Welcome to Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue

Dove
"Our Dovie crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. We knew this was coming; she had a cancerous growth on her left back leg—-nonetheless, today was heartbreaking. I retired in January 2020 and at that time, we only had Bones. Of course, I’m always perusing dog sites, and the picture and story of this little girl captivated me. This little girl came to live with us in April 2020 when she was six years old. She came to us from Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue who saw her listed on Craigslist “as is” and stepped up to get her. She was being dumped by a puppy mill in Missouri who used her for six years. She was kept in a cage with no human interaction just producing litters of puppies to make $ for the breeder. She came to the rescue as #16—the rescue gave her the name Dove. She had numerous medical problems which the rescue attended to including numerous rotted teeth and a raging infection of her uterus. She will never fully leave behind what her life was like for those six years. She was very timid but stole our hearts immediately. Believe me when I say her progress over the last three years has been baby steps. When she started making eye contact with me—BIG STEP!!! I was thrilled. We got Lily (our brindle Mastiff) in March 2021–she too was a rescue (Hero’s Haven) and the twosome became a threesome. Some funny things about our girl… She could snore like a sailor…actually pretty cute I thought. Once she got bites of our popcorn and ice cream, she was hooked. In fact, June and I gave her her last treat of ice cream today. She would “groom” Bones incessantly—-drove Tom nuts to listen to the licking, but pretty sure Bones loved it. Bones and Lily taught her how to be a beggar—she earned an “A” for that! She was not keen on walks but was quick to be in line for a treat with the other two when we returned. Dove—you leave a void. You gave us so much and we loved you so. Dad-Take care of our girl until the day I see you both again.❤️"

Scooby
Scooby was loved immensely by his mama. Sadly, cancer took him way too soon. Fligh high, Scooby Doo!

Angel
Angel Cakes truly lived up to her name. She was loved by everyone who knew her. She is greatly missed by many.

Roscoe (RCBR Rocco)
It doesn't seem real, how can it be true, what just happened?!!!! This morning, our sweet, lovable joyus Roscoe died. It happened in minutes, there was nothing we could do but tell him how very much we loved him, how lucky we were to have him in our life, how grateful we were to him for his love and laughter that he brought into our life. Joel and Roscoe left for their walk. Minutes later, Joel was screaming for me that he thought Roscoe was dying. He carried him into the foyer and laid him down. We were both on the floor with him. Joel said they got one house away and Roscoe collapsed in the street. He tried to stand him up, but he couldn't, so he picked him up and came back home. For a second, I thought it was a seizure, but he was gasping for air, and his body was limp. He was gone in minutes. We are in shock, beyond devestated, and our hearts hurt so very much. We know he missed his sister, Lilly, and we have no doubt they are together once again. The holes left in our hearts are massive, the silence in this house is deafening, and the wish that we could wake from this nightmare of a day is real. Hug your pooches a little harder tonight, spend extra time with them, kiss them a few extra times, tell them how much you love them and why you are thankful you have them in your life and what a good boy or girl they are because you don't know when it will be the last time you get to do it.

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.
