Mid‐Iowa Boxer Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was formed in 2007. We work closely with many small shelters throughout Iowa to save Boxers. Many dogs come to us untrained and in need of medical care. The dogs are taught proper manners and nurtured back to good health in foster homes.
You must submit a completed application. Home visits are required, applicant will be notified of approval or disapproval. Our adoption fees range from $300 to $350. Dogs are placed as indoor dogs only. We check all references; this includes vet and personal references. Dogs are typically placed in homes with fenced yards but this requirement is based on each individual dog. Absolutely no invisible fences, shock/vibration collars, choke chains or pinch/prong collars. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered and fully vetted prior to placement. Adopters are required to keep dogs current on vetting and shots. MIBR may do vetting follow ups for the dog’s lifetime to ensure that adopters are fulfilling this requirement. Adopters are required to give dogs a monthly heartworm preventative year round and MIBR may check with your vet to ensure adopters are fulfilling this requirement. Our dogs are typically placed with dogs of the opposite sex. We do not place females with females at all. There are no exceptions to this. Our dogs will not be placed in homes with unaltered dogs. Adopters are required to feed dogs a high quality dog food. Dogs may require training or obedience classes. Adoption contracts must be signed and payment in full in the form of a check or money order prior to placement of dogs. Adopters agree that if anything should ever happen where the dog must be rehomed the dog must be returned to Mid Iowa Boxer Rescue.
