Hi, we adopted Ollie on November 13th 2010. We just want to say Ollie is doing fine and we love him very much! We know little about his previous owners, only that there were children in the home, so for that reason would lke the family to know that Ollie is very happy and is doing well. I have sent pictures to NBR, none of which have being displayed on the website, so to the previous owners of Ollie, rest assured that he is very much loved and well looked after.

We lost our Zoey girl in Oct this year at only 6 years old. She was a rescue here in the States and we loved every minute of the almost 4 years she was with us. Just came across your website and when we eventually retired to the UK, we'll be contacting Boxer Dog Rescue No. England for sure. Keep up the good work!

Hello, i would just like to say what a brilliant job you do at boxer rescue...we have had 4 boxers over 20 odd years 2 are now in doggy heaven and we have Molly an all white 3and half year old, she is manny and is too clever for her own good...Alfie is 2 and half he is a tall lean brindled black faced boxer (the vet called this something but i forget what it was, but he said you don't see all black faced boxers that often boxer)...Alfie is so so loving. They both love their walks and the key to having a well behaved boxer is long walks...we will never have a 'normal' dog again...boxers are the only dog for us...wish i had more room as i would foster them...if i ever win the lotto i will buy a big enough house and land with it to foster them.
thankyou for the lovely calender, great pics and stories keep up the good the work

What a wonderful web-site and fantastic work you do!
We have a beautiful 5year old white boxer male (Winston) and would so love another. Currently living overseas but when we come back to UK I think we will be in touch!
Would love to adopt but also help out somehow.

I have fallen in love with every boxer on here. I am a boxer owner she is white with brindle left ear and brindle round her eyes her name is LADY she is 13yrs old in december 011 she has just being diagnosed with mouth cancer and it has smashed our world to pieces
Hi we had the same thing happen to us with our white boxer willow she was only 6 years old we where heart broken for over 18months over her but i went on to the site and threre was our next little cutie pie looking back at me. we have had Holly now for 16 months the time has flown, she is the most loveable dog ever her nature is so careing, everybody loves our Holly molly moo, so good luck with your search I am sure your next soul mate is there just waiting to be given a forever home by yourselves xxx

hi there,having just lost my gorgeous boy Bentley to a suspect brain tumourhe was only 7yrs old and has totally heartbroken our family,he was my shadow from dawn till dusk as we have horses and lots of acres ,it would be such a waste not to offer this wonderful life to another barmy boxer!!!, it was nice to come on here and read some of your stories. we still have Cilla, a boxer bitch whom we got 6months ago from a breeder,shes 4yrs,and has finished her life being a mum!! she settled in sooooo well with Bentley and truly misses him.... thanx 4 listening, i feel a tad better nw chatting to other boxer lovers!!!...RIP darling Bentley , mum xxxx

Well its coming up to the 1st anniversary of lossing our beautiful Jasmine to a tumour on her spleen and we still miss her every day. A kinder, friendlier boxer would be hard to find but we're going to give it a go...soon...Rescuing Jas was the best thing we ever did, she wasn't from BDRN but i think the next one will be. We'll be in touch soon BDRN, keep up the great work xxx

Very sad day for me, my ex and I have had to put our beautiful baby Milly to sleep this morning. She'd had a stroke but been poorly off and on for the past couple of weeks but vets couldn't put their finger on what was wrong. One consolation that we were both there together with her at the end of her life and have so many happy times to remember. She would have been 10 in June but you would think she was still a pup at times apart from the white around her eyes LOL. Sleep tight Milly - you'll always have a very special place in our hearts, no doubt you'll be running around with jess and buster now in doggie heaven.
Love you always
Lots of Love from mammy and daddy xxxx

Hi kirsteen thanks for the kind words ,when i read the other messages i feel lucky i had Duke for 11yrs and dont feel im alone when lossing our best friends ,its horrible coming home to a empty house , i will get another boxer and will try bdrne .

