Northwest Boxer Rescue

Northwest Boxer Rescue (NWBR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming Boxer dogs throughout the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Established in 2012, NWBR's mission is to ensure every Boxer has a chance to live in a loving home, providing them with necessary shelter, medical care, and a permanent home.

Objectives and Activities

NWBR operates in collaboration with volunteers and local veterinarians to rescue Boxers, offer them temporary care in foster homes, and ultimately place them in carefully screened adoptive homes. The organization strives to educate the public about animal welfare, aiming to reduce animal overpopulation and unnecessary suffering. NWBR also works with city and county groups to further these goals.

Adoption Process

The organization features a structured adoption process:

• Application: Potential adopters must complete an online application.
• Review Process: Applications are reviewed, and applicants may be contacted for additional information.
• Reference Checks: Personal and veterinary references are verified to ensure the suitability of the adopter.
• Home Inspection: Volunteers conduct home visits to ensure the environment is safe and suitable for a new pet.
• Meet and Greet: Once approved, a meet-and-greet is arranged to match the dog with the potential adopter.

Financial and Organizational Structure

NWBR is listed under the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) category for Animal-Related/Animal Protection and Welfare[2]. The organization relies primarily on donations and program services for funding, with contributions making up a significant portion of their revenue[2]. Key personnel and board members do not receive compensation for their roles[2].

Community Involvement and Fundraising

NWBR engages in various fundraising activities, including auctions and merchandise sales, to support their operations. These efforts help provide medical care and other necessary services for rescued Boxers before they are adopted into permanent homes. The organization encourages community participation and support through volunteer opportunities and donations, which are tax-deductible[4].
