Welcome to Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue

Hans
Sometimes a special dog comes along, bonds fast and furious to you and leaves too soon. That was the case with Hans, a young white deaf Boxer boy with a heart condition. Hans had gorgeous brown eyes that burrowed into my heart and soul and will stay there forever. He was a goofball most of the time, caused trouble half the time and loved and trusted me all the time. Hans thought he was a lap dog and cuddled up with me on the recliner every night to watch TV before bedtime. When bedtime came, he would rush to my bed to hog most of the bed for himself. In the morning I would wake up to Hans' head on my pillow and his hot breath in my ear. I was Hans' forever foster, we both knew he would never leave my home. Thank you, Hans, for entertaining me with your antics, keeping me on my toes with your naughtiness and providing love and comfort to me with your sweetness. Hans, you hold a special place in my heart for all you gave to me while teaching me about unconditional love and acceptance. I miss you so much. Love you forever, big white boy with the broken heart ~ Lucy Blake-Larsen

Molly
Our Molly girl is gone. She got sick and after having seizures, we decided the best thing for her would be to pass comfortably. We are heartbroken. I, Courtney, am admittedly a cat person, but due to various factors we are a dog family. So a year and a half ago we adopted (Poppy) Molly. I thought she was an awesome family dog but was not expecting her to capture my heart in a way that had previously been reserved for my cat, Mufasa, who I had my entire childhood. I’m so grateful for Molly and how she impacted our family. She loved on me right after we got her and made me believe she knew I needed her….we needed her. It’s been a few weeks, and I still cry almost daily. I don’t want to grieve her passing because she shouldn’t have had to pass, she should be here, loving us just as much as we love her.

Guss
You may be gone but you will always be remembered. We were privileged to love you for just over a year. Always silently watching us, we knew you were happy just being able to be around. We know Reese was at the Rainbow Bridge to greet you, and you are together once again cuddling as you sleep.

Stillborn puppy to Vanilla Cupcake
"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most space in your heart." Pooh Bear You were born silent, perfect and beautiful. You never had the chance to snuggle your siblings, nurse from your momma, feel life run through your body and participate in the joy of being someone's special pet. But we miss you just the same as if you had been born with a beating heart. You have left a huge hole in our rescue hearts. We will never forget you, sweet little puppy girl.

Daisy
Daisy had a hard life from what I understood. She had heart issues when we adopted her from RCBR in the Summer of 2020. When I saw her picture, I fell in love with her. I told my husband I could not, in good conscience, leave her with RCBR as not many people would step up to the plate and pay for her heart treatments. Medications alone were $100/month plus frequent holter monitors through ISU. She was an absolute joy! She got along with our 4 cats and our Min Pin. Daisy became a daddy's girl, following my husband everywhere and laying beside him on the couch. She still snuggled with me in bed though. Daisy loved chasing rabbits and squirrels in the backyard or just relaxing by dad's chair. She loved playing with her toys, enjoyed her puppy treats and sharing breakfast with me - bananas and grapes. The first sign of her brain tumor was seizures. They were controlled very well on phenobarbital for about 7 months. Another medication was added at that time that stopped the seizures but other symptoms of a brain tumor became noticeable, i.e., constant pacing especially in circles and new incontinence. A big "Thank You" to Dr. Mike at the Sheffield Veterinary clinic for everything he did to keep Daisy's quality of life at the highest level possible while keeping her as pain-free as possible. Also for making her transition to the Rainbow Bridge as peaceful as possible.
