    Austin Boxer Rescue, located in Austin Texas, is a non-profit organization that branched off from Lone Star Boxer Rescue of Houston. ABR is made up entirely of volunteers who are dedicated to removing dogs from bad situations and placing them into loving permanent homes. We receive dogs from shelters, owners, and dogs found as strays and our volunteers take them into their homes. We do not have a shelter or a facility. Our rescued dogs are rehabilitated medically, socialized and are taught basic manners. We service Austin, San Antonio, Temple, and the surrounding areas. FEATURED EVENTS
Old Pecan Street Festival We will most likely be at our usual spot in front of Buffalo Billards at 6th and Brazos.

OUR FEATURED DOGSBelow are some of our featured dogs for adoption, you can see all of our dogs available on our Adoption Page. Champ UPDATE: We are very excited to let everyone know that Champ has not lost use of his one back leg and he is making excellent progress in his new foster home. Champ went to a new foster home just before he had to have his leg amputated. It was a difficult process leading up to the surgery, but we’re convinced that it was more than necessary. He has had his struggles but it’s as if he didn’t lose a leg at all! He runs and plays with his foster family and loves to roll over and bat his legs...Read More
Deuce & Roxie Cozy on up and meet Deuce and Roxie! This handsome pair originally came to Austin Boxer Rescue a little over 4 years ago. Although they hadn’t found each other yet, they soon became a couple. As a puppy, Roxie was among ABR’s first foster dogs and because of her adorable face, natural tail, and basic boxer charm, soon became adopted. A few months later, her adoptive family took in another ABR dog as a playmate for Roxie - Deuce - who had entered the ABR program after a puppy mill in Brownwood got raided. Unfortunately, they find themselves back with...Read More
Victor & Valerie Victor and Valerie are two dogs that came to us through Animal Care Services (ACS) in San Antonio. They are about 3 years old and were surrendered by their owner to ACS apparently as a consequence of a divorce. They had been roaming freely on her property the majority of their lives. These dogs have been together their entire lives and have only had each other to rely on. They are very co-dependent, so they will need to be adopted out together. Victor is the leader, and Valerie follows him everywhere and gets quite nervous when Victor is out of...Read More
Joe Joe is a very sweet 4-year brindle boxer that has lived a very sad life up to this point. His life consisted of being chained up in his back yard with his sister Joleene. His owner did not want him anymore, and from what we gather from the neighbors and other family members, the owner had moved away and left the dogs. There was another person living in the home where the dogs were left, but he was not the owner and was not taking any responsibility for the dogs. We received a phone call from the neighbors and another...Read More
Essie UPDATE-Essie had a serum pocket (or build up of fluid) in her hip after her first surgery. She was in excruciating pain but finally found some relief when the fluid was drained. Her leg has swollen up 2-3 times the normal size and she’s been running a temperature. She’s on two different antibiotics and around the clock pain medication. So far she has not been able to use the operative leg but we hopeful that once the swelling goes down she will be able to use it more. Please stay tuned for updates on poor Essie.
Essie is a very...Read More
