What
does a Rescue Boxer cost Us?
We are a nonprofit
organization that cares for the boxers that others have not been able to do
for various reasons. Our dogs come to us from many different and sometimes
difficult situations. It is our obligation to them to get them back on their
feet and ready to face the rest of their lives in loving homes. It is not
an inexpensive endeavor to do this. We rely heavily on donations and our adoption
fees to cover the costs that can and do arise. From the chart below, you can
get an idea as to what we spend ON EACH AND EVERY DOG that comes through
our doors.

These are just the
everyday expenses our rescues incur.
We get many dogs with mange, eye, ear or respiratory infections.
A good number of dogs also will have internal parasites that may take a number
of treatments to clear up.
