| Welcome to Black Hills Boxer Rescue |
| We are located in the beautiful Black Hills of Rapid City, South Dakota. We do not have a facility, all of our rescue dogs live in foster homes with families and their pets. This allows us to work with and take care of every need the boxer has. This also enables us to help match you with the right boxer. BHBR is dedicated to preserving the breed as the AKC intended it to be. Our part in preserving the integrity of well bred boxers is to spay/neuter every boxer that comes into rescue. This ensures that any conformation, temperament or health issues, will not be passed on from any dog once it enters our program. Most importantly, we're battling the over population of this breed. In the United States over 3 million companion animals are euthanized every year. This includes boxers and other purebreds. Boxers from reputable breeders will have been health tested and certified back into the lineage. They spend a lot of money to certify their breeding dogs have no generational history of disease of the heart, eyes, hips or other congenital issues prone to our beloved breed. They also do not breed any dog that has not been proven in the ring to be of proper temperament and conformation. They will happily provide you with all of the above documents. If your breeder does not provide the above when breeding their litters, they are part of the problem. They claim to love the breed and then use dangerous or unhealthy dogs for breeding. It has to stop and only YOU can stop it. Don't purchase from this type of breeder or from pet stores. If someone is set up selling pups in a parking lot or on a street corner this is NOT a reputable breeder! Your cute puppy could grow into a dangerous or unhealthy adult dog. Congratulations to the states that are boldly passing anti-puppymill laws!!! |

| This Is Where Your Puppies Are Coming From Rapid City |
| This is Angel. She is nine years old and was surrendered by a local puppymill because Angel had a deadly infection and the breeder didn't want to put any money into her. Angel has been bred nearly to DEATH. She has blue coating over one eye from an old wound that wasn't treated. She is emaciated, her coat is dry, long, gross, full of dandruff, itchy, straw was stuck to her rear, she had an infected uterus called Pyometra. Click on her name to see pictures and read her story.

| This Kind Of Neglect Is All Around Us |
| Hope gave birth to a litter of six puppies. According to her owner, he did not provide any food for the pups after Hope weaned them. Four of the puppies died of starvation. He brought Hope and the two barely surviving pups to a Nebraska shelter because he couldn't stand to watch the other two die. These pictures are of the pups the day they were brought in, barely alive. Their paw pads are burned bright red and need burn medication applied daily. They were immediately put on IV fluids and antibiotics. They did begin to eat dry dog food and started to bark and play within a couple of days. Hope has a deep gash on her side from her halter that has caused an infection. She too is on antibiotics. Hope is such a dark brindle, she appears black and white. She was terrified of being in a shelter, didn't know what to do with a blanket and was utterly traumatized, so we offered to take the three-some. We have a long road ahead of us and could use any help offered. They will all need full vetting when they are well enough. |
