You will be asked to notify your vet and landlord (if applicable to your situation) that we will be calling. Read your email regularly to look out for your interview information (check your spam/junk mailboxes too).The more thorough you are, the better an idea we will have of who you are and what kind of dog is suitable for you and your family. Please fill our application out in its entirety. If you filled it out an adoption application on another site, we won’t have access to it. Complete the online adoption application located exclusively on the SCBR site, below.This also means you cannot “try out” a dog you’re thinking to adopt, nor can you bring your own animals to “see if they get along”. We don’t allow foster homes to adopt their own fosters so you know they’re always available. All dogs go to qualified SCBR foster homes for evaluation. We do not do the “RENT TO OWN” or “FOSTER TO ADOPT” method of placement.The REAL work will fall into your hands! There are no perfect dogs…and this certainly applies to rescued boxers! SCBR looks for adoptive families who will be stable and able provide for the necessary needs of the dog, including the large amount of activity, exercise, and attention the Boxer breed needs. Obedience training outside the home is an excellent tool to help bond with your rescued boxer. SCBR offers post-adoption support through our volunteers and fellow adoptive families, website links, and limited phone support if needed. Adoptive families must be willing, able and dedicated to helping their dog adjust. The settling time varies with each dog and can last months. Rescue dogs go through an adjustment period when they join a new home. Scared and perhaps grieving, he needs a warm, safe space inside your home and a loving, compassionate place in your heart. Whether left to roam the streets to survive on its own, or given up by a family who loved him, a rescue dog goes through a great deal of trauma. This page is updated daily as information becomes available.Boxers come into rescue for many different reasons. Filling out an APPLICATION is the fastest way to meet and learn more about a dog that interests you. To learn more about a dog, please click on his or her picture. Consider what RESCUE really is, and please take a second look at the dogs outside of your original criteria. Maybe they are a bit older then you may think you want, or the wrong color, or have a bad picture that doesn’t show their true beauty, but they are all beautiful. So we ask you to take a second look at all the dogs on this page. Would people overlook your dog because of their age or color? Or maybe you have not successfully trained your current dog to be “good with kids, dogs, cats, etc.”, limiting their appeal to someone looking to adopt a dog. But many dogs, if given the right training and time, can fit into many complicated households.Īnd consider the following -what would happen to your own dogs, if for some reason you needed rescue to take your dog, or worse, your dog became a stray and ended up in rescue. What that means is that if most of the adoption applications we get are for males, under two years old, flashy fawn, and good with kids, dogs, cats, etc., then what do we do with all our three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen year olds? And what do we do with all the white and brindle dogs? Or the males and females that don’t meet your wish list? Granted we try to do our best to match the “good with kids, dogs, cats, etc. Rescue is taking in a dog in need, no matter what age, sex, color, cuteness, etc. If you are interested in adding a new member to your family, and have decided to rescue a boxer, please take a minute to understand what rescue is.
