We are asking for your support and prayers!

This is Oscar. He is about 6 months old and is currently hospitalized at the Roadrunner Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital in Algodones. As you can see from his pictures that his condition is critical. We rescued Oscar through a concerned animal lover who found him on the roadside; weak, emaciated, dehydrated and vomiting. He was admitted today (3/23) with a fever and has been diagnosed with parvovirus. Most parvo deaths occur within 48 to 72 hours following the onset of clinical signs. His survival will be determined in the the next 72 hours at the Roadrunner Hospital, the cost of which could be upwards of $5,000.00. If you’d like to help, please press the donate button below.

We do know that Oscar is a fighter and still has so much love in his heart for his caregivers!

Mission Statement

Boxer Rescue of Albuquerque, Inc., is a non-profit, tax-deductible 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to the medical treatment, rehabilitation and permanent placement of homeless Boxers in loving homes throughout New Mexico.

Our organization has been in existence since 1995 and has found loving homes for hundreds of Boxers.

Our goal is to care for and to be a voice for those Boxers that have been forsaken for whatever reason and to find loving, nurturing forever homes.

Who We Are and What We Do

We are dedicated volunteers that open our homes to abandoned, neglected, and injured Boxers. We are an “in-home” rescue and do not operate a brick and mortar kennel facility. Our rescued Boxers are placed in temporary “foster homes” which allows us to learn about their needs, personality and temperament. We can then communicate those needs to our prospective adopters to establish a baseline that will ultimately help us determine adopter/Boxer compatibility.

Most of our volunteers have full time jobs but find the time to schedule and transport our rescued Boxers to local veterinary clinics. Our volunteers review applications and perform home visits. Our volunteers transport surrendered and rescued Boxers around New Mexico. Our volunteers also spend many days and nights in our local veterinary emergency clinics.

Our volunteers face death for those Boxers that have been in our hospice care. Our volunteers also attend our adoption events twice a month. Bottom Line: Our volunteers are instrumental in the journey of our rescued boxers and we could not do what we do without their support and dedication. Every one of our volunteers plays a very important part in a rescued Boxer’s “happily ever after”.
