My story

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

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

Stuart is little, but he is not Stuart Little. As of November 20th, he is about 25 lbs and thought to be around 7 months old.

Stuart spent the first months of his life in a puppy mill. Being a puppy mill dog, there's certain things he doesn't know yet, like where he's supposed to go to the bathroom and why all the people and dogs in his foster home move around so much.

The kennel is something he is not a big fan of, but he tolerates it. His ideal life probably wouldn't involve a kennel very often. Stuart would LOVE to see kennel time replaced with time being held by a human. He loves being held and carried like a baby.

Stu is not neutered yet but will be in a couple of weeks. He may need some dental cleaning done as well, as unbelievably his adult teeth already have excessive tartar. No doubt that's a consequence of the puppy mill life.

He's got a big personality and we see glimpses of it sometimes. Every day something new comes out, no doubt this will continue as he becomes more comfortable with the good life.

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.
