Go Boxer Rescue of Greater Ohio

We are a collection of men and women, along with our families, which may or may not include Boxers, who come together as a group to rescue Boxers in need and promote responsible pet ownership. We do this simply because we have a profound love for the best breed. Our rewards are placing animals in need into forever homes only after our volunteers have fostered them in their own homes for at least 7 days. Some stay longer depending on when the foster home feels the animal ready to start its forever life. In addition to love, shelter, and food, our foster families provide additional training and reinforcements for these wonderful animals. GOBR continues to offer support to adoptive families even after our fosters are placed in a permanent home.
