Boxer Welfare Scotland became a charity in 2005
Our founder Lorraine lives in Peterhead and has been helping rehome boxers for over 20 years. In 2005 there was a wee boxer who she called Lucy, who came to her in such a poor condition and was very very skinny. But, after a lot of loving care she became an amazing wee girl .
It was because of her that Boxer Welfare was born and the charity formed.
It was very hard in the beginning but slowly more and more people from all over Scotland wanted to help. Now 15 years on we have volunteers all over and we don’t use kennels. This means we rely on foster families to assess dogs that come into our care.
We are also very proud to be the ONLY charity in UK that supplies pet oxygen kits to the fire service.
