The purpose of this coalition is to help people in the Midwest U.S. find a Boxer to adopt and to coordinate the rescue and care of dogs in need.

Boxer rescue organizations throughout Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska work together to rescue and place dogs in loving, permanent homes. All these groups operate as not-for-profit entities, and each has particular requirements for prospective homes. In general, you can expect to complete an Adoption Application or Interview, meet in your home with a rescue representative, keep your new Boxer as an indoor pet, and donate an adoption fee to the rescue organization. More on what is expected, as well as what you can expect from us, may be found in various sections of this site. Please refer to the links at the bottom of this page or to Our Rescue Groups, Boxer Briefs (FAQ's) and Helpful Articles for more details about each rescue group within MWBR and about rescue dogs in general.

Here are some recent adoption statistics for just the Mo/Kan chapter of MWBR: Mo/Kan Boxer Rescue accepted 53 dogs into its program during the 2007 adoption year, including 8 dogs that were held over from 2006. 34 dogs were adopted from Mo/Kan Boxer Rescue during 2007, 7 of which were carried over from 2006. (13 of the dogs from 2007 were carried forward into the 2008 calendar year.) Our successful adoption rate is certainly rewarding, but it would be ideal if fewer of these great dogs entered our rescue program to begin with. However, we are very thankful that we are able to help and make a difference. The numbers really speak for themselves.

Please feel free to contact any of the rescue contacts you find here with your questions, concerns and ideas. The rescue contacts would also be happy to help if you would like to learn how to volunteer your time, money or energy to helping Boxer Rescue.

Each group has its own page or link with information on the area it serves, its special needs or requirements, and how you can help that group's efforts. Please keep in mind, however, that all participating groups share applications, information and resources in trying to help or place dogs.
