We began rescue in 2013, as a normal pet rescue.  Pulling dogs from shelters, humane societies, etc.  We also saved them from Craig's List, Facebook and online sale sites.  We also took in owner surrender dogs, when for some reason a dog could no longer be kept.

But in spring of 2016, we took in our first breeder release dogs, and it changed our founder, Melody's life.  Her heart changed as she saw these puppy machines with no wiggle, no joy and GREAT FEAR of humans and their touch/attention, turn into happy, wiggly, nub waggers as they learned how to live and how to love outside the cage!

It was because of this, commercial breeder dogs / puppy mill survivors became our #1 priority.  Our mission ever since, has been to rehab and help boxers (and boston terriers) find life and love after a life of forced breeding.

These dogs require extra care, extra compassion and the tenderest of hearts.  Adoption a puppy mill survivor isn't for everyone.  It's hard work.  You are taking in a dog whom was never petted, never coddled, never loved.  And it's your job to show them what love is.  And usually how to live inside a home.  From potty training an adult dog, to helping them learn about tv's, glass windows/doors, ceiling fans and all the other terrifying things inside today's homes!

But once that boxer starts to blossom and find it's wiggle, the rest just falls into place.  The great personality of a boxer is like no other!

 

And this is why we say............All for the LOVE of a Boxer!
