About Boxer Rescue of Atlantic Canada

Boxer Rescue of Atlantic Canada is comprised of a small group of volunteers with a common passion - Boxers!! We love the breed and are devoted to their welfare. We strive to place all of our dogs in loving, responsible homes, suited to the dog's best interest.

Each of our volunteers come from different backgrounds. Their professional careers are vastly varied, their home situations are just as varied. However, their love for dogs, BOXERS in particular, has brought them together. Each dog benefits from something different at every home, and from every hand of our volunteers. Anyone needing assistance, as well, benefits from our diverse backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
