Welcome to Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue

Cami
"We searched far and wide looking for a dog to fill an empty place in our hearts after losing two of our boxers. Cami came into our house in late spring 2020. During the height of Covid, I hopped in my car and drove to upstate NY to pick up a girl who stole my heart in photos. She was not spayed, had heartworms, and needed some dental/tumor removals… we worked hard to get her back to a healthy place!! Our house consisted of another female and male boxer who welcomed her with loving paws. Cami went through some life changes with all of us, including the loss of my male boxer, Dexter. She has helped heal my heart in so many ways over the last few years. Towards the end of her life she moved all the way back to California with me and my other female that I still have, Stella. Cami left us very suddenly in August 2024 and I still feel her loss in my heart. She was a good girl and I wish we had more time… we certainly miss her sweet personality. She will always be in my heart!"

Ross
"Our family is saddened to announce Ross, our big and loveable friend, passed away June 25th. It's certainly an understatement to say we were very shocked, given his rapid decline in health. We didn't have nearly enough time with him. We hoped to give him many more comfortable and happy years with us, in contrast to his rough start. This wasn't, of course, meant to be. We can take some consolation in knowing his 13 months with us were filled with love. Ross was always so stoic, a very gentle giant, even during his illness. He was extremely patient and kind with our children and always happy to see all who visited. We are very grateful for the time we were given with Ross. He was certainly our gentleman, rescued from Texas, who was destined to live always in our hearts. "

Maxim
We started fostering Maxim in October 2021. Max was already having hind leg weakness which was believed to be due to DM. After several months as a foster, we knew this needy boy belonged in our home. We knew our time with Max wouldn’t be long, but we were still not ready to lose him. He didn’t know a stranger. He was loved by everyone who met him and wiggled his way into many hearts. Our life revolved around Max for so long due to his disabilities. His loss hurt different than any other boxer loss we have went through. He is now in a place where he is able to run, jump and play again. We love and miss you so much Maxim, Maxim Lee Maximo

Boots
My worst nightmare happened on July 2nd when foster Boots came down with Gastric Dilation-Volvulus referred to as Bloat. Emergency surgery was not successful. I was able to be with him when he crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful RCBR found Boots and his brother Bubba for me and for the opportunity to foster them. The brothers were found wandering in a wooded area near Fayetteville, West Virginia. I picked the brothers up in Hudson WI on December 23rd and we had a wonderful Christmas together. I believe they appreciated spending Christmas in a house rather than a shelter. Boots was a wonderful companion as he was content and satisfied to put his head on my lap while I watched my morning TV shows. Boots always helped me prepare meals, laundry, cleaning, yard work, and was always by my side. Boots was the perfect roommate. Weather permitting we logged miles and points for “WoofTrax”. Boots best bud was his brother Bubba and Boots so adored his brother Bubba. I so enjoyed our time together and will be forever grateful that he found me. He brought joy and happiness every day. I miss him and his constant companionship. His collar hangs on my bed post.

Storm
Sadly and unfortunately I have to announce Stormie crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I only got to spend a little time with Storm. I thought I was only gonna foster him and his sister, but after a week I decided these two precious dogs needed me as much as I needed them, so I adopted both of them. Everything seemed to be going real good and then poor Storm started eating less and less. I changed his food constantly to anything he would eat. He would eat something new for about a day or two and would just lose interest. I took him to my vet that I’ve had for about 18 years. She unfortunately gave me the sad news. Poor Stormie’s pancreas is shutting down and there’s not much we can do, especially since he’s an older boxer. I was crushed. I felt so bad. I felt like I had failed him as a dog parent. Poor guy had to leave his furever home. The only one he’s known for 9yrs, comes to this new strange home and gets very, very sick. I was just crushed. Still kinda am. We did have a lot of fun before all this though. He loved going on rides and this guy was the ultimate cuddler. No matter which of his sisters I’d be loving on….in would come ol Stormie’s paw or leg or his head would peek through just to get some more love. We are gonna miss him deeply. Run free Storm! Love you to the moon and back buddy. Thank you for letting me love you and thank you for loving me.
