For the Love of a Boxer Rescue & Sanctuary - Michigan

For the Love of a Boxer Rescue & Sanctuary - Michigan For the Love of a Boxer Rescue & Sanctuary, Wallace, Michigan - was founded in 2013 as Ruff Start Boxer Rescue. Our dogs are NOT PETS. They have never been pets.

We are a PUPPY MILL ONLY or HIGH MEDICAL NEEDS ONLY rescue. We save boxers and bostons from puppy mills, dog auction houses and breeding farms who are being sold, given away or retired as they are no longer deemed productive or wanted. Never been loved, and many harbor mental repercussions of such treatment. For this reason, each and every one of our dogs is individually evaluated to see what type

of home they need. What things they are capable of doing, and hopefully able to learn. This is why COMPANION DOGS are required for 99% of our dogs. Dogs are who they have loved and lived with, and who they trust. Humans are who has betrayed their love and trust while locked in the cage for years and years. This is also why PHYSICAL FENCES are required. To keep these puppy mill survivors from running away from US, the humans that never loved them, and thus have no bonds/attachments to. :(



These dogs all receive full vetting, after years of never seeing, nor being visited by a veterinarian. They slowly learn to trust humans, and interact with us. This can take several weeks, or up to a year! Each dog has its on ability to interact and trust, and each dog is given that time needed here. We believe in , and all dogs deserve to live a warm, comfortable life with lots of love and understanding. Our mission is be try to save as many as we can from life in a cage as a puppy machine.........All for the LOVE of a Boxer......and Boston!


“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” ― Emma Lazarus

I will ALWAYS be their voice. I will NEVER be silenced. I do not care if you disapprove of my voice, as I will STAND for those locked in cages as prisoners of GREED. I will never STEP BACK or BACK DOWN. These dogs deserve to be treated as pets and not as PUPPY MACHINES. This is my MISSION and I will never, ever stop defending the misuse of the boxer breed. I will FOREVER expose the abusers and CONTINUE to defend the innocent animals who have no voice.

I know some of you will remember our auction save, Libby the mama boston, and her litter of Frenchtons from last year mi...

I know some of you will remember our auction save, Libby the mama boston, and her litter of Frenchtons from last year mid-summer?

Well, this is Ollie, one of those frenchton pups. He is now just over a year old, and has been returned for some bad behaviors.

I am evaluating him right now, and will find out exactly what corrections/training he needs before posting his availability and what his new perfect home will be.

But in the meantime, PM me if you might be interested in him.

What do I know right now?

He could be an only dog, no companion needed. He might need a no child home - we will test that thoroughly!

He will probably need a physical fence, cause he seems to put his nose in one direction and pay no attention to the human in the other. LOL

And we will be testing him with an array of dogs, large and small, to see how he does with them all. And of course he will meet Morrie, the cat. :)

Right now, his world is kinda upside down, and he's decompressing well and I am spending some good one on one time with him!
