Meet Myk, a sweet guy looking for a good home!
Myk (Mick) is 10, loves his crate, loves running around in the yard, and loves people (after a slow introduction). He does well with other dogs and kids, but cats are an unknown.
Check out his bio, he's a great doggie!
Myk loves his people which include small children. He loves to play on the rough side with the resident dog which includes some play biting on legs so he would do best with another dog that can handle the play. He would also do great as a solo dog. Myk sits nicely and is very food motivated to learn new things. He is house broken and loves his kennel. Myk does like hearing himself talk so if he outside alone he does bark. Myk is also protective of his home. Any new visitor need a slow intro but he warms up quickly. Myk loves walks and is an active dog for his age. Zoomies are a regular part of his day. Myk also loves a good pile of clean laundry, he needs to make it smell like him again.

Meet Atlas, the happy 6-8 year old Boxer looking for a forever home!
This is a courtesy post for our good friends over at Creekside Animal Rescue (thanks Fisher) , Atlas is not with RCBR.
Atlas has been dealing with Cushing’s disease. We have managed his condition with medication. He does have frequent urination and poor skin conditions from his health issues. The medication has significantly improved these things but does not provide full relief, so Atlas needs a loving and understanding family to give him a forever home.
Atlas loves exploring outside and is hard of hearing. He is estimated between 6-8 years. It is difficult to tell his age given his health condition. The cost of treatment is around $100 a month. Creekside will supply adopters with medication for Atlas! He’s been with us since May and is currently staying at the rescue.
Atlas would love a committed foster OR adopter!

Maxim crossed the rainbow bridge March 29th, 2024. Here are a few words from his family:
"We started fostering Maxim in October 2021. Max was already having hind leg weakness which was believed to be due to DM. After several months as a foster, we knew this needy boy belonged in our home. We knew our time with Max wouldn’t be long, but we were still not ready to lose him. He didn’t know a stranger. He was loved by everyone who met him and wiggled his way into many hearts. Our life revolved around Max for so long due to his disabilities. His loss hurt different than any other boxer loss we have went through. He is now in a place where he is able to run, jump and play again. We love and miss you so much Maxim, Maxim Lee Maximo"

Axel (RCBR's Knight) found his perfect forever home on July 20th, 2024!
"When we lost our last boxer, Rocky, on March 25, 2024, we were devastated. It was quiet in the house, and we missed him dearly and still do. I believe it was fate that Axel (aka knight) was born March 15, 2024, just 10 days before rocky passed. We weren't really looking for a young dog, we were looking for a 2-year-old and wanted to wait till fall for another. But we saw Axel on the RCBR website, and something just kept drawing me back to his profile. Then I said we need this dog. Now he is part of our family for the next 10 plus years. He's a goofy, spunky typical boxer and we love him so much already. He is a fast learner, and he already has taken over our house; we live in his world now. He just turned 5 months old, but he is growing so fast. When you rescue a dog, who really saves who?"

