R&R Boxer Rescue is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing a life line to dogs at imminent risk of euthanasia at one of our many high kill shelters here in Southern California. These are the seniors, the special medical needs and those that the shelter has deemed rescue only for “behavior.” The latter are most often euthanized as they are labeled dog aggressive or human aggressive. In our experience the vast majority of these dogs are either just scared in the stressful crowded kill shelter environment or have not been properly socialized with other dogs. In all cases these dogs were failed by humans on at least one level and deserve a chance to be the dog they were born to be. As the name suggests, we are primarily a Boxer rescue, but not exclusively.

Our organization is named after the beloved racehorse, Ferdinand. Despite winning prestigious races such as the Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup Classic and being named the Horse of the Year in 1987, Ferdinand met his fate at a Japanese slaughterhouse after a lackluster career as a stud. In response to this tragedy, it brought forward renewed interest in Thoroughbred aftercare to prevent other ex-racehorses from joining Ferdinand in the slaughter pipeline.
