Across America Boxer Rescue

Across America Boxer Rescue is a nonprofit organization based in the United States, dedicated to rescuing and rehoming Boxer dogs nationwide. Established as a 501(c)3 organization, it operates primarily through a network of volunteer foster homes. The rescue's mission is to assist Boxers in need, whether they are in shelters, being sold by puppy mills, or facing other challenging situations.

History and Operations

Founded with a commitment to "Rescuing Without Borders," this organization has grown to cover over 30 states in the U.S. Its volunteer base extends across the Midwest, Southeast, and West Coast, reflecting its dedication to supporting Boxers regardless of their location.

Across America Boxer Rescue focuses on a foster home-based model, where volunteer families provide temporary care, love, and support to the dogs. This approach allows the organization to effectively match rescued Boxers with suitable adoptive families, achieving a notable 95% success rate in adoptions.

Programs and Initiatives

The organization supports a range of Boxer needs, from seniors and medical cases to those with behavioral issues. A key program is the "Forever Foster" initiative, which provides permanent foster care for dogs deemed unadoptable due to age, medical conditions, or other factors. Across America Boxer Rescue covers all vetting, medical, and living expenses for these dogs.

In addition to direct rescue efforts, the organization collaborates with other animal rescues across the country to maximize impact. This collaborative approach allows them to help more Boxers and provide resources such as transport, foster, and adoption support.

Financial Support and Funding

Across America Boxer Rescue is dependent on donations and fundraising events to sustain its operations. All donations are channeled directly into dog care, including medical expenses, food, and special diets. The organization strives to keep administrative costs low, ensuring that resources are maximized for the benefit of the dogs.

As a tax-deductible charity, donations to Across America Boxer Rescue are eligible for tax benefits. The organization is also enrolled in various charitable programs that support its mission.

Additionally, it is a member of the BISSELL Partner for Pets program, which helps raise funds for the organization through pet product sales.
