Angel Heart crossed the Rainbow Bridge February 12th, 2025. Here are some words from her mama:

"Where do I start!? When Ritzy Roo left me, my heart was beyond broken, he was a very special boy. But like all the others I knew the right one would come to me, when I was asked about Angel, I knew I had to foster her, her name said it all but seeing her video of her shaking like a leaf I knew she needed the love I have to give. I always think of the right home comes along I'll let them go, well I fall in love and for various reasons you know it's not good for them to switch to another home either. So it was, I adopted her, and she stayed 2 1/2 years!! Pretty good for a 10-year-old! She had plenty of health issues which thankfully got better with the rescue. Another boxer with heart issues, imagine that!?! But once on Sotalol no more syncope. She had a fear of men like no other, hated Rick for some time and till her last day she would give him a few seconds of grief. 😁 But she grew to love him dearly. I've never seen any dog love balls like her, she had her favorites for sure, but we showered her with all kinds of balls because you never knew if she'd have a new temporary favorite! She was a beauty too; I don't care what my dog looks like but a stunning boxer she was!! Heartbreaking was the day we saw symptoms of DM. We knew what we were in for, she was our fourth one. She did pretty well for a while and her love for balls helped her keep going. I really think it helped keep her strength up but then you know it's enough.... Between painful arthritis and the struggles of the disease we said our sad goodbye. She was so fun and kept me going too, she is dearly missed!"

Maurice crossed the Rainbow Bridge January 27th, 2025. Here are some words from his mom:

"Mo, the southern gentlemen from Tennessee, arrived in Minnesota in February 2021 on the coldest weekend of the year.

Throughout our 4 years with him, we worked with him to curb his separation anxiety, though he kept his ability to go from snoring to following mom out of a room in less than 10 seconds. He became comfortable using a ramp to get in and out of the car and grew in confidence around other dogs. His favorite things included riding in the Burley on bike rides, exploring new places, going to the office with us, bacon, and while he wasn’t a fan on baths, he loved the hairdryer. He also loved other people, and we had an ongoing joke that he’d go home with anyone.

At the end of January, the cough he’d always had, and we’d noticed an uptick in, developed into coughing fits and trouble breathing. A trip to the Doggy ER revealed a big mass in his lungs. We brought him home and enjoyed a beautiful last day with him. After a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and buttered toast, we took him on a walk on his favorite route, had chicken nuggets for lunch, and said goodbye to him in his fuzzy bed, with us and his feline brothers by his side.

He was our first and best dog. He loved his people, and we were lucky to be his people."

Sweet Elouise crossed the rainbow bridge May 8th, 2025, with her mom and dad by her side. Here are some words from her mama:

"Sweet Elouise. At the time (January 2020) I was doing intake for Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue, and we were contacted about this 7- to 9-year-old ‘mini boxer’ that was surrendered to the shelter and presumed to have Cushing's. Mom and I picked her up and all we could say was she was soooooo cute! My vet Dr. Belz instantly said I had to adopt her, and it wasn’t long before we did. I had never had a small dog before, and we often called her Little Baby. Me, being a childless dog/cat lady started buying outfits immediately! 🙂 She stole our hearts for sure. With the help of a team of vets (primary Dr. Belz, Dr. Stacy with Trillium -Acupuncture and Chinese herbs, AERC specialists and U of MN specialists we finally got her regulated. She had a macro tumor on her brain as well as hyperthyroidism (usually dogs have hypo) and possible thyroid cancer. 4 years ago, we met with oncology, and they predicted she had a year if we did not do chemo. We decided against chemo, but she lived 4 more years for a total of 5 + with us!!! If you met Elouise, you know she looooooved to give kisses and stare into your eyes. One visitor called her creepy which has always made us laugh. We thought she loved us so much with all her affection but turned out she truly loved everyone. The last couple months her white blood cell counts were high but initial X-rays in March were not concerning. Thursday I just knew she was ‘off’, so I brought her to Dr. Belz who thought she looked bloated and immediately took an x-ray that showed a large stomach mass. I came around the corner and saw both Dr. Belz and sweet Jade in tears……I called Francis to come and went and got her a sausage McMuffin. She also had chronic pancreatitis so had to be on a bland diet, so she was VERY happy with her treat. We put her to peace and our hearts are broken. The house (despite 5 resident dogs and 1 foster dog and many cats) feels so empty and so quiet. I can’t express the strong enough words of how much she was loved…… until we meet again Little Baby…."

RCBR has a very special adoption "series" to share with you all!

Part 6 of 7:

Amy is one of the 5 puppies. Here is her adoption story as told by her forever family:

"We are so grateful for RCBR and Amy's foster family who took such amazing care of Mama Mikki and all the puppies. We unexpectedly lost one of our favorite boxers 2 years ago and she has helped fill the void from missing our Gizmo.

She instantly became best friends with our 3 year-old Cane Corso Kevin and enjoys snuggling up with our senior dog-RCBR alumni, Bella. All 3 of our boys adore her and fight over who's turn it is to snuggle with her.

She is living her best life on the farm chasing birds, leaves, taking the casual golf cart ride and chauffeurs her human brothers to and from school. She excels in napping, eating (she's 55lbs already!) and loves everyone.

While she is the occasional shoe thief, she makes you forget by melting your heart with her sweet face.

Amy is the mischievous sweet girl we didn't know we needed."