Another unique RCBR story, with a twist! Bubba and Boots (brothers) came into RCBR together last year. They then lived together in the same foster home, but we learned the two were not bonded and could be separated.
Bubba found his perfect forever family on June 10th, 2024!
A few short weeks later, July 2nd, Boots passed away in his foster mama's arms at the emergency hospital where he was diagnosed with 'bloat' and did not survive surgery.
In honor of his brother, Bubba and his new family decided to honorarily adopt Boots into their family after his passing, because no dog deserves to pass without a family.
Here is the story told in Bubba's family's words:
"After the sudden passing of Orion "Bobby" Bubba F., we needed a short break to reset and find the right boxer to come join our herd. When it was time a few months later, we reached back out to RCBR to find our match because we knew it would be with another boxer in need. When we found Bubba Coal, it became clear, he was the right guy for our family.
He's now known as Saiph “Bubba” (Saiph and Rigel are two of the bright stars in the Orion constellation – those are our three boxers) but you can still call him Bubba… and he’s finding his place in the herd quickly. He loves his big yard and family (including Atlas and Ceres, his step-fur siblings). We even flushed a big robin out from under the apple trees – so we check under there all the time now looking for more of those. We also learned that low hanging apples on the tree make for a good occasional snack.
Here are a few photos of Bubba exploring one of the apple trees, playing on the deck, wearing our monitor/tuxedo, having a rest after a good play, and waiting (somewhat impatiently) for the rain to end so we can go play outside again (this winter might be long with less outside play, turns out we can be a little temperature sensitive).
He has all the best playful, goofy qualities we love about our boxer kids. Loving, dancing, and sometimes a little grumbly when we don’t get what we want immediately. In the evenings, he loves to curl up on the couch with dad and watch tv.
Unfortunately, he also has one of the tougher boxer qualities as we recently learned that Bubba has a significant non-sustained VTach related to ARVC. We have him working with UMN Veterinary Hospital, he's currently on medication, and we’re in the process of dialing it in. We get fitted for our second Holter monitor on Monday to see how we’re improving with the most recent adjustments. (He gets to show off his tuxedo again to his step-siblings – he thinks he’s a sharp dresser). He already has even more energy than before from his current medications. Plus we get peanut butter with our pills twice a day, so that's pretty nice.
Please thank his foster mom for taking such good care of Bubba for us and for being there when he needed it most. We were crushed to learn about Bubba's brother Boots passing in foster. We’d like to symbolically adopt Boots in memory of him on behalf of his real brother Bubba.
Thank you RCBR for taking care of Bubba, Boots, and all the boxers who are in need."
- Jeff, Robyn, Atlas, Ceres, and Saiph “Bubba”.

Boots crossed the Rainbow Bridge July 2nd, 2024
Here are a few words from his incredible foster mama:
"My worst nightmare happened on July 2nd when foster Boots came down with Gastric Dilation-Volvulus referred to as Bloat. Emergency surgery was not successful. I was able to be with him when he crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful RCBR found Boots and his brother Bubba for me and for the opportunity to foster them. The brothers were found wandering in a wooded area near Fayetteville, West Virginia. I picked the brothers up in Hudson WI on December 23rd and we had a wonderful Christmas together. I believe they appreciated spending Christmas in a house rather than a shelter.
Boots was a wonderful companion as he was content and satisfied to put his head on my lap while I watched my morning TV shows. Boots always helped me prepare meals, laundry, cleaning, yard work, and was always by my side. Boots was the perfect roommate. Weather permitting we logged miles and points for “WoofTrax”. Boots best bud was his brother Bubba and Boots so adored his brother Bubba.
I so enjoyed our time together and will be forever grateful that he found me. He brought joy and happiness every day. I miss him and his constant companionship. His collar hangs on my bed post."
Delta found her perfect forever family on July 1st, 2024!
Say hello to Delta, aka Dilly Bar or Delli. She is our new family member and coming in nearing 10 years of age brings wisdom to our crew 😊 she loves long couch naps, following you around, eating, following you, napping… oh and following you!! She’s finding her place as an office dog, checked out the plane and decided the air may not be her jam, but if she followed Jeremy there, she may not mind. She may seem a bit standoff-ish but really, she’s just keeping track of her people and finding her next cozy place to nap.
We’re so thankful to have her in our family as we have camped with her, traveled and just truly enjoy her presence!! We are also sure she and our previous RCBR alumni Molly (Poppy with the rescue) must have somehow crossed paws. It’s been two and a half years since I helped Molly across the rainbow bridge and asked her to send her boy a good one, just for him. She out did herself!! Delta is a shadow dog to beat all shadow dogs, just what our son needed!! (Molly is the dog our son is laying on in one of the pictures, they could be sisters even it seems.)

