Boxers and Buddies

Boxers and Buddies Boxer Rescue Boxers and Buddies provides a safe, humane sanctuary for abandoned Boxers and other breeds who are waiting to be adopted. We need your help.
(18)

Boxers and Buddies, part of the Boxer Rescue Fund, is a non-profit dog rescue located in Northern Nevada and serving Nevada and Northern California.Boxer Rescue is a nonprofit organization founded in 2005. B&B is funded solely by private donation. Our entire organization is run by a dedicated team of volunteers. Our group works for the love of the breed and to see dogs find homes. Our available d

ogs come from local shelters, from the streets or from owners who turn them in. We are always filled to capacity with scared, confused and very stressed out dogs. They are with us because B&B is their last hope of finding a new life. We are their temporary haven until they are adopted into a loving permanent home. Before they can be adopted, each dog is evaluated for temperament, must be sterilized, microchipped and their shots are updated. B&B has a training program for those dogs who need rehabilitation or have behaviors which need to be modified. B&B stands apart from other rescues by rescuing any Boxer, regardless of age or health. We feel that they are all worthy of a real chance at life. This policy means that we are subject to frequent and expensive veterinarian costs. Medical expenses are only one of the major cost B&B has to pay each year. The cost are endless: food, mortgage, utilities, insurance, shelter fee, and the costs go on and on. Saving lives is not cheap but someone has to do it! It takes over $250,000 each year to keep B&B open. We are constantly seeking funds and support. We depend on our donors and our volunteers to keep B&B open to any Boxer in need. We appreciate your compassion by including a rescue Boxer into your life. Please spread the word and continue to support our efforts.

Dog Days of Summer - Day 3

Meet Betty. Betty has been in rescue for 519 days. Betty is an almost 4 year old Olde English Bulldog. She is a beautiful soul who was scheduled for euthanasia for no reason other than a skin condition. She was missing 90% of her fur, itchy, and covered in wounds and scabs.
With the help of our rescue, Betty is looking and doing better. She is on a hypoallergenic food and sees a doggie dermatologist to manage her skin condition. She currently has patches of hair and fur, but may never fully recover all of her fur.
Betty loves cuddles and bum scratches and is looking forward to having a forever home soon.
Betty does ok with other dogs, but needs a proper introduction and time to adjust and feel comfortable. She could also be ok as an only dog.
If you are interested in meeting Betty, please fill out an application at Boxersandbuddies.com

Dog Days of Summer - Day 2

Meet Zora. Zora has been in rescue for 781 days.

Zora is a spunky almost 3 year old female boxer. She came into rescue from a local shelter, and before that she lived her entire life in a fenced yard with her littermate.
Zora is very playful and exuberant, and loves all kinds of toys. But the thing she loves most is being petted and snuggling with her dog brothers and foster humans.
She is completely housetrained, rides perfectly in the car, and walks well on leash with no pulling (see below for exceptions). Zora is extremely bright and learns quickly.
Because she wasn't exposed to other dogs and new people, she is reactive to both. However, she can be redirected using treats and responds well to praise. Zora would do best with a well-adjusted/socialized male dog. She loves rough housing with the foster family's 80lb American Bully mix, and is fine with their older male Pug.
The foster family doesn't have any cats or smaller pets, but Zora has shown some prey drive when on hikes. This indicated that she may not be ok with smaller pets, birds, or cats. Dog-savvy, respectful children should not be an issue.
Boxer experience (specifically female/puppy) highly recommended. Well-adjusted/socialized male dog of similar size required. Zora will require obedience/behavior training to address her reactivity as specified in the adoption contract.
If you are interested in meeting or adopting Zora, please fill out an adoption application at boxersandbuddies.com.

We begin our Dog Days of Summer posts with a dog who has been in rescue the longest.

Meet Tesla. She has been in rescue for 792 days. She has made NUMEROUS local news appearances and has been featured on our page regularly.
Tesla is a great dog! She is a 5 year old Husky Malinois mix. She has lots of smarts and energy. She loves to play. She loves attention. She loves belly rubs.
Tesla can be overwhelming - especially to new, unprepared dog parents. If not given attention, She will be destructive and vocal especially if bored or overstimulated. But she loves to talk, has loads of energy, and absolutely loves other doggies (although she can be overwhelming to smaller dogs). Once settled in, she loves cuddles and belly rubs, too. Just look at those eyes, begging you to take her home!
Tesla will play fetch for DAYS. She loves to be with her people. She does well with tolerant male dogs when off lead. When on a leash, she gets frustrated and more vocal.
Tesla would LOVE a runner, long distance hiker, someone who can't sit still and doesn't want to. Once her energy is expended, she wants nothing more than to snuggle on the couch with her favorite people.
If you are interested in Tesla, please fill out an application at Boxersandbuddies.com.

Meet Emperor.
This sweet guy is 6 months old. He is an American Bully, Pit bull, Chihuahua, Cattle Dog mix. He was previously adopted and returned 2 months later due to no fault of his own. Emperor is looking for a home that can provide him with an active lifestyle and positive interactions.

Emperor is crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained. He listens well, is well behaved, and knows basic commands such as sit, crate, no, come, and outside. He is a huge cuddle bug with a giant heart. He gets along with cats, dogs, and kids. He doesn't bark even when the neighbor dogs are barking at him. He is super playful and really enjoys a good game of fetch. He rides well in the car. He is an all around amazing pup.

If you are interested in Emperor, please fill out an application at Boxersandbuddies.com.

Did you know…canine companions can improve people’s moods, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Just looking dogs in the eye may even boost levels of oxytocin. Read more in the attached article.

In a study of brain activity, walking a poodle made people more relaxed, brushing the dog improved concentration and playing with her had both effects.

We will not be at the Petco South Virginia today so that our volunteers can spend time with family and celebrate the special dads/step-dads and spend time with family. We will see you next month. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hi. I’m Jenga. I love people, especially the little ones. I'm goofy and bouncy but love cuddling. I am always ready for some belly rubs or a game of fetch. I have never had a forever home 🐶, but now that I’m in a foster home I’m learning basic manners and learning lots from my foster siblings. I am a 10 month old boxer mix. I currently weigh 35 lbs, am fixed, microchipped, and have had all my shots. I am eager to meet my new family and learn what it means to be a forever pet. Can I be your forever dog?

Hi, I’m Yahtzee! 🎲 I am a super sweet cuddly 10 month old boy that loves to play with my foster sister, but also loves to cuddle up for a snooze and a movie on the couch. I really like the hose water and don’t mind baths. I’m learning to have confidence on walks, but I don’t really pull and want to stay close to my humans. Speaking of humans, I LOVE people. So much so that I might cry a little when they leave but I’m learning quickly that not all humans will leave me forever! I’m a ladies man and sometimes men can be a little scary at first but I warm up quickly if they let me come to them and have yummy treats (I love treats so I’ll be an easy boy to train). I almost have potty training down and have gotten used to my crate more and more the longer I’ve been with my fosters once I figured out they always come back eventually. I am great on the car and would rather just take a nap than stair out the window. I’m the perfect size at 35ish pounds and will make the best adventure dog and best friend to someone out there!

Congratulations to Oreo, now Jacks, on his adoption. Our amazing foster, Miss Peggy, took him in from the shelter and he fit right in with her pack. He is so kind to her other B&B dog Gingerbread, who is partially blind, that Peggy just couldn’t let him go. He makes Mama Gingerbread feel included, plays with her, and makes sure she isn’t left behind. He is so happy being with Peggy and we are happy to say he will live in her loving home forever! A total foster win here! ❤️
