Forward from the head of the Society:  The Northern Ireland Boxer Rescue Society was formed on 12th October 1996 by a group of concerned boxer owners and breeders.  Our aim is to help the welfare of the Boxer Breed - specifically those that through no fault of their own become homeless, whether this occurs due to a change in the owner’s circumstances or because they have been callously abused or abandoned.

All dogs being re-homed are required to be neutered and vaccinated as a condition of adoption and we do enforce this carefully. Anyone wishing to re home a boxer from us will be thoroughly home checked, and decisions regarding re-homing, will be made by our committee.

We are not for profit, and any funds that we receive go directly to rescue and the boxers that we care for. We follow up every dog that we home.  They are visited by us after 6-8 weeks in their new home and thereafter keep constant contact for the rest of the boxer’s life.

All the people on our list have been "home checked" and approved by our committee members who complete a detailed questionnaire to help us select the right home for a particular dog.

As with all rescue organisations, we depend on donations through car boot sales, raffle tickets and the like, to help us meet the ongoing kennel and veterinary fees.

Please remember, no donation is ever too small, we were delighted to hear from Pegasus AC when they decided to make Northern Ireland Boxer Rescue this year’s recipient of their Charity Boxing Day Fun Run.  Visit www.niboxerrescue.co.uk for more information.

In October last year Shirley Park, a member of Pegasus AC contacted the Society about adopting one of the dogs on the site after going through the home check process it happened that 'MAX' and the Park family were a great match, an MAX on the 12th of December last year.

Pegasus AC would like to encourage everyone to come out and enjoy this Boxing Day Event and would love to make it a family affair with only £10 per family (2 adults and up to 4 children) for the 3 mile walk / run or £3 per person, and £5 for the 4.5 mile run.  All well behaved family pets are welcome to accompany their owners for £2 and there will be mulled wine and juice for after the event.  So get down to Rugby Avenue, Coleraine before 10.45 for the 11.00 start on Boxing Day and work off all the turkey from Christmas day..!
