Boxer Adoption Resources
One of the biggest decisions when deciding to get an additional family member is whether to buy or adopt a Boxer. There are many resources available for those looking to adopt a Boxer that can help you make this important decision. This article identifies and describes sites and organizations that anyone wanting to adopt a Boxer should definitely take a look at.
American Boxer Rescue Assoc.
One of the main organizations for rescue of the Boxer breed is the American Boxer Rescue Assoc. (ABRA). The ABRA assists in the rescue of purebred Boxer rescue by coordinating the efforts of different breeders, clubs and organizations in rescue Boxers in a humane way. The ABRA is a non-profit organization and is formed only to assist in the welfare of the Boxer breed.
The ABRA lists a variety of information for the general public. One of the most useful resources is a listing of ABRA approved organizations. This is a comprehensive listing of organizations that are approved by the ABRA and operate according to their guidelines. Although this list does not include every legitimate Boxer rescue, it is a great place to start.
One thing missing from the ABRA site is information about the Boxer breed. It would be a nice addition for the organization to include articles for the general public about rescuing a Boxer. Some article examples that would be great is the benefits of rescuing a Boxer and how to select a rescue organization. The addition of educational articles would add so much benefit to an already great site and organization.
