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.

Ok Pink Collar Girl Update & Litter Update:

She's holding her own. She does not suck. She puts a teat or nurser ni**le into her mouth and just lets it flip out. She makes no attempts to nurse/suck and drink. Therefore, she was being pushed off and wasn't getting anything.

Fast forward to me taking over. I am syringe feeding her -- and tonight, I offered her another nurser try and she just might have done some sucking very lightly!

She is drinking about 4 ml every 2 hours or so, if I'm lucky. In the whelp box next to her siblings, she looks like a skeleton. They are all fat, thick and rounded bellies. She is not. She is white fur over bones. :(

I've rolled out every weapon I have to keep her going. This is my 35th litter of pups raised since starting this rescue. I have an arsenal of ideas in my possession, and know how to use them! ;)

I will continue to feed her around the clock every 2 hours and know that I am tired, crabby and don't have time for silly comments, let alone life right now.

This little peanut is my life for now, and I won't give up unless she does.........and I'm pretty happy with our last 2 feedings overall, so keep your fingers crossed and your prayers coming! She needs it!

Her siblings are being supplemented (yep, more babies for me to feed!), just until mama's milk comes in super strong -- which has really kicked in today. They all suck from the puppy nurser fast and strong! They are all doing amazing!

🤣⚠️KICKSTARTER for JR Irrigation LLC⚠️🤣

Hey All, I'm JR aka Jelly Roll and I have started a new business venture. Well, it's not really new, I've been at it about 3 months already, but the Rescue Lady is just getting around to posting!

I've got a hidden talent and I'm tapping into it! It's IRRIGATION! I have this amazing ability to turn a regular hose, into a SOAKER HOSE! And...........I continually MOVE the hose for you, to completely irrigate the entire yard!

Now, you might ask, WHY the kickstarter? Well, I've been in business here for a few months, and it turns out, the Rescue Lady doesn't need so many of my fancy custom soaker hoses, and really would like a few NON SOAKER hoses to do her chores with! I don't really understand this, since the hose still works and all, its just the pressure isn't great for cleaning, etc. And as much effort as I put into these hoses, she still wants some that don't leak errrr irrigate!

Annnnnny who...........looks like I'm asking yall to help me fund a few hoses for the nice lady who tolerates my shenanigans, errrrr irrigation talents.

The Rescue Lady wants to add, yes, she left this hose out, and it's totally her fault. But alas, the other 3 hoses she has (2 wind up into the building) also have my irrigation system already installed on them and will need to be replaced before winter comes or we'll be in a real icy pickle over here!

Sooooo, if you can help a tripod handicapped boxer out over here, I'm just trying hard to earn my keep and all with the irrigation needs yano?

Also, if you are in need of irrigation I'M AVAILABLE! I need a fenced yard, so I don't irrigate the who damn neighborhood, but I'm a good boy with lots of talent! And did I mention LOOKS? Rescue Lady says I got looks AND brains! 🤣

Thanks again, for helping a boxer entrepreneur out!

Y’all know what this means……..

Pink collar white female pup is fading. Unable to latch tonight. I was able to get a little formula down her with a syringe.

We’ll see if a night of me feeding her every hour brings back some strength.

Fingers and paws crossed. Prayers requested!

Mama Sky and her 1 day old boxer babies!

This morning will be their first pen bedding change.

I tried to leave them alone yesterday other than checking to be sure everyone was nursing and doing well.

Mama is having the normal dark discharge post whelp, while it is really noticeable on the pad, it’s nothing to be concerned about.

She’s the best mom! Taking great care of them and so attentive! She’s eating and drinking well and I’m super happy with her in all aspects so far!
