My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

MUST BE THE ONLY DOG IN HOUSEHOLD; REACTIVE TO DOGS

11/5 Update:  Bella, she is now Bella Boo! She loves her humans and wants to be anywhere they are. She loves going on adventures with them. Bella loves side by side rides and also going on the boat. She wears a life jacket that she doesn't mind but is not too sure about the water but does swim when her humans are with her. She doesn't mind her kennel however sleeps with me at night. We are going to start letting her stay out a little at a time because sometimes she will go to sleep by herself on the couch at night and has never chewed on things she is not supposed to. We are working on walking on a leash but she really likes to pull and makes walks a mission. We are going to start training soon to work on this. Bella has a fenced in yard and goes out to do her business but doesn't like to be out much unless she is with someone playing. We are also working on playing fetch and but wasn't too sure about a ball at first! We are getting a little better each time! Bella wants all of your attention. She is good for awhile with another dog but then after awhile that is enough so she needs to go to a home where she is the only one. Bella has a lot of love to give and even gives hugs at random times especially when you get home.

More about this rescue

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue is a non-profit, 100% volunteer run rescue organization serving the needs of senior boxers and providing special care for medical/behavioral cases.

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue is a 501(c)3 charity, registered with the Internal Revenue Service. Our EIN is 83-4480032. All donations are tax-free in accordance with IRS regulations.

MISSION STATEMENT

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue (RCBR) is a non-profit, all volunteer, foster-based organization dedicated to providing loving homes for Boxer dogs – especially seniors, medically challenged, and those needing to start over again in an unfamiliar world.

We offer quality care for whatever time is left; it is not about the quantity of days, but rather the amount of love that can be shared during those days.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue (RCBR) believe all dogs deserve loving, responsible, committed homes. These homes may be adoptive homes, foster homes, or comfort care/hospice homes depending on the needs of the dog.

We take considerable care in finding good matches between human and dog. We will educate the families about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a rescued dog into their home and lives.

Boxers in our care are spayed or neutered, receive appropriate veterinary care, vaccinations, and treatment for pre-existing conditions. Dogs in the greatest need take priority to the extent our finances allow. In some cases, the need may be for comfort care with minimal medical interference.

We are determined to keep administrative expenses in check so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the dogs. Our organization remains committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process. Education and support will be offered to all foster, adoptive, and comfort care homes. If possible, a special scholarship program for Boxer dogs currently in loving and caring families will be utilized so the family is not forced to surrender their four-legged family member to a rescue.

RCBR recognizes that adoption alone is not the solution for overpopulation of pets. The rescue plans to work with other shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and state agencies regarding spay and neuter programs to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
