Seasons greetings from NorCal Boxer Rescue, and thank you for helping us complete our 20th successful year of rescue!

This year we rescued 85 boxers, about one dog every four days. Although this is fewer dogs than we rescued last year, our dedication to helping senior dogs and those with significant medical needs means that our dogs occupy foster space longer.

Your generosity allowed us to serve a total of 23 seniors this year. Each senior received the best care and a devoted foster home; nine were adopted; and four left this earth surrounded by the love of a hospice foster. Our 2018 veterinary costs for seniors were over $45,000.00, but we are blessed to give 23 old souls the care and dignity they deserve.

Our general veterinary expenses were over $150,000.00 this year, and our expenses for behavioral intervention were over $28,200.00. In the past, we could not have shouldered these costs; but thanks to you, we have been able to pull sick, injured, and senior boxers to give them a second chance.

As the only entirely foster-based boxer rescue in northern CA, we share your belief that a home environment is best, but the number of available foster homes sometimes limits our intake ability. Perhaps you may consider joining our team of volunteers and fostering an NCBR boxer in 2019!

NCBR survives because of the dedication of its volunteers, some of whom work hundreds of hours each month for boxer rescue, and never get enough thanks. We want to especially acknowledge these forever-giving volunteers. Thank you for having a compassionate heart and for believing that homeless boxers deserve a life filled with love.

Happy New Year!
