the Boxer breed. Specifically, we take in abandoned, owner-surrender and shelter dogs who would otherwise be destroyed. We take them into our homes or carefully screened foster homes, provide the necessary health care, evaluate temperaments and then place them with loving, qualified families.

Our donation fee is dependent upon the age of the dogs and is applied towards general physical examination, spay/neuter surgery, all shots, worming, heartworm testing (and treatment, when necessary) as well as the daily care and upkeep of each dog before adoption. This fee is also applied toward the dogs who require additional medical care due to abuse and/or neglect.

Another goal we have is to educate against pet stores, puppy mills and the over-breeding of dogs. Many times the dog comes from just such a background. They may also come from a home that did not take the time to properly train and, in turn, caused the dog to develop bad habits. We seriously encourage our adopters to consider obedience training.

We hope that when you choose your next pet, you will consider rescue - and help change the world - one dog at a time!

Rescue FAQs

VA, PA, DC, MD, MA, CT

All of our dogs are in foster homes and we do adopt out of state.

Additional adoption info

Our rescue Boxers and Boston terriers will only be placed as "inside" dogs your existing pets must be altered
your Boxer must be kept on heartworm preventive and receive regular vet care
obedience training is required for some Boxers and suggested for all we may not do a "same-sex" placement because some dogs will not get along with another of the same sex we prefer not to adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 due to the risk of injury, not from aggression, but from the natural exuberance which many Boxers exhibit. Any exceptions will be made only after a thorough interview and full agreement from all board members

Adoption Procedures

fill out the application (by completing the application you acknowledge that you have read our policies and you understand that we may turn down your application for any reason)
we will check vet and personal references
you will be interviewed by phone at which time an appointment will be made for a visit to your home
the home visit is accomplished (we ask that all family members be present for this visit)
we will set up a date for you to come and meet the Boxer(s) you are interested in (we ask that you bring your family members as well as your existing dogs
the adoption fee is paid, the contract is signed and you may take your new family member home
NOTES: Our adoption fees are based on the age of our dogs. The fee can range anywhere from $350 (young puppies) to $175 (older Boxers) for Boxers. Mixes are $150. We do not negotiate adoption fees. This is not a "sale" but a fee that enables us to continue to help more Boxers in the future. We are all unpaid volunteers and, as such, we only keep our heads above water by accepting the adoption fee. We also accept donations and we do hold fundraisers from time to time. You may also be interested in sponsoring one of our needy Boxers. If so, contact our director for details.
