NewsLink - however, the winner is a Mrs Crisp, Bedfordshire
- the balloon was found in Hebdon Bridge, West Yorkshire.

We
consist of a small number of people who voluntarily give
their time to rehoming those Boxers who, through no fault of
their own, have to find a new family. We also try to help
with general advice on the Boxer breed and any problems
which may arise.
We
cover a very wide catchment area ranging from Kent to
Hampshire, from the South Coast to Bucks, Beds,
Northampton, Herts, Suffolk, Essex etc as well as Inner
and Outer London. We also liaise with other Boxer
Rescue groups across the country and all the various
Animal Welfare groups within our area.

|
Our
work consists
of booking in and vetting homes available, taking details
of dogs to be relocated, transporting Boxers from home to
home and running a back up service when required. Although
we aim to place dogs directly from one home to another, it
is sometimes necessary to invoke the use of kennels on a
mainly temporary basis and only rarely on a long time
scheme. For the latter, where there is difficulty in rehoming a dog, we operate a Sponsor Scheme, where
supporters can sponsor a dog of their choice.
For
more Info on sponsoring a dog please contact us
using our
enquiry form. Thank you |

We also aim to
promote responsible Boxer ownership by holding training
sessions, mainly in basic obedience, together with fun
classes for all, at regular intervals, near
St.Albans,
Hertfordshire.
Started
primarily for the rehomed Boxer these sessions are now
open to all Boxers and their owners, and usually provide a
very entertaining afternoon.
As you can imagine, all these activities run away with
the finances - telephone bills, petrol, kennelling fees and very often
vets' bills. We are a registered charity and rely very heavily
indeed upon the donations for rehomed boxers and money raising events
organised by the group and their friends - such as exemption shows,
raffles, tombolas, stalls, sponsored events etc. but membership
subscriptions play a major role and we are always delighted to welcome new
members - it is one way as a boxer lover that you can surely help the
breed that you love. In return you will receive two "Newslinks" a
year giving you a news of forthcoming events, informative articles on the
breed, and stories about the boxers that you have helped to rehome.
If you feel you have the odd hour to spare and would like to become
involved we will always find you a job - from vetting homes and
transporting dogs, to the odd plate of cakes for the next social event.
More information about Home Counties Boxer Welfare may be found on our
other pages and we welcome enquiries by telephone, e-mail or by using the
Enquiry Form.
