About this shelter

MustLuvBoxers Rescue in Stanwood, WA

Holly Adams founded MustLuvBoxers Rescue in 2013 after transforming an online forum dedicated to her favorite dog breed into a non-profit organization focused on rescuing Boxer dogs along the West Coast. Under her guidance, the rescue saved 58 dogs in 2014, 66 in 2015, and has consistently rescued over 100 dogs each year since then. As the president of the rescue, Holly leads a team of more than 250 volunteers and oversees daily operations. She is responsible for all aspects of animal intake, including collaborating with shelters and individuals who need to surrender dogs, coordinating transportation for incoming dogs, and matching them with safe and loving foster homes. Holly is also actively involved in the adoption process, where she reviews applications, interviews potential adopters, and arranges home checks prior to finalizing adoptions. In addition to her work with MustLuvBoxers Rescue, Holly is a physical therapy assistant, where she helps patients regain mobility. In her free time, she enjoys taking her dogs, Piper and Stevie, for runs at the beach.
