SB861- a bill that the PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA were NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON - has been passed by the state legislature and signed into law by the governor on October 7, 2005.
Home owners are faced with loosing their home or their dog....
Allstate, Allied and State Farm Insurance Companies have taken a stand and will no longer insure those owning 1 of 10 different breeds of dogs anticipating enactment of SB 861 on January 1, 2006.
List of Breeds That Are Endangered by SB861
Akitas, American Bulldogs, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Border Collies, Boxers, Bull Terriers, Chihuahuas, Chow Chows, Dalmatians, Daschunds, Doberman Pinschers, English Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Jack Russell Terriers, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers, Malinois, Pomeranians, Presa Canarios, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Rottweilers, Saint Bernards, Siberian Huskies, Staffordshire Bull Terriers ... and if this breed discrimination is allowed to continue, more and more breeds will be targeted.

BABR is desperately seeking foster homes and people interested in volunteering their time helping with data entry.
We are a non-profit organization with current 501(c)3 status, any donations are tax-deductible.
If you are interested in a boxer from BRLA, or have a specific dog in mind, let us know, most likely we are planning a trip and can request specific boxers (age, color, sex, etc.). Visit BRLA!
Founded in 1984, BABR runs solely by volunteers, operating by private donations. BABR is an affiliate of Boxer Rescue of Los Angeles Fund, Inc. We provide necessary medical attention, temporary housing, training, and a warm loving environment for all the boxers in our care awaiting a loving home of their own.
Interested in adopting, contact us to set up an appointment to visit our boxers! The adoption process involves an initial verbal interview, an application which is discussed with one or more BABR representatives in order to determine the most appropriate match for your family. This process is completed with an adoption agreement. A donation is required to help cover necessary expenses.
All the boxers in our care are fostered by volunteers, you may make an appointment to see them. We do not kennel, the dogs live in a loving temporary home and are shown by appointment only.
