***A New Beginning***

Laura and Tim are adopting again from MLBR! Several years ago, they adopted Izzy from the WA-5 group of Boxers who came into the rescue in 2021. Unfortunately, she recently passed, and they found themselves missing a Boxer in the house. So, they went on a search and soon spied Tula. After the allotted time for a sleepover, they knew that Tula had found her forever home; and with a quick name-change, she now goes by Mabel.

Mabel is settling in nicely with her new family and is coming out of her shell more and more and displaying all the great Boxer traits Tim and Laura love. They tell us she’s a sweet, happy lovebug! Mabel will soon be getting to meet friends and family, along with their dogs, which will provide her with as much canine playtime as she desires. Other fun things that Mabel will get to enjoy are daily walks, playing fetch in the yard, and hiking/wandering around the Olympic National Forest. Mabel is going to love her new life!!

Laura and Tim, MustLuvBoxers Rescue is thrilled that you returned to adopt again. We know that Mabel hit the big-time with you both and we are so glad you found another Boxer to fill the void from your loss. Please keep us updated on all of the fun that the three of you have together and with your friends, family, and her new doggy friends.

Brian is patiently waiting for his forever family to come along and take him home. He’s a good boy who needs a strong leader and another dog to hang out with.

We’d like to introduce you to Scarlet! She is 2 years old, spayed and potty trained, and she’s being fostered in Spanaway, WA. (THANK YOU Chantelle & Family!)

Scarlet joined the MLBR pack just a week ago when her owner came to the decision that she deserved a better life than what he could provide for her. He just wants her to go to a good home, one where she’ll have a family that can give her the love and attention she deserves, and space to run and play. We were happy to help and are thankful we had a foster family raise their hands for this beauty.

What we were told about Scarlet is that she is a gentle soul, loves playing with other dogs, is very smart and obedient, and is super soft like a teddy bear!

Scarlet’s foster family tells us that she is unbelievably sweet, and children are her best friends – she ADORES them! When it comes to adults, trust has to be earned, but she does come around. She loves to cuddle and wants to be involved in everything that is going on, 24/7! Scarlet does have some anxiety, but we think it’s mostly due to all of the changes she’s experiencing. We are hopeful that with some time, patience, land consistency, the anxiety will subside. Overall, though, Scarlet is handling the transitions like a champ and is showing that she is eager to please.

We want to send out BIG THANKS to our volunteers who helped transport this precious cargo last weekend – Megan, for picking up Scarlet from her previous owner in Ellensburg, WA, then Eric & Kerri, for meeting at Snoqualmie Pass, to take her the rest of the way to her foster home. We are so lucky to have people ready, willing, and able to jump in their vehicles to get these pups where they need to go.

We sure are looking forward to learning more about sweet Scarlet in the coming weeks, so be sure to stay tuned!

***A New Beginning***

When fosters decide to adopt it’s a great day for everyone! We have such a story to share, and today’s main subject is Jeffrey! It took a while for this cutie pie to find the right family for him, but luck was finally on his side when he met Chio and her female Lab/Pit, Rylee. We’ll just let Chio share how this adoption came to be…

“We are beyond thrilled to have Jeffrey officially join our family!

When I saw the rescue asking for a foster home placement for Jeffrey in January 2024, I had my sight on him, but he was quickly spoken for then adopted out in April that year. There was just something joyous about this special boy. Fast forward to November 2024, when I saw another post saying he was ready to come back to the rescue through no fault of his own. I raised my hand!

Now that I'm back working in the office several days a week, my other dog, Rylee, gets lonely, so we are all much happier with Jeffrey in our house. He's the perfect blend of playfulness and full-on deep sleep! My, this boy can really sleep! I'm jealous! He's quiet, perfect on walks, and loves to snuggle. I knew I couldn't let Jeffrey go when he chose us to be his forever family.”

Chio and Rylee, we are so happy that Jeffrey was ‘meant to be’! He’s lucky to have found such a loving forever family. We look forward to getting updates about the fun times you three have together in the years ahead. Congratulations and thank you for raising your hand to foster this sweet boy.

Are you looking to adopt a Boxer but wish you had more time to make sure that they were the perfect fit? If this accurately describes you, then our Foster-to-Adopt program may be exactly what you’re looking for.

We will match you with a pup who has the characteristics that you're wanting in your new furry friend. Fostering will allow you to get to know the dog to make sure they’re compatible with your family and any other existing pets. All you have to do is provide a safe, loving home; and we pay for all approved/necessary vet care during their time with you. If your first foster does not end up being “the one”, then you can try again after the pup has been adopted then we try again after your foster is adopted by another family.

