2009 BRF Grant Recipients
Thanks to the generous support of countless Boxer lovers, the Boxer Rescue Foundation is awarding financial grants throughout the year as the need arises and funds become available. Rescue groups are reporting higher numbers due to the recession. Donations are down, too, so your support is most appreciated!
All Grants are awarded as a matter of grace and not as a matter of right, and are totally at the discretion of the Boxer Rescue Foundation Board of Directors. The Board considers many factors when considering a rescue group for a Grant, including how the group's rescue philosophy matches the philosophy of the Boxer Rescue Foundation.
BRF Grant money will be used for expenses that Boxer rescue groups face on a regular basis. The groups are required to submit receipts to show how they spent the Grant money.

Shirley Otradevec & Waldo Legacy Boxer Rescue - Texas Legacy Boxer Rescue's philosophy is to place Boxers in good homes as quickly as possible in order to reduce stress on the dog. One way they accomplish this is by being willing to approve out-of-area adoptions once all the requirements have been met. Good job! $500 |

Trent Gasbarra with Bernie & Sophie Boxer Luv Rescue - Arizona In addition to being one of the busiest Boxer rescues in the country, Boxer Luv has two extraordinary programs we would like to salute: the Twilight Program for seniors and the Hospice Program for Boxers with terminal illnesses. Boxers in these programs - like Bernie and Sophie - are true members of volunteer families who surround them with love, dignity and respect until the day they have to say goodbye. $500 |

Betsy Keplinger & Santa with Velma & Blizzard Central Kentucky Boxer Rescue Even though this group is located in Central Kentucky, volunteers help coordinate Boxer rescue efforts with at least six other Boxer rescue groups in four nearby states.
