Welcome to Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue

Casey
Casey crossed the Rainbow Bridge September 10th, 2024 Casey was a sweet southern girl who came to RCBR during the height of the COVID pandemic. She was quickly adopted by a senior couple wanting to share their home with a senior dog in need. Sadly, not long after she was adopted, Casey's new mom passed away. Casey immediately became glued to the side of her new daddy. They were inseparable. They gave each other the company the other one longed for. Casey and her new dad were meant to be together. Unfortunately, Casey passed in September 2024 and her dad passed away in November 2024. Now Casey and her parents are all together again.

Chance
I am so happy I was able to be a happily ever after for this guy. He joined our family in October and from the first day, I knew he was special. I was able to watch him blossom and heal and understand what love really was. He kept me in laughs and hugs and helicopter tail wags. His bright eyes brightened my even darkest days. He took his last breath on 5/13/21 and will forever hold a HUGE chunk of my heart. We love and miss you very much Mr. Chance.

Chanel
Chanel was with us for just a week, but we made sure she felt loved and that she was never alone. She was miserable most of the time; every movement caused the tumors on her legs to rub, so she spent most of her time cuddling. Chanel LOVED to snuggle and adored having her ears rubbed! Interestingly enough, she was not a fan of Sean Penn. Watching a movie he was in and whenever he was on the screen, she would bark like crazy. Silly girl! One night, she had a BK meal for dinner, the next night it was chicken strips; anything to make her happy and get her to eat. Fostering hospice dogs is so very hard, but what a privilege it is to be able to make their last days happy ones.

Clyde
16 days. Clyde knew love for his last 16 days. Clyde was found by a citizen in Georgia, laying on a front lawn. He was brought to the local shelter. He was about to be euthanized because the shelter felt no one would adopt him. You see, Clyde had no function of his back legs. He had what is called degenerative myelopathy. It is a progressive disorder that slowly paralyzes the body, starting with the tail end and working it's way up the spine. RCBR was contacted to see if we would help, and of course we said "yes"!!! A volunteer brought him to Best Friend Animal Hospital where he stayed for a week. He was showered with love by Dr. Angela Earick, Marie and their entire staff! This vet hospital is AMAZING! Blake Wilson then picked him up and road tripped to Chattanooga where he met with Bill Dye who drove him back to Ohio. Bill and Lorraine Dye have been taking great care of him for the last week. Clyde was all set to come to MN to his long-term foster family, but he took a sudden turn today, health-wise. Clyde was in pain and the most selfless thing to do was to help him over the bridge, where he could be pain-free and run with all four legs again. Thank you, Bill and Lorraine, for being there with him. Sometimes, this is rescue. We didn't have him long, but he did not die alone in a shelter. He was loved unconditionally for the last 16 days of his life ❤️❤️

Cocoa
"I never had dogs growing up and got my first dog when I was 23 and second dog when I was 31 and a third at 38. My two oldest crossed the rainbow bridge last fall at the ages of 17 and 9. They showed me all the love a senior dog could give. I adopted Cocoa on January 12th 2020. She immediately fit in with the family and was such a fun, silly, little girl. She just loved to eat and would do these dancing circles all the way around the house till I set her bowl down. In July she was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and we fought hard till she let me know she was ready to go and on October 21st, 2020 she crossed the rainbow bridge. Cocoa you are so missed. We love you.”
