Volunteering and giving back to boxers in need is something that Waverley and I are passionate about and something that we truly enjoy. Throughout the years Waverley and I have done countless home visits for potential adoptive homes, evaluations of resident pups for families that want to adopt and meet and greets with pups that are coming into the program, pet awareness days promoting the rescue and fundraising events. I brought Waverley home in April of 2011 and we started volunteering for the rescue the following year when she was old enough to meet and evaluate pups coming into the rescue and be a boxer ambassador for the rescue. At the time, The Boxer Rescue did not have any puppies for adoption and I was determined to become a fur mom to a puppy, but I knew The Boxer Rescue was an organization I wanted to become a part of. They prided themselves at finding the right fit, to make the pup’s transition to a new family as seamless as possible. Their dedication to finding the right home for pups in the program who were facing uncertainty was impressive to me. The rescue really was all about the dogs and their well being. I came across The Boxer Rescue and was impressed with the rescue and what they were all about. Working with The Boxer Rescue is my way of honoring my own boxers who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.ĭirector of I decided I wanted to become a fur mom I started researching rescues. I take great pride in knowing that I play a small part in ensuring these dogs find their happily ever after. Sometimes,they find themselves in the “wrong” home, through no fault of their own. I rescue because there is a need to find homes for this amazing breed. 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.