This program not only allows us to match you with your new furever family member, but it also allows another Boxer in need to be saved. As an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue, we rely on the availability of foster homes to continue to save lives. Please feel free to contact us for more information or submit a foster-to-adopt application today by going to our website: https://www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/foster.

Cheyenne has been with MLBR for almost a year and she’s had very little interest from potential adopters. We can’t figure out why though. This girl is a gem! She has worked so hard with her current foster family, developing some great skills and has also learned many hand-signs for various commands. Yes, Cheyenne is deaf, but that doesn’t keep her from being a super awesome pup. Please take a few minutes and read Cheyenne’s bio; maybe you’ll realize she’s the girl you’ve been missing in your life – https://tinyurl.com/MLBR-CheyennePetFinderBio.

You can help Cheyenne along on her journey by SHARING this post with everyone you know. We’d love to get her home soon!!

We would like to say THANK YOU to our friends at the All The Best Pet Care store in Issaquah, WA for thinking of us again for a nice donation of pet supplies. This haul includes canned dog food, bags of kibble, food toppers, treats, and toys. We will be sure to put these items to good use and anything that isn’t needed by a foster family, we’ll be sure to pay it forward to local organizations here in Stanwood, WA.

HUGE THANKS to our volunteer, Jeff, for picking up the goods and storing them for the rescue.

If you are in the Issaquah area or plan to travel through there, please stop in to All the Best Pet Care to say hello to Heidi and her staff. Tell them MLBR sent ya! 💜🐾💚

Roxy Found Her Forever Family!

***A New Beginning*** We have a very special Christmas day adoption story to share with you and we are thrilled we can make this our first announcement of 2025. It’s certainly a great way to kick off the new year. We’ll let Roxy’s mom, Jennifer, tell you all about this ‘happily ever after’… “Roxy came to us from a really bad situation 11 months ago. In that time, we have been blessed to watch her bloom from a traumatized, unsure girl to the boisterous, mischievous girl we have now. Our entire family has changed so much this year. We lost 2 of our older dogs, and we lost family members. My son and Roxy have grown into an inseparable pair where she sleeps with him every night and while he holes himself in his room playing video games, she is right there beside him snoring away. A few weeks ago, I was talking to the kids about a “photo shoot” we were going to do with Roxy to update her adoption photos and my son lost it. He looked at me and said, “We have already lost so much this year and now Roxy will leave too. How much more do I have to lose?” It was at that moment that I realized that Roxy was and has been a part of our family for too long to let her go. I worked with the rescue and the adoption coordinator and decided that Ayden’s Christmas gift was going to be welcoming this girl as a permanent member of our family. They designed the perfect adoption email for Ayden, and I was able to print it off, put it in an envelope and put it on the tree to open on Christmas morning. Watching his reaction just confirmed that we made the right choice. I want to thank MLBR for allowing us to be part of their amazing foster team. Without them, we would not have had Roxy enter our lives. Being able to change the lives of the dogs we bring in has not only changed my life but has taught my children the importance of kindness and how to love them enough to allow them to find their forever homes as well. If you can, I implore you to find room in your

Cheyenne Has Something to Say!

Cheyenne can be quite vocal when wanting and/or receiving some love from her people. Isn’t she just the CUTEST?!? We can’t figure out why she hasn’t been scooped up yet; but we know her forever family is out there somewhere! You can read all about Cheyenne by clicking here: https://tinyurl.com/MLBR-CheyennePetFinderBio. 🐾Please hit that SHARE button and let’s spread the word about this amazing girl.🐾

Happy New Year!!

Well, 2024 is a wrap! Boy what a year it has been! There was so much uncertainty about the rescue’s future, then at the last minute we received a Christmas miracle and purchased the property we’ve been leasing for the last two years. We are so excited to see what 2025 has in store for us and we hope you’ll stay tuned so you can follow along. All of us here at MustLuvBoxers Rescue wish a Happy New Year to all of our supporters, volunteers, adopters, friends, and family!! May it be full of good health, happiness, and prosperity! (and of course Boxers!!) 💜🐾💚

Merry Christmas from our pack to yours! We hope you all have a wonderful day, no matter how, or if, you are celebrating. 🐾🎄🐾

Good Girl Sally!

Sweet Sally is doing great in her foster home, learning a lot of new things, and she’s ready to find her forever home and family! Recently her foster parents worked with her on a long lead out in public where she'd see other dogs and people and she reacted in an excited and playful manner. She was easily recalled by her foster mom as you’ll see in this short video. That’s a checkmark in the win column! See if Sally would be a match for you by reading her bio here: https://tinyurl.com/MLBR-SallyPF-Bio. When you realize Sally is the girl you’ve been looking for, be sure to let us know. Not ready to adopt? Then, please share Sally with all of your friends and family!
