What We Do

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.
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.
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.

BSR™'s Julia Horner 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.
BSR™ will be sharing educational information that is pertinent to our community.  To read/view the educational materials, click here.
We are so very grateful to all the volunteers who have dedicated thousands of hours to rescue, rehabilitate and find forever homes for hundreds of dogs that have been in BSR™'s care.  Click here to read some of the success stories.
