Boxer Dog Rescue
Northern England

Last Updated: 26th June 2009

If you are interested in any of the dogs listed on this page, please make sure you read our rehoming policies before applying to adopt.

Some dogs need that extra special home with people who will understand their difficulties and offer them extra support.  These dogs are looking for that special place to call their forever home - could that be your home?

Gemma is back with us through absolutely no fault of her own. This gorgeous red girl with a toothy grin is four and needs a home with experienced owners. She has come on really well since she first came into Rescue though we feel would still be better as an only dog as she can be unpredictable with other dogs. We'd also prefer her to be with older children, though she has been in foster with younger children recently and has been fine with them.

It's time the lovely Gemma was settled with a family who will appreciate her and give her the love and treatment she deserves. If you think you can offer her a forever home, please fill in our application to adopt form http://www.boxerdogrescue.co.uk/applytoadopt.htm.

This beautiful boy has sadly just lost his dad. His extended family would love to keep him but they have other dogs and commitments and of course are bereaved themselves.

Rocky is two years old and a very calm and well-behaved boy. He gets on well with kids, other dogs and cats. He is neutered and vaccinated.

Sasha is a lovely shiny 7 year old red female although she was not in such fine condition when she came to us. When Sasha arrived she was very poorly and needed emergency surgery for an infection in her womb.  She also had two nipples removed because they were elongated and we were scared she might catch them when out for a walk.  As you can see from these pictures, she is much better now.

She has recovered very well from her surgery.  She loves a nice cuddle and a fuss and will happily chase a ball or a toy.  She will not bring it back to you though - 'Well you threw it!'

She does not like smaller animals at all and will chase or bark at them.  She can mix with some larger dogs but careful introductions will be needed.  She behaves very well with both adults and children.

If you feel you could offer Sasha the very special forever home she so much deserves then please read our rehoming policies before applying to adopt.

Spike is 6 and looking for a new home because a family member has developed allergies which the doctor thinks are related to him 

Spike himself has some skin allergies and has been on a course of steroid tablets, but we feel these could be improved with diet changes. He is good with children and is crate-trained. We're not sure he's suitable for homing with cats though as he has a penchant for chasing them! He will be neutered before rehoming - we are not sure about vaccination at the moment due to the steroid treatment but this will be assessed before he goes to his new home.

This gorgeous boy is Ronnie, he's four years old and a happy, friendly lad. He's very good with children and other dogs, but not so good with cats and small animals.

He needs a new home because he's being left on his own too much as a result of work commitments. He is neutered and vaccinated.

Kai is a 9 year old brindle girl who needs a new home because her family are emigrating.  She has been a much loved companion for her family since she was a pup and they are devastated to have to leave her behind but they think the trip would just be too much for her to handle.

Kai has lived with both children and cats so there is no restriction on the type of home she needs.

She does have a pre-existing skin condition which will be best controlled day to day by a quality diet, although if she has a flare up a course of antibiotics or steroids may be prescribed by your vet.  Prior to re-homing Kai will be vaccinated and neutered.

If you think you can offer Kai that very special forever home she needs needs please read our rehoming policies before applying to adopt.

Wilma and Bruce are a lifetime pair who are being re-homed because their family are moving abroad and are unable to take the dogs with them.  They are both fine specimens and are happy to live with both children and cats.

Wilma is 10 years of age and suffers no health problems.  She is a very affectionate dog and she has been with her current family her entire life. She is usually very calm but can get a bit overexcited when outside but does respond well to commands. She loves going for walks and chasing a tennis ball in the park.

Bruce is a little younger age just 9 years of age.  He does have a long standing heart murmor which he copes with very well and is on no medication for the condition.  His exercise needs to be controlled to prevent him from fainting.  He copes very well with the condition generally. 

Bruce is a brilliant dog despite his little health problem. He has been with his current family his entire life and to them he has been a joy. He is very protective of those around him, always trying to ensure their safety.  He loves being outside and going for walks. He also loves chasing balls but because of his condition that needs to be handled carefully.

If you have space in both your heart and home for this lovely pair then please read our rehoming policies before applying to adopt.

Megan and Storm are both 9 years old Megan is very giddy and loves running free, she really enjoys cuddling up and seems to think she is still a puppy and she likes to sit on your knee but forgets how heavy she is! She enjoys giving boxer kisses if you let her! If you sing to her she will also shake her bum which is very funny. Megan is of small build and brindle colour. She has a very beautiful face.

They are currently in Ormskirk - Lancashire

Please note these 2 MUST stay together.  If you can offer them a home please read our rehoming policies before applying to adopt.
