We are thrilled to have Carolina Boxer rescue joining us for another Spring Fling! This amazing rescue has joined us for at least SIX Spring Flings in the past, and we can't wait to meet the Boxers they bring this time! Their volunteers love meeting new businesses and building new relationships, so be sure to stop by their booth and say hi!
Carolina Boxer Rescue is a refuge for boxers who find themselves abandoned. Their rescue promises them safety, wellness, and a second chance. CBR does this with a sense of community, compassion, and education, so their adopted boxers will have a lasting relationship with their forever families.
Established in 2001 by three NC natives, Carolina Boxer Rescue works to help boxers (and boxer mixes) as often as possible, regardless of age, medical status, or health condition, across Virginia, North and South Carolina and parts of Georgia. They are a foster-based rescue, which means all their dogs are in foster homes across their service area.
Carolina Boxer Rescue was founded in 2001 to save abused and abandoned boxers. 2001 meant operating a rescue with Polaroids and fax machines. They are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and have saved countless boxers in that time. Technology is a huge part of their rescue now, along with dedicated volunteers and supporters who love the breed and work to save as many boxers as possible.
CBR saved 280 boxers in 2025. 280 boxers received medical care and loving homes, sometimes for the first time. Their adoption, foster and volunteer applications increased across the state as well. Rescue takes a village and this group has an amazing one!
In addition to dogs available for adoption, they also have hospice foster homes, where dogs with advanced medical conditions receive the love and care they need until it's time for them to cross the rainbow bridge.
CBR - saving the nubs since 2001!! Our mission is to provide a loving home and medical care to all boxers, from puppies to seniors to hospice care.
If you want to help out, they are always in need of foster homes as well as people to transport boxers from shelters to their foster homes. Donations are another great way to contribute if you don't have the time for fostering or transporting dogs. Learn more about fostering, here!
You can read about all the dogs available from Carolina Boxer Rescue on their website, or on their social media channels: Facebook and Instagram.
You won't want to miss visiting the boxers and your chance to browse their t-shirts, decals, and brochures at Spring Fling 2026 on April 26!
