Boxer Haven Rescue

We believe they are truly a perfect companion. They are lively, loyal, loving and just plain fun. However, the Boxer is NOT the ideal breed for everyone. The same qualities and characteristics that endear them to those who love them, may make them unsuitable for some households.

Boxer Haven Rescue is a private, all volunteer foster—home dog rescue program in Michigan. We find homes for the Boxers and Boxer mixes that have found themselves abandoned, surrendered and homeless.

The boxers we currently have in our rescue can be found on our web page. www.boxerhaven.org

Our application to adopt can be found at:http://www.boxerhaven.org/adoption-application

Before You Apply:
1) Boxer Haven Rescue adopts to Michigan Residents Only. We do make exceptions for those living on the MI state line. *If you are not in the State of Michigan, PLEASE DO A WEB SEARCH ON “BOXER RESCUE IN YOUR STATE” and apply to a rescue near you.
2) Boxer Haven Rescue DOES NOT place female dogs in homes with other female dogs. One of the main reasons for the surrender of a boxer is due to female on female aggression.
3) Current pets should already be spayed or neutered (this is circumstantial due to age, health etc, so if your pets are not spayed or neutered, please provide an explanation)
4) You will be asked for contact information for your veterinarian(s). Your current and past pets must have documented vetting, including up to date vaccines, yearly heartworm testing and proof of heartworm prevention.
* If you are not current on vetting, DO NOT complete an application. This will save our volunteers and yourself a lot of time. If you would still like to be considered for adoption, please make an appointment with your veterinarian and get your dogs updated, tested for heartworm and on a heartworm prevention plan. Please consider applying in 6 months.
5) You must provide two personal references.
6) You must consent to a home check to become an approved adopter.
7) You will complete an extensive application.
