BOXERS IN NEED!
The following boxers need you. They are currently in local shelters or in
homes that can no longer care for them for whatever reason. LBR has been
asked to help them, but we cannot take them into our program because our
foster homes are full. LBR provides all food, vetting a crate, and basic
essentials like leash and collar, for each foster boxer - please help us help them!
Please note that in most cases, LBR has no other information about these
boxers other than what's listed here.
There are also boxers in shelters that we do not have pictures of. We need all the help we can get at this point. If you are interested in fostering for us, please fill out our foster application by clicking here.

Other Info: SUPER URGENT - EU is imminent!!
UPDATE: We think she has been PTS, Waiting for confirmation from shelter. This sweet girl has a microchip and is up to date on her shots. She has not been well taken care of though as her nails are curling under. They look painful. It also looks as if she has had a couple of litters. She is approximately 5-6 years old with a docked tail and natural ears. She is in quarantine because her family left the window open and she saw a neighbor walking her small dog in front of her house. Leyla jumped out of the open window and went after the dog. The dog's owner tried to stop her and got bit in the process. Leyla's family has not come to claim her. Leyla is very sweet and gave me sweet kisses. The shelter workers all love her and are trying desperately to save her. Leyla came nose to nose with dogs in the other kennels and did not react. She just wiggled her nub at them so she may be dog friendly. She may just not have liked this particular dog in front of her house. She is not jumpy. She seems like a very sweet girl. She shouldn't have to die because she behaved like most dogs would protecting their territory. She so wants to have a family that she can love unconditionally and that cares for her. She desperately needs a pedicure and a soft place to lay. Can you please give her a second chance? She would be eternally grateful.

Young, male, red and white boxer brought into the shelter as a stray. He is docked, not cropped. Super friendly boxer boy! He was very happy to see visitors! Average boxer energy. He had manners, didnt jump on me and knew sit. Great with the child that visited so we think he would do fine with children. He has a lot of energy but was pretty well mannered. He is probably about 60 lbs. He was brought to shelter by someone who claimed he did not get along with his dogs. The lady at shelter said he has done fine with some and barked at some others. He is good on leash and knew sit. Looked of good weight and no visual health issues. He was a cute boy that acted like some has spent with him. He will be urgent on 5-17 and is hoping to find a new home to love him! Other boxer rescues have been asked and cannot help him. :(

Rajah is a sweet, friendly, calm girl. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owners. She is not high energy, not jumpy and not aggressive. She just likes getting petted. She would probably be just fine with kids. She seemed uninterested in the other dogs. She sits on command. Owner stated she was crate trained and house trained. Generally seems to be in good health, no lumps or bumps. She had a full coat of hair with no patchy spots. Teeth seemed in pretty good shape. She is a tad overweight for her frame. Ears seemed a little dirty and eyes were a little red. Owner said she was 3, but she looks to be closer to 5-7. Owner also said she was up to date on vaccinations, however, the shelter could not verify that through the vet. She is a super nice dog.

This sweet boy was found as a stray. He is covered in fleas and looks like he has some wounds that are healing. His ears are filthy. He is deaf and an absolute sweetheart. Despite this boy's rough past, he is a loving and sweet boy. He wagged his nub at every dog he saw and gave me sweet kisses. He is not jumpy and walked well on the leash. It doesn't appear that he knows any commands, but he is eager to please. He will be stunning once he has a good bath and some TLC. He is such a cutie and is definitely a diamond in the rough. He just wants a family of his own to care for him and he promises to show them unconditional love forever. Can you help this sweet boy find his way home? I'm guessing he is about 5, but am not sure. It was difficult to look in his mouth and he is white, so can't see if he is graying. :-)

Other Info: URGENT OWNER SURRENDER
Lola is a 2 year old 45-50 lb spayed fawn female being surrendered for financial reasons. Lola stays outside on a long chain if it's not too hot during the day (enough chain so she can run). If hot, she has access to the garage. She is house and crate trained. She is crated at night. Good with people, kids and dogs but not cats. She loves water so is fine with baths. She gets exercise from being outside in the back yard. She has a normal amount of boxer energy. She knows sit, shake, and down. She is generally good on a leash but pulls sometimes. She is used to being disciplined verbally or by being sent to her crate. Lola is a fence jumper when she sees something/someone she wants. She has cleared their 6 ft fence. She can counter surf so keep food up. And, she has escaped her kennel but doesn't do it all the time (mainly when bored). Lola was a sweetheart. She loves kids and plays with them. Sounds like we have a dog that needs to get off that chain and given some attention and proper exercise and training. She is urgent and at risk for being surrendered to a shelter if we cannot save her soon.

