My story

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

Meet our litter…the Bucket Pups:

These little cuties joined the B&B team after they were originally found dumped in a bucket in an alley and then taken to Stanislaus's shelter in California. We immediately responded and they were transported in no time at all! Please help us welcome our Mario Party who we believed to be chihuahua mixes. If you are interested in meeting Mario, please fill out an application.

Update:
Then, to everyone's surprise, the story continues with unexpected DNA results and on a recent Tongue-in-cheek Boxers and Buddies Social Media Post:

Reason number 1,293 for dumping dog(s)
Breeder: “I breed purebred Xolos (hairless dogs), and this litter has fur! I can’t possibly sell these!” Dumps dogs in the alleyway of a kill shelter in a bucket.

Science: Xolos come in hairless and hair versions in small, medium, and large sizes.
Boxers and Buddies: “We will take these pups. Wondering what they are.” Does DNA test…“PUREBRED XOLOS!” “What?!?! there’s no way these chiweenies are purebred xolos.” Repeats DNA test. Second result: “PUREBRED XOLOS!!!” 😳 “We have a litter of purebred hairy, hairless dogs…” 😳

The Meta AI reporter on the scene of the viral post discussion reports that commentators are divided on the breed of the rescued puppies, with some questioning the DNA test results indicating they are purebred Xolos. While some acknowledge Xolos can have a coated variety, others doubt the results due to the puppies' appearance and potential breeding inconsistencies. Amidst the debate, many commend Boxers and Buddies for their rescue efforts.​

They’re all very perceptive and highly food motivated so that will make their training a lot easier.

More about this rescue

Boxers and Buddies Boxer Rescue is a nonprofit organization founded in 2005. Our parent organization (the well-known Boxer Rescue Los Angeles (Boxer Rescue Fund Inc.), was founded in 1977 out of love and fierce determination by Ursula Sauthier.

Today, Boxers and Buddies provides a safe, humane sanctuary for abandoned Boxers and others who are waiting to be adopted.

Boxers and Buddies is funded solely by private donation. Our entire organization is run by a dedicated team of volunteers. Our group works for the love of the breed and to see dogs find homes.

Our available dogs come from local shelters, from the streets or from owners who turn them in. We are always filled to capacity with scared, confused and very stressed out dogs. They are with us because Boxers and Buddies is their last hope of finding a new life. We are their temporary haven until they are adopted into a loving permanent home.

Before they can be adopted, each dog is evaluated for temperament, must be sterilized, microchipped and their shots are updated. Boxers and Buddies has a training program for those dogs who need rehabilitation or have behaviors which need to be modified.

Boxers and Buddies and Boxer Rescue LA stand apart from other rescues by rescuing any Boxer, regardless of age or health. We feel that they are all worthy of a real chance at life. This policy means that we are subject to frequent and expensive veterinarian costs. Medical expenses are only one of the major cost Boxers and Buddies has to pay each year. The cost are endless: food, shelter fees, medical bills and the costs go on and on. Saving lives is not cheap but someone has to do it!

We are constantly seeking funds and support. We need your help.

We depend on our donors and our volunteers to keep B&B open to any Boxer in need. We appreciate your compassion by including a rescue Boxer into your life. Please spread the word and continue to support our efforts.
