4 Paws Boxer Rescue

We are a small "Not for profit" boxer rescue in Mid-Michigan. We have been owned by Boxers for 8 years and have helped rescue/foster boxers for the past 6 years.

We pay for all food, toys, crates, medical, spay/neuter surgeries either out of pocket or by Adoption fee donations.

We will open our home and lives up to any boxer dog needing a home. If we do not have room at the time we may either refer you to other rescues or help you rehome your pet without taking custody of your pet.

All rescues are raised and live happily indoors. Crate training does take place in our home but our Boxer buddies are only crated for special medical reasons, to sleep, or when we have to go away for a little while. IF your boxer prefers to sleep in his/her crate, that is not a problem with us!

We have a large fenced in back yard for your boxer to run and play.

**ALL BOXERS ARE SPAYED/NEUTERED PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR THEIR NEW FAMILIES AND FUTURES**

We will do whatever we can to keep you in close contact with the new family of your best friend but we can not guarantee this.

All boxers are Temperment tested and placed in only the best homes that will most closely fit your home and lifestyle.

If at any time the posibility of needing to rehome your rescued boxer comes about, we require that each and every boxer is returned to us.

All adoption applicants must fill out a manditory adoption application. You must Own your home.

We do not adopt to renters due to the possibility of needing to be rehomed under a temporary residence.
