boxer welfare scotland
I volunteer for Boxer Welfare Scotland, a charity that rescues and rehomes boxers across Scotland. Alot of the boxers seen on this website are BWS rescue dogs.
Boxer Welfare Scotland was founded in January 2005 and received charity status as a boxer rescue on 3rd July 2005. Since then they have rescued and rehomed over 350 boxers through our adoption processes. BWS are here to rescue and care for all boxers who need our help in Scotland and to help them find a way to their new adopted families in the new forever homes they deserve.
Boxer Welfare Scotland hopes to promote responsible dog ownership. Offering guidance and advice to anyone seeking a little bit of help and reassurance. BWS ensure that all the dogs are vaccinated, seen by a vet and micro-chipped before re-homing. BWS also make sure that all our rehomed Boxers are neutered as soon as possible once they are in their new home, BWS covers this cost.
BWS does not discriminate on the age, medical condition, behaviour or history of a Boxer, they are here to support all our dogs and find them the best possible home and family to spend the rest of their lives with. In order for us to find the perfect home one of our trusted volunteers will carry out a homecheck and ask some relevant questions. By no means are they there to judge, we simply need to find your perfect Boxer. Once we have matched you with a suitable Boxer we will keep in contact with you through the settling in stage and one of our volunteers will carry out a follow up check to assess how your dog has settled in at a time that suits you.