Unique two-part Adoption/Rainbow Bridge post.
Part one: Storm and Molly were adopted May 21st, 2024!
"Back at the beginning of April, I saw a post on Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue’s page. There were these two beautiful, bonded pair of boxers named Molly and Stormie.
The owner was an elderly lady who was going through some intense health concerns and unfortunately, she couldn’t take care of her two dogs the way they deserved to be taken care of anymore and so she her daughter contacted Rejection Collection.
These two needed fostered asap.
I thought 'this very well could be me someday and I would want my dogs to be with the best owner possible if it were me.'
I had just lost my big boy Ziggy not that long ago and I felt my other boxer, Lolly, missed him and needed a playmate. So why not two?
I met these two magnificent creatures in Dayton, Ohio, at their mama’s home.
Stormie was this beautiful all white boxer boy and Molly was a beautiful tiger striped brindle boxer with keen eyes that made you think this girl knows some things, lol. Both had papers and Betsy their owner had them since they were both pups.
They both gave the sweetest little kisses I’ve ever gotten from any dog.
Just nice, subtle, gentle and sweet. They just barely stuck out their tongues and gave ya kiss on the lips. No slobbery excited gross kisses, lol. Like little pecks almost. Just sweet as can be.
So we drove back to Indiana and let me tell you, those two did great on the ride. Not a p*ep. Just laid back and chilled.
When we got back next came the big test: will they get along with my Lolly? Lolly loves every dog she comes into contact with. She just wants to play, with everyone and everybody.
The meeting went great! Lolly was pretty excited and Stormie and Molly were happy to find a new friend. Pretty soon they all were cuddling up together and being one pack.
We go on hikes and meet lots of people and I take all three of them to the pet store with me and none of them bark or show any bad behavior the entire time. Pretty much anywhere we go.
My neighbors thought they were special dogs because none of the 3 really bark at anything. We have become one big happy family and we still talk to their mom every week.
Needless to say I am extremely thankful yet again for everybody at Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue!!!"
Josh
Part two: Storm crossed the Rainbow Bridge June 13th, 2024.
"Sadly and unfortunately I have to announce Stormie crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
I only got to spend a little time with Storm.
I thought I was only gonna foster him and his sister, but after a week I decided these two precious dogs needed me as much as I needed them, so I adopted both of them.
Everything seemed to be going real good and then poor Storm started eating less and less. I changed his food constantly to anything he would eat. He would eat something new for about a day or two and would just lose interest. I took him to my vet that I’ve had for about 18 years. She unfortunately gave me the sad news. Poor Stormie’s pancreas is shutting down and there’s not much we can do, especially since he’s an older boxer.
I was crushed. I felt so bad. I felt like I had failed him as a dog parent.
Poor guy had to leave his furever home. The only one he’s known for 9yrs, comes to this new strange home and gets very, very sick.
I was just crushed. Still kinda am.
We did have a lot of fun before all this though. He loved going on rides and this guy was the ultimate cuddler. No matter which of his sisters I’d be loving on….in would come ol Stormie’s paw or leg or his head would p*ek through just to get some more love.
We are gonna miss him deeply. Run free Storm!
Love you to the moon and back buddy. Thank you for letting me love you and thank you for loving me."

Elmer (fka Scout) found his forever family April 29th, 2024!
"I was contacted by a mutual boxer lover about a white female puppy born to a recently rescued momma from Texas. She knew I've always wanted a white boxer (I've had both fawn and reverse brindle) and got me in touch with RCBR.
Because I have a very dominant female (10yo) little terrier mix, it was decided a male would be best. My broken heart soon mended when I took home the big boy of the litter, Scout! As much as I loved the name, I have always had old-fashioned names, which led me to name him Elmer....and boy is he an Elmer!
I haven't always had the brightest crayon in the box for dogs, but they all have been so sweet and, of course, boxer goofy. Elmer, on the other hand, has been incredibly quick to learn. He learned to sit, stay, heel, and shake within a couple of tries. He was the biggest in the litter, and I often have to remind myself that he is still a puppy and is only 4 months old! With his DNA results coming back as 51% boxer, 22% German Shepherd, 14% Doberman, and 13% "super mutt", I can see why he's one smart and big boy! Next on our learning agenda is how to get him to not counter surf and bark!!"

