Depending on the location of the foster home (generally towards Michigan) are you willing to help
transport the dog to one of our volunteers? What distance are you comfortable driving?

Do you understand that Great Lakes Boxer Rescue is a foster home based organization. In order for us to help each dog, we must have a foster family that matches up with their needs. This could mean that for dogs needing to be an only dog, it could take time to find a foster family. If GLBR is not able to secure a foster in a timely manner, do you agree to allow us to share this surrender form with other boxer rescues that we partner with? It is not a promise of being able to help, simply opening up more options.
