FOSTER

We are always in need of foster homes, especially homes that have no dogs!

Open your heart and your home to a boxer in need. Care for them and prepare them for their furever home. Being a foster parent can be a demanding role that requires flexibility and the willingness to accommodate each boxer. While CBR does screen the boxers we rescue to ensure they are dog and people friendly, not all of our boxers come out of ideal circumstances. Some of our boxers have been abused, neglected, or completely abandoned. Others require special medical care.

What CBR Provides:

From the time we rescue a boxer until the day it leaves foster care, CBR assumes responsibility for all expenses related to the boxer’s healthcare, including vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spaying/neutering, heartworm treatments, routine medications, and emergency vet visits.

We also provide foster homes with a strong support system to help you get through any situation!

What Foster Homes Provide:

While CBR is responsible for all vet expenses, foster homes are responsible for providing their foster boxers with food, love, and a home environment. This is basically the same as permanently caring for a pet – integrating the boxer into your family, providing love, attention, socialization, basic training, shelter, and a healthy diet.

CBR also asks that our foster homes are open to emailing or talking over the phone with potential adoptive families. As our foster homes know the boxers in their care the best, we ask that they share information on their foster boxer and help us evaluate the adopters. In addition, CBR’s foster homes have significant input into the adoption of any of the boxers they foster. Your opinion really matters to us, and the boxer!

The following is also expected of our foster homes:

• Provide updates on foster boxers. This includes occasional photos and videos!
• Occasionally participate in events, such as meet-n-greets and fundraisers. In addition to helping the community recognize CBR, these opportunities showcase your foster boxer – hopefully helping them meet their forever family.
• Provide dependable transportation to take your foster to and from all necessary vet visits. CBR covers vet expenses; we just need you to ensure the appointments are not missed.
