Welcome to the Midwest Boxer Rescue Website. If you would like to create an account, click here.
Why do you require that existing dogs in our home also be spayed or neutered? If the rescue Boxer is altered, then why is that so important?
We require any existing dog that is not part of a reputable, ethical breeding program be spayed or neutered prior to placing a rescue dog in the home. If your dog is part of such a breeding program, then we simply ask you to provide documentation to support that (proof of health testing or screening on your dog, assessment/evaluation by a reputable breeder, etc.).
Intact animals may exhibit certain characteristics that can make assimilation of "strange" dogs (rescue dogs) into a household difficult. This could cause additional stress on an animal that may already be stressed...one that needs comfort, security and stabilization. Also, most of our dogs come to us intact, and we have them spayed or neutered. Their hormones may not subside for 6 months after their neutering, which could also cause problems with their introduction and assimilation into a household with other intact dogs. Furthermore, helping to educate people and decrease the rampant pet overpopulation is a big part of what rescue is all about, so we believe it is important to share that message. |
