    About Carolina Boxer Rescue

    Carolina Boxer Rescue (CBR) is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming boxers in need throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Our foster homes play a critical role in saving these dogs by providing them with love, care, and stability while they await their forever families.

    Role & Responsibilities

    As a foster home volunteer, you will:

    • Provide a safe, loving, and stable environment for a rescued boxer.
    • Offer basic training, socialization, and reinforcement of good behavior.
    • Ensure the dog receives necessary veterinary care (CBR covers vet costs).
    • Transport the foster dog to vet appointments, meet-and-greets, and adoption events.
    • Communicate regularly with CBR and provide updates on the dog’s progress.
    • Help screen potential adopters by providing insights into the dog’s personality and needs.

    Requirements

    • Must be at least 21 years old.
    • Have a safe and secure home environment.
    • Be willing to provide food, toys, and basic supplies (CBR can assist if needed).
    • Have reliable transportation for vet visits and events.
    • Ability to commit to fostering for at least 2-4 weeks (or longer, if possible).
    • Experience with dogs is a plus, but not required—CBR offers support and guidance.

    Why Foster?

    • You’ll directly save a life and help a boxer in need.
    • Fostering is incredibly rewarding and prepares dogs for their forever homes.
    • CBR provides support, training resources, and covers veterinary expenses.
