R&R Boxer Rescue

R&R Boxer Rescue is an all-volunteer 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to providing a life line to dogs at imminent risk of euthanasia at one of our many high kill shelters here in Southern California. These are the seniors, the special medical needs and those that the shelter has deemed rescue only for behavior. The latter are most often euthanized as they are labeled dog aggressive or human aggressive. In our experience the vast majority of these dogs are either just scared in the stressful crowded kill shelter environment or have not been properly socialized with other dogs. In all cases these dogs were failed by humans on at least one level and deserve a chance to be the dog they were born to be.

As the name suggests, we are primarily a Boxer rescue, but not exclusively. Our mission is simple in words, helping once forgotten dogs complete a family of their own. Just as every dog is unique, the path and process is unique for each and every one. Our commitment is to giving them the path and process they need to go on and complete a family of their very own. For some that is just some much needed Rest and Relaxation, for others it is Rescue and Rehabilitation, but at the end of the day we are here to give them their R&R.

Our strategies are to just continue to grow our team of supporters and fosters so we can continue to save dogs. We believe that raising our adoption fee will turn adopters away, so for now we wish to keep things going as they are and properly manage our intake to stay in the green financially.

We have an amazing team of fosters and volunteers, which make us moderately capable of completing our goals. We say moderately, because there are many dogs we cannot save, and we wish we had more volunteers to save more.

In the nearly 5 years of existence, our small but mighty team has saved close to 250 dogs!
