At Boxer Haven Rescue we understand life can throw us curves, emergencies happen, jobs change, or our life circumstances make it impossible for us to provide for our families and our dogs.  This sometimes means that a very difficult decision has to be made with regard to what is best for our dogs and our family. This is one of the hardest decisions you will ever make.

As heartbroken and guilty as we feel, we cannot ignore the practical reasons that make it necessary to give our dog away. Boxer Haven Rescue understands these reasons, and at the end of the day, our common goal is to do what is right for the animal. We do this by providing it a safe foster home, any medical attention needed, and then finally, adoption into a family that has been pre-approved through our comprehensive process, which includes vet checks and home visits. We screen our adoptive families thoroughly to ensure the dogs entrusted to us, go to only the very best homes.

What we do not only includes pulling animals who have ground themselves abandoned and homeless from shelters, but also includes many reasons from the list below. Many, if not most of our rescues come from extremely loving homes.They have been well cared for.  Letting go is painful, but became a necessity. The list below will show that sometimes, there are circumstances that make it impossible for us to keep them. In that case, we want you to know that we are here to support your decision, and make sure your dog is provided the best care and placed in the most living home for the rest of its’ forever.
