Boykin Spaniel Rescue, Inc. is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of at-risk, purebred, Boykin Spaniels.

Rescue Success Story of the Week!

What We Do.

Rescue

Where do the dogs come from?  Some are strays, some are found in shelters. And still others are owner surrenders. We are fortunate to have the support of the Boykin community, so that we can care for every little brown dog that needs us.  If you need to rehome your dog, or are aware of an at-risk Boykin Spaniel, click here.

Rehabilitate

BSR is fortunate to have over 300 volunteers, many of whom are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the rehabilitation of our dogs.  Dogs are evaluated for a minimum of two (2) weeks.  This process includes evaluation for temperament, level of training and special skills.  If the dog requires medical care and rehabilitation, the dog can remain in our care for months, until such time that it is made available for adoption. We strive to allow each of our dogs to "Maximize their Potential".  To learn more, click here.

Rehome

Once a dog is made available for adoption, our foster's role is to evaluate each adoption applicant interested in the dog, and select the one that best meets the needs of the dog.  Our ultimate goal is that each dog and family is truly a forever match! 

As our mission states, all of our intakes are considered "at-risk;" however, some are also deemed special needs dogs.  Special needs dogs are those that will need extensive, long-term specialized care, often for the duration of their lives, but are not  deemed unadoptable as with Permanent Foster Care dogs.

Caring for the most vulnerable.

Permanent Foster Care Program 

BSR's PFC Program allows us to provide long-term care for dogs who, for health and sometimes behavioral reasons, are not adoptable. Each dog lives in a home of their own, with their foster families, and are supported by BSR, and generous donors, for the rest of their lives. To read about our PFC's, click here.

Educational Resources

BSR will be sharing educational information that is pertinent to our community.  To read/view the educational materials, click here.

We are carefully monitoring the Covid-19 updates from the resources at the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). This is an ever-evolving situation, and we will be updating our plan as necessary. The well-being of our volunteers and our dogs in care are of top priority. We will continue to conduct all BSR affiliated activities such as intaking of dogs, transporting of dogs, and veterinary visits in accordance with the local and state Stay at Home orders and the recommendations of the CDC regarding social distancing and hygiene.
