We are 17!
Seventeen years ago, Atlanta Boxer Rescue was just an idea—a hope that we could make things better for a few Boxers in need. As of June 14th, 2025, we've rescued 2,133 Boxers... and every single one had a story, because we said yes.
We say yes to the seniors, the broken, the heartworm positive, the overlooked. We say yes when it's messy, urgent, expensive, or hard.
And we've never said yes alone. Every foster, every adopter, every donor, every volunteer—you have helped build this rescue from a dream into a lifeline.
If ABR has ever touched your life—or if you've followed along and cheered from afar—we'd love for you to celebrate with us. In honor of 17 amazing years, consider giving $17 to help us keep saying Yes.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. We are not just a rescue. We are a team and we couldn't do it without you!
Here's to the next 17 years.

Welcome to Atlanta Boxer Rescue!
We are a volunteer-driven organization committed to rescuing and finding forever homes for Boxers in the greater Atlanta area. In addition to our rescue efforts, we provide support and education to Boxer owners. Our work is funded through adoption fees, fundraisers, and generous donations from our supporters. Atlanta Boxer Rescue, Inc., is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
If you are interested in adopting a Boxer in Atlanta, you've come to the right place. Take a moment to learn about the Boxer breed, including some of its history. When you are ready to move forward, familiarize yourself with everything you need to know before you adopt. Some Frequently Asked Questions are answered on our site as well. We strive to support your adoption to make it a success for you and your new Boxer friend.
All of our Boxers have had an intake exam with a veterinarian, have been spayed or neutered, and brought up-to-date on vaccinations and heartworm preventative.
We are always looking for great volunteers! If you are interested in being a foster home for a Boxer in need, thank you! The number of Boxers that we can save depends on the number of willing volunteers like you. Please complete our Foster Application or contact us for more information.
We have a lot of resources to help you. Sign up for our newsletter, contact us about any questions or concerns you might have, or seek comfort if you've lost your Boxer friend.
We can't do this without you, so please consider a donation or a purchase from the ABR Store!
Thanks!
