Thistle Boxer Rescue Thistle Boxer Rescue is a registered charity- we rescue and re-home boxer dogs across Scotland

Thistle Boxer Rescue was registered as a charity in 2018 - we rescue and re-home boxer dogs across Scotland following neglect or change in circumstances. We also provide support and information to people interested in the breed.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We are very sad to let you know that we have started the process of winding down Thistle Boxer Rescue, as an operating Charity and boxer dog rescue. We are working with OSCR in this process and hoping to have completed all the necessary steps by the end of September, including shutting down our social media pages and website.

We have ceased all rescue activities, and are therefore not taking on any further dogs into our care, or accepting foster or adoption applications. We have also ceased any active fundraising activities. As part of this process we are contacting all the families that have adopted dogs through us to advise on what will happen in the future with support.

We have loved being able to rescue and rehome dogs over the last 6 years, but unfortunately due to operating challenges it makes it difficult to continue being run by such a small team of volunteers

For those of you that have given their time, support and money over the years we are incredibly thankful. 🙏

We are very proud of what we have achieved as such a small charity. It has been incredibly hard work, but very fulfilling, and we hope that the passion and energy that we have for boxers and our dedication to finding their forever sofas, has come across. The charity has always had the best interests of the breed at the heart of what we do.

If you have any regular donations set up, or have us nominated as your charity of choice anywhere, please can you change this.

We will miss giving you daily social media posts and providing updates on the dogs that have come through our care over the years, but we look forward to following their progress via other boxer pages.

Thank you again for your support

Diane, Libby, Stacey, Fiona and Kate 🐾🐾🐾🙏

We love hearing from the families who have adopted through us.

George (white boy in the middle) came to us and we were told he was going for other dogs especially when on the lead.

Through the hard work and experience of his new family, George recently attended a boxer meet up through .

He behaved brilliantly and had a great time

Way to go George and keep up the hard work 🙌🏻🐶🐾

'a dog dreamt he could fly,
Soaring high in the sky,
With a leap and a bound,
Feet off the ground,
In his dreams, he was never shy'

Post update. He’s found a forever sofa 🙌🏻🐶🐾

🐾A HOME FOR JOEY PLEASE🐾

Joey (only 3 years old) has been placed in our care through no fault of his own. His family circumstances changed and sadly they didn’t have time for him any more.

He’s a very loving dog who likes nothing more than snuggles on the sofa, playtime and is responding well to some training.

Ideally a pet and child free home is needed so his new family can give him all the time and attention he deserves. His new family need to be able to teach him to walk well on the lead and introduce him to the world at his own pace.

Could Joey be the dog for you?

Please apply on our website https://www.thistleboxerrescue.org.uk/adoption-form/

We will be happy to discuss Joey’s needs further with you.

What a difference a few months of attention, focus and consistency can make

Buster didn’t know what to do with balls when he first got to his forever home, however he’s now so interested he’s started to like the taste of them too 🤦🏻‍♀️🐶🐾

Our handsome Joey is still in foster and looking for his forever family. With lots of people wanting younger dogs, we are surprised that Joey hasn't been snapped up yet!
Joey is nearly 3 but he is really just a big pup. He loves to play and run around the garden with his favourite squeaky toys and balls🥰 Loves a cuddle at night when it's nearly bedtime, making sure your face is washed too 😆 Joey is a joy to be around and when settled , will make the perfect companion.
He is strong on the lead and can't possibly walk in a straight line 🤦‍♀️ so will need a confident handler and someone willing to help him with his nervousness and teach him some manners when out and about.

He is treat motivated but recently recognised that he walks better with a ball in his mouth (when he isn't picking up all the acorns)

We are looking for a pet and child free home so that Joey gets the attention he needs with no distractions. This is purely due to his lack of training and socialisation needs.

He’s a young boy who deserves the best life so please can you help share his post to help us find him his forever home.

If you think you have a Joey shaped space on the couch, please apply on our website.

🐾PUPDATE🐾

We are over the moon to let you know that the lovely Ace has found his forever sofa.

His foster family fell in love the moment that he arrived, and they knew that he could not go through any further upheaval and so made it official this week.

He's a bit underweight but has had a clean bill of health from the vet. He has no idea that he is 9 years young and is keeping the kids on their toes.

We are always so delighted when any of our dogs find their home, but there is always something special about the older dogs. We thank his new home from the bottom of our hearts for giving him this second chance and we look forward to sharing his story as we imagine many adventures await them

Way to go Ace

Happy 4th Gotcha day to the very handsome Shadow

He loves his monthly trips away playing on the beach and sitting on the balcony watching the swans. He also likes playing in the farmers field next to his house; we’re still not sure he’s enjoying his wet weather gear though 🤣🐾🐶☔️

Enjoy your day lovely boy

Good luck tonight Scotland in the Euro's  Let's see your pups showing support too⚽️🐶

The lovely Joey has been in his foster home for 2 weeks and has settled well. His foster parents say he is full of energy and loves to play. He enjoys a cuddle on the sofa and will lick your face at any given chance 🥰
Joey is a big pup (he will be turning 3 in August) and will need training when out on walks, he is also strong on the lead so will need a confident handler.
We are looking for a child and pet free home for Joey to ensure he gets the time and attention that his needs require.