Other Info: "Dexter" is a 4 year old large unaltered fawn male in a shelter. He has natural ears and docked tail. He is very gentle, calm and scared. So scared, he didn't even wag his tail when petted or loved on. Very skittish when workers passed us in the hall. He allowed me to move his jowls all around to look at his overbite & teeth. They are in good shape. I think he would be good with kids since he was not jumpy at all. But then again, he was very scared. A bigger dog lunged & barked at him through the fence and he just sniffed and walked away. Wouldn't sit or stay. He pulled extremely hard on the leash. Could hardly keep up behind him. He walked by the cats at the windows, looked in and walked away. Lots of cuts and scratches on all 4 legs. Some kind of skin infection going on at the top of his ears near his head. HW status unknown. He was a stray. He's a gorgeous looking boxer. I believe that as soon as he gets out of the scary shelter and relaxes, he'll be a great foster.

Other Info: This is Guinness and he is being surrendered by his owner, who is overwhelmed by his anxiety issues and OCD behavior. He is HW positive and they cannot afford the treatment. He is a fawn 2 1/2 year old pocket boxer. He's okay with kids he's been raised around but because of his behavioral issues, he should not go to a home with children. He is crated 8 hours a day during the week. He is able to escape his crate if it isn't extra secure and can be destructive when he gets out. He has serious separation anxiety. He doesn't do well alone. He is house trained with a doggie door. He plays outside in the back yard and is has high energy but isn't jumpy. He knows "sit" but that is the extent of his training. He is "okay" on a leash and doesn't pull, but wont walk right next to you. If he is verbally scolded he runs and hides. He has no toy or food aggression and is dog friendly. Unsure if he's cat friendly. He's very scared of new people and lives in constant fear. He doesn't like yelling. When he gets stressed he gets real bad diarrhea. He's not a cuddly boxer and he is not the normal outgoing boxer like everyone is used to. This boy will need some serious work as far as socializing and trust issues. He's not a bad boxer by any means but needs someone patient with him and someone with a lot of experience to handle a dog with his issues.

Other Info: Keller is a 3 to 4 year old spayed white deaf 65 lb female boxer with natural ears and docked tail.

Keller is kept either outside in back yard or inside free to roam. She is crated sometimes but not consistently. She gets along with adults, kids and dogs. She is house and crated trained with a wire crate. She is good with baths. Her nails have never been trimmed. they are filed through walking.She goes for walks/runs daily with owner and plays in the backyard. She is not high energy but likes to play. She has had no formal training. Keller knows a few hand signals (like go) and responds to facial expressions. She is good on a leash. She is very submissive with food, treats, and toys. Keller has been known to tear up her bed outside. Owners feels this might be from boredom. Owners feel Keller can be very needy sometimes. She is up to date on shots and HWP. Keller is a very sweet, playful (but lower energy), submissive girl. She was comfortable with us after a few minutes and let us love on her. She is very attentive to her owners since she is deaf. Keller gets anxious sometimes if she is crated and the other dogs are out of the crate playing or if she wants to be with the owners. Owner feels Keller might have a thyroid issue. Keller has thinning hair on her hind hip area and is always ravenous. The vet has not tested for this. The owner might be moving in 3 months (from April) and needs her placed before that time.

Other Info: Sophie is a spayed 62 lb 10 to 11 year old female being surrendered by her owner. The owner moved in with her dad and grandfather and is a full time student. The resident dog is a little Shih-Tzu that is scared of Sophie so Sophie is forced to live outside. She does not want Sophie kept in those conditions. She has a plastic crate that she loves and is her safe place. As soon as it gets dark, she goes in her "house" on the patio. She is great with every person and child she has met. Tamera has a three year old niece that would lay all over her and she was fine. She is great with all dogs big and small, she loves other dogs. She HATES cats, will chase and try to eat them. She is house and crate trained. She is fine with baths and grooming and nail trims. She just stands there. Since she is living in the backyard, she walks around most of the day. No walks or other exercise. Low energy due to her age. She has a normal play style per her owner. She s not possessive with toys. She will sit for treats. She is good on a leash. She is very smart. The back yard is gated off from the pasture where her grandfather keeps his horses, and she will appear out there when she hears people in the pasture. They don't know how she gets out there, she just appears. She will figure out a way to get to her people if she is separated from them. She is up to date on shots but is HW+. She very bad teeth with some missing due to being beaten when she was younger (before her owner got her). She eats dry Science Diet small bites due to her teeth problems. She is one of the sweetest boxers I have met in a long time, she just wanted to be loved on.She was very laid back and sweet, I think she would be good in any home without cats.

