Founded in 1998 by Trish Spencer, Boxer Luv Rescue (BLR) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to Boxers and Boxer mixes in need throughout Arizona. We have saved the lives of more than 10,000 rescue dogs since 1998. Boxer Luv’s goal is to find more ways to build our resources, so all the precious lives of this wonderful breed can be rescued in our area, and live on to enhance the lives of loving families. Boxer Luv is an all-volunteer organization that operates solely on private donations and grants from individuals and corporations. The vast majority of dogs in BLR are rehabilitated in foster homes, where they are medically treated, and given time to heal from their physical and emotional wounds before being ready for adoption to qualified families and individuals. All dogs are spayed or neutered and receive all vaccinations before being adopted to a carefully screened, loving "forever" home. Boxer Luv is proud to be a New Hope Adoption Partner with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, partners with PAC911 of Phoenix, and a member of the Boxer Foundation. Additionally, our Luv-To-Save Thrift Shop is an enterprise established in 2012 to raise funds for the Boxers. We are proud to be one of the largest Boxer rescues in the USA!
1. Online application. You are required to be a resident of Arizona to adopt from Boxer Luv Rescue. Once submitted, your application is reviewed by our adoption team, and qualified applicants are contacted to set up a phone interview. 2. Phone interview. One of our Adoption Counselors will go through your application with you over the phone. 3. Home visit(s). One of our volunteers will contact you to set up a home visit at a time when everyone is home. 4. Our decision. Shortly after the home visit, you will be notified about our decision. 5. You will be matched with a dog. Matching a dog with your family can take days to weeks for the best match. We encourage you to stay in contact with your representative. 6. You add a new member to your family. Once we find your match, and it’s a good fit, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract and for an adoption donation to help cover our veterinary costs. We strongly encourage each adoptive family to look into a training program with your entire family and new Boxer. Training will make this adoption both fun and successful! After you adopt, we will follow up with you, and we are always available to answer questions and provide help when possible. 7. You become a success story! We wish you and your rescue Boxer all the best. Remember you are now part of the Boxer Luv Rescue family. Always feel free to ask us questions and send pictures. We love to hear how our babies are doing!
