Rescue Success of the Week!
What We Do.
Rescue
Permanent Foster Care ProgramWhere 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 volunteer's role is to evaluate each dog and then to place the dog in their forever home. Our ultimate goal is that each dog and family is truly a forever match. To learn more about adopting from BSR, click here.

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.

Little Brown Journeys
Many of the dogs which come in to BSR's care require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. Some do well enough that they are adopted; others remain in our PFC Program for the rest of their lives. Please follow along as our fosters keep us up-to-date on their progress! Click here for more!

Boykin Spaniel Rescue, Inc. is aware of new cases of the H3N2 in the Southeast. We are recommending that all fosters and transporters speak with their veterinarian and take their veterinarians recommendations prior to transporting and/or fostering a dog. In many/most cases, BSR has very little background on the dogs coming into care so precaution should be taken for other dogs currently in the home.
