TVBR is run by Jackie Drew as co-ordinator who has been re-homing dogs for over 40 years whilst the admin side is looked after by her partner,
Peter Gillies, who also keeps the website up to date.
Although based near Swindon in Wiltshire, we will home our rescued boxers in any area where it means that we can match the right dog with the
right home after we have done all of the necessary home checks which we normally do ourselves.
The rescue is run on a totally voluntary basis by Jackie and Pete and is funded purely by donations and by our own fundraising, e.g, car boots and
tombola’s etc because without these donations, we would not be able to help other boxers that may be in need.
As you may know, moving into a new home can be a very stressful time but for an animal, it is even more so because they don't know what's
happening to them.
To try and ease this stress, we always move our boxers during daylight hours to allow them time to familiarise them selves quickly with their new
surroundings.
We advise all new owners to give their new boxer several days to settle into the home before meeting other family members or friends and we do
stress that it is most important that they do not let them off the lead until they have had the time to know the sound of your voice.
We do urge you to please look at our information sheets about ALABAMA ROT and BLOAT and especially the email at the bottom of the "BLOAT"
sheet that proves that just a couple of minutes read and having the knowledge about “BLOAT” could save your pets life!
Thank you for taking the time to visit us,
Jackie Drew.
