Boxer Lovers Rescue knows that surrendering your dog is a very difficult decision, but sometimes - it is the only one to make. Based on urgency and foster home space availability, Boxer Lovers Rescue does take in dogs surrendered by their owners. Please understand that because we have very limited resources, it's necessary for us to prioritize the dogs we take into rescue. Shelter dogs in danger of being euthanized are given first and top priority. Next are dogs in need of immediate health care that their owners cannot provide. Then, owner surrenders are considered.

​

If you choose to surrender your dog, you'll be asked to complete a surrender contract. Your signature on this contract represents a permanent decision on your part. This legally binding contract gives full ownership of the dog to Boxer Lovers Rescue. This allows us to provide veterinary care and down the road, legally adopt out the dog to a carefully pre-screened 'forever' home.

​

Please be patient with us and we will do our best to work with you to ensure the safety and well-being of your dog.
