He’s sweet, loves to snuggle, has endless energy, and is living his best possible life. Bauer came to us from Puerto Rico and he’s the perfect combination of all of my boxers. Wrigley came in like a wrecking ball and we’ve not stopped laughing at her since the day she arrived. Kobe and Sophie passed away at 12 and 13 years of age, and we honored them by rescuing again. That girl shined so bright in every possible way. She’s the reason I encourage people to save a senior boxer. We rescued Sophie when she was six years old. He was my soul dog, if such a thing exists. He is the reason that I’m involved in boxer rescue today.
I rescued my first boxer, Kobe, almost 13 years ago. Something about the breed has always intrigued me. We lost him at 8 years old to a brain tumor. He LOVED to walk and every day he’d come and snort at me when he wanted to walk….he really had me wrapped around his little paw and could get me to do whatever he wanted! He became a certified therapy dog working with children and the elderly and was the best big brother for Zeena. I always believed he knew we saved him from the minute he came into our home and always seemed grateful. He was like having a 60-pound puppy that needed all the basic training, socialization, etc., that a puppy needs. Locked in a basement and neglected for much of the 3 years of his life. She needed another dog and in came Tyson. One of the issues that she had was severe separation anxiety. She had EVERY problem a Boxer dog could have but we loved her so, so much. We ‘rescued’ our first Boxer Zeena from a backyard breeder….before we knew what a backyard breeder was. As an adult when I decided that I wanted a dog in my life, I decided that it should definitely be another Boxer……and boy was I right! Thus began my journey into rescue.
People in the neighborhood would come by to play with him and I remember I always felt safe while he was around. This page is updated daily as information becomes available.A little girl my family had a Boxer. Filling out an APPLICATION is the fastest way to meet and learn more about a dog that interests you. To learn more about a dog, please click on his or her picture. Consider what RESCUE really is, and please take a second look at the dogs outside of your original criteria. Maybe they are a bit older then you may think you want, or the wrong color, or have a bad picture that doesn’t show their true beauty, but they are all beautiful. So we ask you to take a second look at all the dogs on this page. Would people overlook your dog because of their age or color? Or maybe you have not successfully trained your current dog to be “good with kids, dogs, cats, etc.”, limiting their appeal to someone looking to adopt a dog. But many dogs, if given the right training and time, can fit into many complicated households.Īnd consider the following -what would happen to your own dogs, if for some reason you needed rescue to take your dog, or worse, your dog became a stray and ended up in rescue. What that means is that if most of the adoption applications we get are for males, under two years old, flashy fawn, and good with kids, dogs, cats, etc., then what do we do with all our three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen year olds? And what do we do with all the white and brindle dogs? Or the males and females that don’t meet your wish list? Granted we try to do our best to match the “good with kids, dogs, cats, etc. Rescue is taking in a dog in need, no matter what age, sex, color, cuteness, etc. If you are interested in adding a new member to your family, and have decided to rescue a boxer, please take a minute to understand what rescue is.
