About this shelter

Nor Cal Boxer Rescue in Milpitas, CA

Nor Cal Boxer Rescue is a boxer rescue based in Milpitas, California, in Santa Clara County, about 7 miles south of San Jose, with 18 other animal shelters and rescues also located in Santa Clara County. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built around the mission to "Leave No Boxer Behind," pulling boxers from local shelters—including those with urgent medical needs—and placing them into foster homes while they await adoption. Its programs include a "Growing Old with You" senior boxer initiative, developed in partnership with the Grey Muzzle Organization, which provides up to $1,000 in veterinary support to help families adopt or keep senior boxers. NCBR also cares for boxers with special needs, such as white and deaf boxers, and relies on foster homes, volunteers, sponsors, and donors to support its dogs through recovery, adoption, and lifelong care.
