My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Gus is a sad 65 lbs. dog from Kentucky. He is a rear end tripod. He does ok getting around but is not a walker. He is probably about 4-6 yrs. old. He has had a dental and he had some teeth removed. Other than that he seems to be really healthy. He won’t be a family dog as children would be too hard on his back. He stands about 24 inches at the shoulder. He has a nice personality and isn’t too demanding. An older couple or single older adult would be an ideal home for him. He does well with a chain link fence so he can run as he pleases. He is crate and house trained. He has a dog bed but likes to sleep wherever he decides to rest his head. The only thing bad about him is he is not cat friendly at all. Some big dogs also will create a problem for him but not always. He makes a good faithful companion to anyone who stay home a lot, or he loves to go for car rides. He is really a good pal riding shot gun. His brindle coat is hard to beat. He is a dark brown and very handsome. Just ask him he will tell you.

More about this rescue

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue is a non-profit, 100% volunteer run rescue organization serving the needs of senior boxers and providing special care for medical/behavioral cases.

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue is a 501(c)3 charity, registered with the Internal Revenue Service. Our EIN is 83-4480032. All donations are tax-free in accordance with IRS regulations.

MISSION STATEMENT

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue (RCBR) is a non-profit, all volunteer, foster-based organization dedicated to providing loving homes for Boxer dogs – especially seniors, medically challenged, and those needing to start over again in an unfamiliar world.

We offer quality care for whatever time is left; it is not about the quantity of days, but rather the amount of love that can be shared during those days.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue (RCBR) 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, receive appropriate veterinary care, 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.

We are determined to keep administrative expenses in check so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the dogs. Our organization remains committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process. Education and support will be offered to all foster, adoptive, and comfort care homes. If possible, a special scholarship program for Boxer dogs currently in loving and caring families will be utilized so the family is not forced to surrender their four-legged family member to a rescue.

RCBR recognizes that adoption alone is not the solution for overpopulation of pets. The rescue plans to work with other shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and state agencies regarding spay and neuter programs to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
