Buckeye Boxer Rescue, Inc.

Buckeye Boxer Rescue, Inc. is a small, but growing, group rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing Boxers throughout the State of Ohio.

BBR is comprised of several volunteers working out of their homes. Love of the Boxer breed is what keeps our volunteers going!

Our foster dogs are behaviorally and physically assessed by our experienced volunteers. If training is deemed necessary it is done prior to the dog's placement into its permanent home. We want each and every adoption to work!

Beyond rescue and adoption, our volunteers welcome the opportunity to educate the general public on responsible pet ownership and care. We strive to keep abreast of the most current information and enjoy the opportunity to 'talk Boxers'!

We can always use more volunteers!! If you're interested in helping out, please email us at volunteer@buckeyeboxer.com

We do appreciate that not every potential adopter has Boxer dog experience and we'd like to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to email us at info@buckeyeboxer.com

Another great source for information is Boxer Dog Planet at http://www.BoxerDogPlanet.com. BDP is an international forum full of Boxer lovers...any question you ask is sure to be answered!
