VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are by far the most important necessity for a rescue. Without volunteers, many more Boxers would be euthanized in shelters. We are a strictly non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to rescuing purebred Boxers, getting them healthy, evaluating their temperaments and finding wonderful homes for them. Below is a list of all the little aspects involved in rescuing these dogs. If you can help with any or all of them, PLEASE submit a volunteer application today.

Transport... When a dog comes into rescue, we must arrange the transport from where the dog is residing or being held to the CBR foster home. We also help with the transport to their new forever homes. If you can help by offering to drive in your area on occasion, please let us know.

Fostering...Rescues cannot operate without foster homes. The fewer foster homes we have, the fewer dogs we can save. We have had to say no to a dog in need on several occasions due to lack of space. Foster families agree to accept a dog into their home as one of their own, take it to the vet for any needed medical treatments (with the cost paid for by us!), nurture the dog, and get to know the dog well enough for CBR to give an accurate report of the dog's behavior. You will find out, to the best of your ability, if the dog does well with other dogs, cats, children and adults. You'll report the dog's quirks, likes, dislikes and anything else someone would want to know about one of our dogs before choosing to adopt it. If this is something you are interested in, PLEASE don't hesitate to submit an application.  NOTE: CBR pays all veterinary expenses on each of its foster dogs. The only expenses the foster volunteer pays is for food, water and toys.

Homevisits...We can always use more volunteers to do homevisits in their area. A homevisit entails visiting an applicant's home after their application has been successfully processed to meet the family. We are looking to see that what the family has told us about their home, yard and lifestyle is true. We want to meet existing pets to see how they are and give us a better idea of which of our rescues would do best in that home.

Donations...CBR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We rely solely on donations and adoption fees to rescue our dogs. Vet expenses can be high just on normal preventative care. You can only imagine what they can be when a dog needs to be treated for an illness or disease such as heartworms. We will always need cash donations. We are also very happy to receive items such as blankets, toys, dog food, bowls, leashes, collars and crates. If you would like to donate to our rescue, please email us.
