   Austin Boxer Rescue, located in Austin Texas, is a non-profit organization that branched off from Lone Star Boxer Rescue of Houston. ABR is made up entirely of volunteers who are dedicated to removing dogs from bad situations and placing them into loving permanent homes. We receive dogs from shelters, owners, and dogs found as strays. The dogs in rescue are rehabilitated medically, socialized and are taught basic manners. We service Austin, San Antonio, Temple, and the surrounding areas. AUSTIN BOXER RESCUE- WHAT'S NEW
On February 27th, the S2000 Club of America will be holding a high performance driving school event at Harris Hill Road in San Marcos, TX, to benefit Austin Boxer Rescue. This is a unique opportunity to learn to be a better, faster driver all while breaking NO laws! The event will be held at Harris Hill Road, which is a private, members-only track located only 25 minutes south of downtown Austin, just outside of San Marcos. The track itself is 1.8 miles of new asphalt that includes 11 turns. There are a lot of challenges present on this track, but the trained instructors are ready to teach you how to navigate and master them! You can see track maps and general information about the track here: http://www.harrishillroad.com/ Event registration will include breakfast and lunch, and the cost to participate is $170. Participants will need a helmet rated M or SA 2005 or newer and to have a safety tech inspection performed on their car within 30 days (using the school's provided form). Nearly all street legal cars can pass the safety tech inspection and would be acceptable for this (sorry, no trucks, SUVs, or other high profile vehicles), though convertibles are subject to specific roll protection standards; please ask if your car will meet these standards prior to registration! Registration will go online on January 19 at http://www.motorsportreg.com/. Spectators are welcome and lunch (burger/chips/drink) can be purchased on site for $8 per person ($1 of this will go to ABR). Children are welcome but MUST BE under constant parental supervision.

Our ability to rescue dogs depends on how many foster homes we have available. We desperately need more people to foster these dogs until we can find them a forever home! PLEASE HELP!!!! There is no cost involved with fostering a dog for Austin Boxer Rescue. We pay ALL medical bills, provide heartworm and flea prevention, and will loan you a crate. If providing food creates a hardship, we can provide dog food as well. Please click here to fill out the foster application. Featured Dog in Need of Forever Homes
Mimic is a very easy going girl and is content doing whatever her human is doing. She walks great on a leash, sits for petting, knows down, sit and other basic commands. Mimic would make a great family dog or single home because all she cares about is being pet. Read More
RESCUED DOGS IN NEED OF FOSTERThese dogs below are in need of an immediate foster. We DESPERATELY NEED FOSTERS to help us take care of these dogs while we find them permanent homes. If you are interested in fostering, please fill out an application. Harley Harley is an adorable 4year old neutered male who is current on all his vaccines. Unfortunately, Harley’s owners are returning him back to ABR. It’s hard to imagine why, because he is so sweet and wants nothing more than to curl up on the couch with his best friend. Harley is crate trained and house trained and does well in the house with other dogs. He currently lives with two daschunds and another boxer. It is evident that Harley lacks confidence when on a leash. Harley’s new owners will need to be committed to working with him on leash manners...Read More

CHAMP UPDATE
12/31/09- We are very excited to let everyone know that Champ has not lost use of his one back leg and he is making excellent progress in his new foster home. Champ went to a new foster home just before he had to have his leg amputated. It was a difficult process leading up to the surgery, but we’re convinced that it was more than necessary. He has had his struggles but it’s as if he didn’t lose a leg at all! He runs and plays with his foster family and loves to roll over and bat his legs in excitement. The most wonderful thing about Champ is all the love he has to give. The day he finds his forever home will be a bittersweet one for us. Read More