Looking for a little sweetness in your life? Meet Sugar!
She is the perfect blend of sweet, silly, and just plain fun to have around. She loves people and warms up quickly 😍
Sugar is 4 and a half, but still feels like a puppy! She's playful, loving, and FULL of energy, but also knows how to relax and unwind on the couch! She loves snuggling in bed at night and has great nighttime manners.
Her hobbies are playing with toys (she almost ALWAYS has a toy in her mouth 😆), making her family laugh, going for car rides, and going for walks! She is wonderful on a leash but gets overexcited when she meets other dogs. We've all been there when we meet someone we really want to impress!
Sugar is very strong, so she'd do better with kids over 12. She is crate-trained and doesn't potty in the house, but she seems to have an urgent bladder, so she benefits from a midday p*e break. She has no issues overnight. She's energetic and loves to play, so a fence isn't required, but it would be a plus!
Sugar has been with RCBR for 4 1/2 months and is SO ready to meet her family. If you've got a little love to give, she's got a lot of love to give back! This sweet girl deserves a warm home, so give Sugar a try ❤❤️
Jenny was adopted from RCBR and is now 4 years old. She currently lives in Morven, North Carolina. She got spooked by fireworks on July 7th and has been missing since. She is a black/reverse brindle boxer mix, about 50 pounds, super sweet. She is a young gentleman's therapy dog and he misses her very much.
There have been no sightings of her since she went missing. She was wearing her pink/purple collar w/tags on Sunday. This is a very densely wooded area.

Zoey. She’s a hyper one, but good hyper.
She seeks attention of anyone and everyone.
When you sit next to her, she leans in to snuggle or she’ll paw at you so you can shake her hand.
She has shown food aggression, but knows that eating time is kennel time.
She is very good with walking, and does well with all basic commands.
She can be a jealous girl and wants to always have human attention.
Does Zoey sound like the girl for you? Let us know!
If she doesn't, please share so we can find her forever!
Foster Ross is moving into the Alumni category. He met Alumni Stella recently, who shared her secrets on being an adopted dog ❤️
You can see she was very serious in this conversation, and Ross was listening well.
On Saturday it will be two weeks since Pickles made it to his foster home. Since coming he has started to learn to tell the foster mom when he has to potty or wants food or water. He is also playing with one of the resident dogs. He is super smart, almost to smart. He seems to be gaining some weight and food is given whenever he wants it. He gets small portions a couple times a day. He is still getting pain meds and antibiotics for his ”wound” on his balls and started the antibiotics for heartworm treatment. He is so smart that he knows the antibiotics are hiding in his raw beef treat he gets. He has started to settle more at the home and is very curious and will at times get into trouble. He loves to be close to his foster mom and loves to be pet. Hopefully after surgery on the 10 to be neutered he will start gaining even more weight.
In the comments is a picture from above taken today.

about the rejection collection.
Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue was founded by a group of senior & special needs Boxer lovers who saw a need for a specialty organization that committed time & money to the animals that are near and dear to our hearts. We focus our volunteer & fundraising efforts on Boxers that are older, or have special needs. This group is often time last to be looked at, due to the shorter life span or costs involved in making sure they live out their best lives.
We believe all dogs deserve loving, responsible, committed homes. These homes may be adoptive homes, foster homes, or comfort care/hospice homes depending on the needs of the dog.
We take considerable care in finding good matches between human and dog. We will educate the families about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a rescued dog into their home and lives.
Boxers in our care are spayed or neutered when appropriate, receive veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, and treatment for pre-existing conditions. Dogs in the greatest need take priority to the extent our finances allow. In some cases, the need may be for comfort care with minimal medical interference.
We are determined to keep administrative expenses in check so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the dogs. Our organization remains committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process. Education and support will be offered to all foster, adoptive, and comfort care homes. If possible, a special scholarship program for Boxer dogs currently in loving and caring families will be utilized so the family is not forced to surrender their four-legged family member to a rescue.
RCBR recognizes that adoption alone is not the solution for overpopulation of pets. The rescue plans to work with other shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and state agencies regarding spay and neuter programs to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Finally, we strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.
