We are a small boxer rescue group with a mission to rescue boxers in need, get them fully vetted, and find their forever homes. www.BoxerRescueOfTexarkana.com. We need foster homes to help us. We rescue boxers from kill shelters, chained in yards, dumped in the country, abused, emaciated and owner surrender boxers. We do not have a facility. All of our boxers are in foster homes living with families until they get adopted. We operate on our money and donations to pay vetting and expenses, so we do charge an adoption fee.

We are a non-profit organization created in response to the lack of active rescue organizations in the East TX area. Our Board encompasses 25 years of experience. Our focus is on area City shelters to decrease euthanasia and increase adoption rates of their shelter population.

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

MarrVelous Pet Rescues & Adoptions (MPR) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation officially formed in 2007 out of the love of animals shared by its founding members. Our mission is to unite homeless pets with loving homes and families. The organization is comprised of a "virtual shelter" based out of Marr Properties in Key Largo, Florida. This virtual shelter is a local network of foster families who are dedicated to take in, care for and if needed, rehabilitate or socialize animals in need until they are ready to be placed in permanent loving forever homes. Funding for these services comes solely from donations, which are fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Animals we adopt out often come to us having been abandoned or relinquished. Some may have injuries, health issues or other medical needs requiring veterinary care, antibiotics or other medications. If no medical history is available, a wellness exam is done, vaccines administered and preventive medications are started. Occasionally there will be behavioral or emotional issues that need to be addressed - perhaps the pet has been neglected or abused and needs to re-learn to trust. And sometimes the animals who come to our care are perfectly happy, healthy, fully trained and respectable little souls who, through no fault of their own, are suddently in need of a new home. The stories are plentiful and the needs are vast. Our foster families, with the assistance of loca veterinarians, take great care in making sure these needs are met. Funding for these services and needs come soley from donations. If you are interested in becoming a foster family for MPR, go to our website and complete an application. Someone will contact you to discuss what it takes to be a foster host family. Learn the rewards that come from lending a hand.

I am a 53 year old woman who lost my Hoover to a tragic accident and couldn't get any help during his search from any locals or shelters. I vowed this would never happen to anyone else. Started with fostering and have owned my own rescue for almost 3 years. I take in any and all breeds and can house between 30 and 60, depending on size. I love to help pregnant dogs.

I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been in the profession since 1995. I have a huge passion for helping animals in need, helping control the pet population by spaying or neutering and educating the public about animal related issues

We are a small group of volunteers whose goal is to save the lives of homeless dogs suffering in high-kill shelters.

We strive to match each dog with the right family after the dog has been observed in a foster home.