sadly lost my boxer dog DUKE 11yrs old brindle ,old age got him put to sleep ,the sadest day in my life im still not over it cant sleep and lost , i think i want another boxer ,but the pain of losing them is too much , need help or advice .
I can say that I know how you are feeling Bill because I lost my gorgeous white girl and best friend Kira last Summer at the age of eight and a half.
I truly thought I would never be able to have another boxer, the loss was so great and I was so devastated.
Then a beautiful brindle boy called Harley who I was fostering for BDRNE captured my heart and whilst I still think of Kira every single day, having Harley in my life is actually a huge help to me.
Run free and pain-free at Rainbow Bridge Duke...

No problem Kirsteen! It's priority to update the dog's needing homes. Hope Harley is making himself at home!

Hi Boxer Rescue, was wondering when the "Happy Endings" will be getting updated?
I'm sorry we are absolutely run off our feet - don't even have time to post dogs needing homes at the moment - but will put something up about Ollie as soon as I can...

Well another quick update after a mouth op peggy needed to have four teeth out a few were very infected she does have regular check ups but due to her age vets are very reluctant to anethatise her, her op went really well had teeth out and since she has been so well......So I can only asume now that maybe what was assumed was a brain tumor and seizures from that, looks like now it is more of a case of a really bad infection that could of made her pass out not have a seizure. She is as bright as a button, bad breath almost gone, no funny turns and an extremely happy boxer. YAY so we looking forward to having some good times ahead.

Happy belated new year all.
almost two weeks ago one of my Rabbits passed away, but before he passed away he was quite sick he had had a stroke so we wrapped little itsy up and put him in front of the fire. now Holly our beautiful white scatty boxer came to us last march and all six Rabbits came as a shock at first but she became used to them and would be there twice a day at feeding time and evey week helping me to change them sniffing and checking them as we went along. so when we brought Itsy in to keep him warm. Holly immediately lay down next to him and wrapped herself around him and stayed there till he passed away, It was amazing to watch she was so gentle and every now an again she would Gently lick his head. it so heart wrenching to watch.

Hiya everyone.
Just wanted to say what a brilliant website and organisation you are running. I had my boxer, Sally, till she died at 15 - I'll never forget that day - even though my parents bought her from a breeder (I think), if I wasn't allergic to animal fur and I owned my own home I would choose to adopt a boxer this time round.
The rehoming stories are bringing back memories of our Sal's antics and it seems that all boxers have a lot in common - water, warmth - fireplace, cooker and sunspots. Food - OURS! Barking at noisy things that moved - hoover, hairdryer and sweeping brush. Mastering the art of opening tubs, doors, a child's cast-iron security gate and the front gate. Chasing other animals - squirrels, cats and playing spider splat! Hating you wearing socks and gloves so Sal made it her duty to pull them off yet she loved licking the soap residue from between your toes when you'd had a bath. Telling you when she wanted to have fun, wanted a walk or when she just wanted attention (chin on knee, drag claw on back of hand or thigh, sit on your feet etc etc etc). Loved being fussed by kids in particular. Annoying dad when he was trying to fix the car!
Sally was very protective of me and my sister (3 years diff) when we were little, she used to sit underneath our cot (dinner table when we had meals) and stick her nose thru the bars should we even move. Later on she always knew when we were coming home from school etc cos she'd be waiting at the top of the stairs just for us to be the ones meeting her at the front door after bounding down the stairs! Oh, and hearing her backchat after being told off!
The breeder called her 'a star' - cos she had a star on her chest. Any other boxers have that?
We'd all love to have her back. Miss you Sal :**(
Keep it up Rescue! And I hope everyone here has as much fun, love and life as much as we did with our boxer...red with 4 white sox!
Luv, Max :-D

There is nothing in this world as marvellous as a boxer. I wish that each and every one of them will have someone to give them as much love as they give to us all.
I only wish I could adopt them all, but have to content myself with my lovely Brodie for the time being, until I can persuade his dad its time for him to have a brother or sister x
