Boxer Buddies Rescue, Inc.

Adoption Application

Effective May 1st, 2005 due to our ever increasing costs of vet care, Boxer Buddies Rescue, Inc. will be charging a $300 adoption donation. 

Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Please note, we only handle the following states, MA, RI, NH, CT and Southern portions of ME. If you are located outside of these 5 states go to Boxer Rescue USA to locate a boxer rescue near you.

We do not have a shelter facility for people to "meet the dogs".

All the dogs in our program are located in foster homes throughout New England.

 

 

Please Note: Before you fill out an application please be sure that rescue is the option you choose to add an addition to your family. Please don't use our time to take you through the process only to tell us you've changed your mind or you bought a puppy etc. We would like our volunteers to focus their efforts and time on those applications that are serious in helping a rescued boxer. This is not a first come/first serve procedure as we take great care in matching our dogs to prospective homes.

 

All applicants are contacted via email once the application is received. Please check your email frequently for our response to your application. Visit our "Adoption Process" page to learn more about the steps in the adoption process.

Personal Information

Please Note: One of the most frustrating aspects of adopting from a qualified rescue group is the time it takes. We review applications, conduct telephone interviews, call references and conduct home visits. This attention to detail is one of the reasons why our placement success ratio is somewhere around 99% overall. We are all volunteers. The members of our organization work outside the home, and they each have their own families and their own animals to attend to in addition to the volunteer work they do for us. If you are not willing to be patient during the adoption process, then adopting from our rescue may not be your best option. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received.

Boxer Buddies does not have a facility, and you cannot make arrangements to meet the dogs in their foster homes until you have completed the entire adoption process. Our foster families dedicate their time to nurturing and loving these dogs. We don’t ask them to open their homes to “window shoppers” but focus only on people with whom we’ve spoken personally and believe to be a good candidate family for that foster's Boxer once that applicant has completed the adoption process. We strive to find the best fit, lifestyle and environment for each individual Boxer, based on the assessment of daily interactions by its foster family.

We do not accept applications for specific dogs.  However, we will use our experience and knowledge to ensure that you get a dog that fits into your family and lifestyle perfectly.  The more flexible you are, the easier it is for us to match you with the perfect companion.  We ask that you be open minded and remember that our organization is here to find these dogs permanent homes ...... something they all need.  Please be aware that all of our available dogs have people currently trying to qualify to adopt them.  Our goal is to find the best home for each individual dog, based on what we feel is in the best interest of the DOG.
