Washington Boxer Rescue... Helping boxer kids find forever homes

About Us

  • WA BOXER RESCUE is a non-profit corporation located in Washington State, USA. We work with several reputable dog clubs throughout the surrounding states to insure the safe and proper placement of our boxers in rescue. The founder of this organization, Terrie McCanse, is the owner of Blasia's Boxers and has over 25 years of experience with this breed. Terrie has taught classes for all breed as well and also trained boxers in conformation, obedience, agility, therapy & specializes in many types of behavior problems.. Many years of working with dogs and their owners, really helps to evaluate and work with every boxerkid that comes into this program, waiting for the right forever home. She has worked as a grief counselor with several hundred people over the years that have too or already have - said goodbye to their beloved pet. For over 20 years in veterinary medicine, taking this wonderful experience with her to assist in the recovery and rehabilitation of these wonderful boxers, as well. Terrie has dedicated her life in helping the boxers that are without a home, on their journey to a new family that will provide them the love and care they deserve. These boxers are released to this organization for many reasons - military transfer, family death, moving, illness, divorce, incompatibility w/other pets - and unsociability due to being left alone, and untrained by the original owners.

  • WA BOXER RESCUE has started a new program that will address the many behaviors and problems that we face when these boxers are surrendered to this rescue. And this allows us to follow a boxer after they are adopted and work directly with that adopter, as long as necessary in obedience classes or privately to insure they are acclimated properly and never have to leave their new home. You always will have a phone number and email to contact us at any time to answer questions about your adopted boxer, and to help you through the years to follow, with boarding, special needs or even when it is time to say goodbye to your precious boxer friend.. We will be there too, as they leave for the Rainbow Bridge with grace.

  • WA Boxer Rescue has 5 directors on this board and you will find their emails on the contact page. WE are very proud to have another wonderful, well known boxer trainer and behaviorist working in this program to insure we can meet the needs of our boxers in rescue across the state. Lillian Sugahara Jesse, owner of BoxerBrains & fellow member of PNWBC, is located in the Seattle area, and is a representative for WBR. We are now able to better serve our applicants for adoption & families that need to surrender their boxers, respectfully in person. Lillian teaches class twice a week in Tukwila, WA.. - and works with every boxer in this rescue as a foster mom, behaviorist and directly with you in person to answer all your questions before, during & after adoption.
