NorCal Boxer Rescue of California provides a temporary sanctuary for boxers in need throughout California. Boxers come to us from shelters, as strays, and from owners who need to give up their dogs due to changing life circumstances such as: relocation,financial hardship, divorce, illness, or death. NorCal Boxer Rescue of California provides the animals veterinary care (often in the hundreds and sometimes into the thousands of dollars), spay/neuter, shots, high quality food, a temporary foster home not a kennel), love, and placement into a home for life under a contract that dictates their humane care.

UPDATE 3/8: Bunker saw the vet today, he is still not out of the woods yet and we won't know for awhile if there will be permanent damage caused by his condition. His blood panel is not where we hoped it would be at this poiint, one day at a time. In the mean time he is getting lots of loving carefrom foster mom Marlene, foster brother Mac and sister Luna.
UPDATE 3/1: Bunker has done very well through the weekend. He is now able to stand with a little more strength. Today he began to eat on his own and will now slowly be taken off of the IV antibiotics. We hope Bunker will continue on this road to recovery! This could not have happened without all his "fans" out there, we thank you ALL VERY MUCH!!!!
UPDATE 3/1: Bunker had a ER exploratory laparotomy today and our vet found found a foreign object in his stomach that weighed 1 pound 11 OZ and was the size of a couple of bricks. It was a difficult surgery because the vet had a very hard time just getting his stomach out of his abdominal cavity, thats how swollen the stomach had become. She believed the object was primarily a large foam object like a nurf football which had absorbed rocks, grass, etc and formed a solid, rock hard mass. Bunker is now on IV fluids, multiple IV antibiotics and IV pain meds. The next 24-72 hour will tell us whether he is going to survive, but atleast now he stands a chance.
2/28: Bunker was a stray in the Sacramento area and found himself at the local shelter. Due to his obvious need for immediate medical attention we were able to pull him right away and get him to our veterinarian on 2/28. Once to the vet we performed a series of tests, 2 X-ray's, liver and kidney studies and a CBC. We believe that Bunker may have a foreign object in his stomach, so today he is being prepped for surgery with IV fluids/antibiotics. His very frail body may not survive through the surgery, but he will surely not survive without it. Please help Bunker by making a donation to help with his care. NCBR is only able to rescue boxers like Bunker with help from the community! All donation amounts are helpful and appreciated!
