My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a longtime shelter vol and rescue person in AR, and I was recently contacted by New Life Boxer Rescue (NLBR) to help with a Boxer we'd pulled from another facility. "Baxter" was horribly emaciated when he arrived in rescue, and another group contacted us for help -- someone with Boxer experience. We placed Baxter in a foster-to-adopt home, but that home ultimately decided they were not the right fit for his energy. Several people were interested in Baxter, but they also were not a match.
NLBR saw Baxter on social media and contacted us to offer assistance. They happened to have an open foster slot and were ready to help. After lots of "vetting" and conversations with this group, I knew that they would provide Baxter exactly what he needed -- in foster care, as well as with proper screening for his new forever home. They have great adoption policies and truly understand the needs of a Boxer, whether that's obedience/training needs, medical needs, or placement needs (like matching dogs of the opposite sex). We arranged a transfer using a screened long-distance transport service, and sent Baxter on his two-day journey to NJ. All along the way, NLBR's team kept in contact and ensured everything went smoothly.
Once Baxter arrived, the NLBR team continued to provide updates on how Baxter was settling in his foster home. His foster, Diane, also shared her love for this sweet boy -- something we had in common! (I'm also a longtime Boxer and Boxer rescue person, and I *adored* this goofball!)
Within a couple of weeks of Baxter's arrival in NJ, a previous NLBR adopter contacted them, looking for a male companion for their female Boxer. After re-screening of that home, NLBR set up a meet/greet between Baxter and his new family. It was a love match! Ever since, I've continued to get updates on sweet Baxter in his new home. He and his new "GF" are like an old married couple -- clearly two, much-loved peas in a pod! While sending a dog such a long distance gives one pause (paws!), this couldn't have worked out better. It was the right thing for Baxter, and I highly recommend NLBR.
