Welcome to the Boxer Friends, Inc. web site.

Our need for veterinary funds is critical right now! We recently rescued three Boxers from a local shelter and they all three became very ill. After much testing, they were diagnosed with Babesia, a potentially fatal illness trasnsmitted by ticks. Needless to say, our veterinary bills are quite high due to the amount of tests run, hospitalizations, and treatments. Your donation is greatly appreciated and tax deductible! You may donate online using PayPal
or mail a check made payable to Boxer Friends, Inc. to the address on the left.
URGENT - PERMANENT OR FOSTER HOME NEEDED!
Tyson is being treated at a vet's office right now because he's having complications with his liver from the Babesia infection. The vet said Tyson is ready to go home but needs medication and a special diet to help his condition, both of which will be paid for by Boxer Friends. The ideal home for him will be one in which there are no other dogs, although he was living with a cat. If you can see it you your heart to help Tyson, please complete our online application or call Fran at 954-646-3786.

Boxer Friends, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit Florida charitable organization, devoted to helping Boxers in need in the south Florida area. We focus on the needy Boxer dogs in Broward and south Palm Beach counties, but are not limited to these areas, as resources allow. We rescue Boxers from shelters in south Florida before they are euthanized, and help displaced Boxers find new, loving, appropriate homes.
If you would like to help us continue to help the Boxers, please make a check payable to Boxer Friends Inc. and mail to the address on the left side of this page, or use this link to make an online donation through Pay Pal, a secure server:

Please note that we are not a source for puppies; puppies rarely need the help of a rescue group for placement. Please also do not ask us to recommend a breeder, for we just do not know any reputable ones in our area who complete the necessary pre-breeding fitness tests both males and females must undergo to ensure a quality litter of puppies. We also cannot recommend a store from which to purchase a healthy Boxer puppy, for the same reasons.
That said, we can help you adopt a Boxer who will give you wonderful companionship and unconditional love. All dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, tested for heartworms, and given a physical exam by one of our veterinarians.

It has come to our attention that there is another south Florida Boxer rescue group claiming they have changed their name from Boxer Friends, Inc. We would like to take this opportunity to make it known that Boxer Friends, Inc. has not undergone a change of name since our establishment in 2000.
