In the early 2000s, animal lover and advocate Lisa Hamilton founded a small rescue called “Boxers ‘N Birds Rescue.”  Being the hospital administrator for a premier North County veterinary hospital, she would often encounter people surrendering their pets for various medical reasons.  Having a strong fondness for exotic birds and the Boxer breed, she would often take these surrenders into her own care, provide the necessary medical care, and find them new forever homes – hence the name “Boxers ‘N Birds.”

Over the years the rescue gained many more volunteers and the number of animals being saved from year to year also grew.  The rescue formed into a 501(c)3 nonprofit and changed its name to “Last Chance at Life All Breed Rescue & Adoptions.”  While we still love the Boxer breed, we now take in canines of all breeds who are at risk of euthanasia at local shelters.  Our foster based rescue allows animals to recuperate and rehabilitate in the loving care of a foster home until their special forever home is found.
