NCBR Suspends Rescue Efforts...

It is with great sadness that NorCal  Boxer Rescue  announces its intent to temporarily suspend all rescue efforts related to pulling Boxers from California and Texas shelters. We have done our best to avoid taking this step, but due to our current financial situation, we have no responsible alternatives.

As many of you who are familiar with our organization know, our adoption fees do not cover the costs of vetting our Boxers, even if the Boxer has no extraordinary issues.  We rely heavily on donations and fundraisers to help make up the difference; however, donations have fallen fairly consistently over the last year while the number of Boxers needing extraordinary care has risen significantly. The end result is that NCBR is, once again, in serious financial debt to the tune of $8,500.

We currently have approximately 80 dogs in rescue awaiting adoption. We will continue to provide these dogs with the medical care and attention that they both require and deserve; however, we will no longer be pulling new dogs from any shelters until our veterinary bills have been paid in full.

We have rescued 21 dogs in the first 27 days of 2010 in California alone, and we are painfully aware that our decision will mean that many Boxers will die in shelters. That fact alone breaks our hearts and goes against the very nature of our organization. In the end, however, we do believe that this is the only way to sustain the long term survival of NorCal Boxer Rescue.

As always, we are truly thankful for our NCBR volunteers and extended families. We have many supporters, and we are so grateful for all that you do to help us save this wonderful breed. We appreciate your patience and support as we try to regroup and get back to the business of saving Boxer lives.

Our Mission: Leave No Boxer Behind.

NorCal Boxer Rescue provides a temporary sanctuary for Boxers in need throughout California. Boxers come to us from shelters and from owners who are no longer able to care for them. We provide these animals with veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, a microchip, a temporary foster home at a private residence, lots of love, and placement into a carefully screened home forever.

NCBR is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is run entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers who have an unmatched love for preserving this wonderful breed. If you have a heart for animals, we invite you get involved in whatever capacity you can.
