My story

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

This little Penguin waddled in to Boxers and Buddies with her litter of 1 day old pups. The reality of the shelter is heartbreaking enough without being a mama-to-be.

We desperately tried to get her safe before she gave birth, but we were too late. Penguin gave birth to 10 puppies while in a cold, outdoor cage.

Puppies don't make their own body heat and this situation was deadly to 4 of the puppies. We are heartbroken that we couldn't save them all but 6 baby Penguins and mama are safe and warm.

Penguin is an American bully/staffordshire terrier mix. She is 2 1/2 years old. She is a good girl who needs someone to teach her some confidence and who is willing to spend quality time with her. Someone who works from home, is retired, or can take her to work with them would be best. She would do better as an only dog, but can do well with a submissive male counterpart. Please fill out an application if interested and want to learn more.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

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.