Other Info: "Merzedez" is a 2 1/2 year old small sized 48 lb flashy fawn female being surrendered by her owner because she does not get along with her two dachshunds. She is fine with large dogs at doggy day care, but does not seem to like small dogs. She is used to living inside the house in the living room and has a fenced in play area outside she spends time playing in too. She also likes to run after balls and stuffed toys and play catch. She is possessive with her toys with other dogs. She has a lot of play energy. She loves to do boxer burns whenever she gets the chance! She is house trained, but not crate trained. She is fine with people, although she is somewhat skittish around strangers. However, it does not take her very long to warm up. She is fine with baths and nail trims. She has had formal training at a training facility and answers to basic commands and walks fine on a leash. She is probably selective about her dog friends. At home, she would like to be the center of attention. She would probably be fine with a laid back boxer male-or at least a male dog that is larger than she is. She doesn't jump up on people, but her owner stated that she can jump really high! So she would need a yard with a tall fence! She is current on vaccinations except has not had a bordatella shot. She has not been on HWP since Aug. of 2011. Merzedez is a gorgeous little flashy fawn boxer girl. By herself, she is a great dog at home. She would probably do great in a home that does not have dominant little dogs. She would probably be fine with children. She does not like cats. No known illnesses or injuries.

Other Info: Roxie is a spayed 3 year old 50-55 lb female with natural ears and docked tail. She is being surrendered by her owner because they don't have time for her and leave her crated too much. She is good with family members and jumpy with strangers. She is not left inside unsupervised so unknown if she is house trained. She is crate trained. She is fine with baths and nail trims. The ONLY exercise she gets is when she is allowed out of her crate 2 or 3 times a day to go potty. She is let inside sometimes for a bit but spends most of the time in the crate located in a garage with her son Zeke. She is high energy, but I am sure that has to do with being crated too much. She does not seem interested in toys. She can sit on command and go to her crate on command. She is good on a leash with the male owner, and pulls a bit with the female owner. Owner disciplines her using verbal correction, spanking on the bottom, and crate time. Roxie will sometimes growl at other dogs if they try to get her bowl of food but is fine with bones being taken away. She will bark when she sees something she wants or something strange but doesn't bark just to bark. She has a tendency to chew if given the chance and "digs". Roxie has begun to lose hair on her sides within the last 2 weeks. They are crated together and Zeke tends to jump on Roxie a lot. She is current on vaccs and HWP. She is dog friendly and her son Zeke is being surrendered too. (BIN12229)

Other Info: Brutus is a large sized Sealed Flashy Brindle male. He is an active young Boxer who gets bored and needs exercise to burn off his excess energy. The owners are not home enough to give him the time he needs due to their active careers. He has chewed on some things in their home but exercise, training and maturity will take care of that. He does great in his crate but is in there too much, often 10 hours a day. Lots of kisses and some jumping, lots of leaning into me. Very sweet. I would think a dog savvy 6 year old would be fine. He would probably knock down younger kids. House and crate trained. Really good for baths and grooming, loves the water, Good with nail trims, he just watches. He enjoys walks and likes to play fetch with the ball in yard. He is a high energy dog. Could not really get him to play at this visit, he was way more interested in getting attention. Not possessive with toys - I grabbed toys and his food and he was not bothered at all. No formal training, but they have worked with him at home. Good on leash: he pulls a little at the start of the walk is perfect by the end of the walk. He digs in the yard when bored. Chases squirrels, probably would not do well with cats. Our volunteer that met him felt he might be a tad overweight at 92 pounds but his vet says he is not overweight and just a big boy! He has some long legs, that he is still clumsy with but has developed a lot of muscle too from being taken on rollerblading excursions. He has no health issues and has been loved and well taken care of. He is dog friendly, lovable and never aggressive. Brutus was on our page last year but the owners decided to keep him and try to work on his issues. They now wish to surrender again in order to see him go to an active family that can meet his needs.

Other Info: Riley is a 2 to 3 year old 62 lb neutered male being surrendered by his owner. His owner travels too much to devote the time he should to Riley and is about to start traveling more. At night he keeps the dog at home, during the day he takes him to the car shop, and he's sometimes free to roam around. They do leash him with a choke collar because he likes to chase motorcycles.

He gave me lots of kisses! He is house trained. He has only been crated once, so probably not crate trained. They have given him baths with a hose, never in a tub or shower. He gets no exercise, no walks. Gets exercise only when free to roam at the shop or when playing with a friend's female lab. He is high energy, but responds to commands. He is good on a leash and knows "sit" and "down." He is not possessive about anything and does not mind things being taken away from him. He loves to be with his people and loves attention.

He gets along with females dogs for sure. He is up to date on vaccinations and is on HWP. He doesn't like things that move too much.
