Boxer Dog Rescue Northern England

Boxer Dog Rescue Northern England is a registered charity (1153127) and a rescue organisation run by a small team of volunteers who are dedicated to helping boxers in need. We have a network of volunteer supporters who help with fostering, transporting, homechecking and fundraising and we are always keen to widen this network, so if you are in the North of England and can volunteer, please contact us.Contact

​We never put a healthy, non-aggressive dog to sleep. All dogs are microchipped and neutered prior to re-homing (unless a medical condition prevents the surgery). A full assessment is completed beforehand.

What We Do

We attend generally to the welfare of all boxer dogs in the North of England and beyond, in need of care and attention or re-homing. We promote kindness to animals, encouraging and educating on responsible pet ownership.

Donate

Please help support our charity

The Rescue relies solely on donations.  We ask for a minimum donation of £300 for each dog we rehome but this falls far short of the costs we incur in rehoming most of our dogs.

We also gladly accept donations via Gift Aid please click here for more information.

We use wonderful.org  to process our donations, meaning BDRNE gets 100% of your donation.
If you would like to donate an amount to BDRNE, it will be gratefully received.

Donate Here

Did you know that you can donate actual gifts via our Wishlist at smile.amazon.co.uk account?

Usually before Christmas, we share this with our Facebook members and our kennelled dogs benefit from toys, equipment and snacks, but it’s active all year round.

Please help our charity, we use Wonderful.org

Volunteering

Our incredible network of volunteers makes this charity possible, BDRNE is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.
Donating their time love and energy to one aim, the ongoing happiness of boxer dogs.

fostering

Fostering

Foster homes are a vitally important in the quest to find the right homes for our dogs. We would like all of the boxers in our care to be with foster homes as they give us a better idea of the personality of a dog in a real home environment.

home checking

Home Checking

All prospective adopters need to undergo a home check. This helps us to understand the environment the dog will be introduced to and also allows us to match the best home to our rescue dogs. 

Transporting

We take dogs from all kind of situations. Some dogs come to us when they are found as a stray and taken to the council run pound where they are allowed to stay for only 7 days. When a boxer reaches its ‘time’ we are often asked if we can take it and we always will.  If you can offer assistance, please contact us.

Fund Raising

We ask for a minimum donation upon adoption for every dog we rehome but this falls far short of the costs we incur in rehoming most of our dogs. To support the rescue we also run fund raising events, stands at boxer shows and Crufts plus there’s the Accrington Boxer Walk  held several times during the year.

Adopting a Boxer Dog

We first need to get to know a bit more about you and surroundings where you live. We also need to match you with the right companion to ensure a successful adoption...

The simple answer is it is different for everyone, the circumstances of adoption vary with every dog. However of everything goes well then it could be as little as a few weeks.

There are some costs involved with adoption but these are very small in comparison to buying a boxer puppy and are normally to make sure your new companion is healthy and keen to meet you.