Gino is one of the 5 puppies. Here is his adoption story as told by his forever family:

"Our journey with Gino (known at his birth as Blue) began in November. RCBR announced a pregnant female (Mikki) was in Wisconsin and about to give birth. Our family jumped at the chance to adopt a baby boy after losing our elderly boxer, (also from RCBR), earlier that year. The process of waiting for Gino to be old enough to leave Mikki proved to be a long wait. The foster, Brooke, was wonderful with her frequent updates, milestones, and pictures as Gino matured. The love and affection she and her family showed to this young family made a big difference in Gino's development. After the 9 hour round trip to pick Gino up, we were surprised how quickly Gino settled right into his routine. He is very energetic, and in typical Boxer fashion, is a clown! His indoor zoomies can be hair-raising as he is incredibly fast, but still suffers from his puppy clumsiness, which sometimes doesn't end well. He, like Mikki and Ringo, is very affectionate and absolutely loves to be held. He enjoys playing at the dog park, riding in the car, and listening to records with our children. He simply craves being one of our family. We are very thankful and happy to oblige."

Part 4 of 7:

Lolli is one of the 5 puppies. Here is her adoption story as told by her forever family:

"Our family lost three fur family members within the last four years, two being this past year and it’s been very difficult for all of us to say the least…One week after we lost are 14-year-old boxer we saw that RCBR was having babies! We thought maybe this is the time. We were picked to be one of the adopters of Mikki's babies. We didn’t care whether it was a boy, girl or which one of the puppies would be chosen for us. Those 12 weeks I was talking to the wonderful foster Brooke every single day ! She was always sending us pictures, videos and updates on her. Our home was so empty without any animals and Lolli brought joy back to all of us. We knew we wanted to get a puppy to grow up with the kids. Boxer puppies are hard to come by when it comes to rescue. We knew the right one would come to us when the time was right. I truly believe Lolli was brought to us by Gunner, Bella and Zeusy (our fur angels 🌈🐾). She has a little bit of each of them that reminds us of them every single day. She is living her absolute best life! Lolli saved us, and we just love her! Thank you RCBR for saving Mikki and Ringo and giving them a second chance at freedom and a loving home. We will forever be thankful for RCBR and Brooke for fostering momma and all five of her babies!"

Part 3 of 7:

Boone is one of the 5 puppies. Here is his adoption story as told by his forever family:

"We picked up Boone on February 1st, 2025. He ended up staying with his mommy and Brooke a little longer than the rest because of a family vacation. At the time, we still had our old man Loki, but he was sick, and we were not sure how much longer he would stay with us. However, he and Boone got to meet one another, and Boone was quite excited that another dog was with him. A few nights after we got back with him, we were contacted by a family friend about another pup that was going to come up for rescue, a female and we had an emergency family meeting, deciding that Boone would need a friend, because Loki was living on borrowed time.

Boone began to get comfortable with his new surroundings and two things happened, he started to grow, and he started to demonstrate just how smart he was. Took me about a week to get him house trained, and sit, stay and come are now pretty much part of his demeanor. He wants nothing more to please and play. On March 14th, we took off for a 2 day trip to Minneapolis to pick up pup number two, Boone's little sister Frankie, and ever since then it's been days filled with playing running, napping and seeing how much they can get away with. They'll be lifelong friends, and although it can be exhausting chasing them both, Amy and I wouldn't change any of it. They've helped heal the scar of losing four dogs in less than two years and we are both happy that for the time being we just get to enjoy our dogs and not worrying about their aging health. We want to thank RCBR and Brooke Helley for all the love and care they put into Boone and all his family, brother, sisters, Mikki and Ringo. Currently he's sitting at 51-52 lbs depending on whether I can get him to not squirm while weighing him. So he's going to be a big one.

Part 2 of 7:

Ringo is with his forever hospice family! Here is his story as told by his foster momma:

"On October 20th I was sitting on my couch feeling a little anxious. I had agreed to foster a 12 year old Boxer named Ringo. I was told that Ringo had lived his life in a dirt floor kennel and was used as a breeder. He had never had vet care or felt the loving hand of human touch or had been in a home. Someone cut one of his ears off and he was very malnourished. When he arrived at my house, he came in and walked right over to me and crawled into my lap. He snuggled in and was softly snoring in about 2 minutes. I held this gentle old man for 2 hours. A few days later he was seen by the vet and he was found to have double ear infection, he had a terrible UTI, he was heart worm positive, had rotten infected teeth and had tumors that turned out to be cancer. He became a hospice dog. We didn’t think he would actually make it to Thanksgiving. We got several meds to treat what we could and make him comfortable. I also put a request out on Facebook to anyone who was interested to come and love on this precious boy. His favorite place to be is in someone’s lap and will crawl right in. My village responded and started coming to love this boy up. Thanksgiving came and went, as did Christmas. 6 months later this precious old man is absolutely thriving. He has gained weight and plays with my grandson every day. He actually runs around the yard like he is a puppy sometimes. His favorite place is still in my lap and I have considered quitting my job so I can stay home and hold him (not really 😊). Shortly after he came here we found out that he fathered 5 beautiful boxer babies. I hope that they all have the gentleness and loving heart that their daddy has. I thank God and Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue for bringing him to my home every day and will continue to love on him until he takes his last breath. I am so happy that after 12 years of experiencing significant neglect, he will live out his last days knowing he is so very loved."

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.
