Our mission: To balance the health, safety, and welfare needs of canines in the Central Texas area by providing nourishment and a safe environment for unwanted, stray, abused, and impounded Boxers. Once placed in new homes they become more than just pets, they become family.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Austin Boxer Rescue would like to say "Thank You" to a very special group of children; The Thoughtful Norman Tigers, or T.N.T.

DOGS IN NEED

DOGS IN NEED
If you want to help dogs that are currently at risk of dying in shelters please consider opening your home and giving a boxer a second chance at life. If you are able to help take a dog into foster care please let us know ASAP as time is running out for these dogs. If you can not foster but want to help then please consider donating towards boarding this is known as "virtually fostering." We are only able to save dogs when we have foster homes and or donations. Click here or on photo to the right see the dogs in need of rescue at shelters.

****Please note: no dogs over the age of 6 years can be virtually fostered, they must go directly into foster care.****

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 and our volunteers take them into their homes. We do not have a shelter or a facility. Our rescued dogs are rehabilitated medically, socialized and are taught basic manners. We service Austin, San Antonio, Temple, and the surrounding areas.

Thank you for your support !!!
