Story
Meet Lauryn Hill, the hip hop Princess. 🎼🎤Brethren...Sistren...Guys, you know you better...watch out....It seemed she lost the game before she even started to play (IYKYK)...This sweet mama came to us via a craigslist post where she was being given away as a young pregnant mama. One of our fosters saw the post and offered to take her in. Once safe in the hands of Boxers and Buddies and her Foster mom's care, she gave birth to 7 perfect little pups. Lauryn's hip hop wonder pups are now 5 weeks old and are starting to no longer need their mama, which means that she will soon be looking for a home of her own. She is currently living in a home with several other dogs of varying sizes and cats. She is a bit nervous around her foster's brother, but she is working with a trainer to find some confidence around him. We believe Lauryn to be a 2 year old pit mix. She will be spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped by the end of next week. If you are interested in meeting Lauryn Hill, please fill out an adoption application at Boxersandbuddies.comWe require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Story
Jaya is an amazing survivor. He was likely hit by a car. Then, found hiding in the bushes of a drive thru, people took a picture and posted it to social media instead of stopping to help. It took hours for a rescuer to find him and save him.Once he was safe, he was taken to the shelter for care and treatment. X-rays showed a broken leg and pelvis. Due to the grave extent of his injuries, he had only 48 hours to be pulled from the shelter of he would be euthanized. Boxers and Buddies pulled out all the stops: We found transport to a local airport, a pilot that would volunteer to fly him to Truckee, another volunteer that would drive to Truckee to bring him to Reno, yet ANOTHER volunteer that would foster him and get him to Animal Emergency Center to be seen and evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.Within 5 days of being found, Jaya was the recipient of a $6,000 surgery that would help him once again be able to walk. Jaya has the most wonderful temperament. He is a calm, but affectionate puppy. His little puppy heart wants nothing more than to be a normal puppy. He is doing so well after his surgery. He is getting stronger every day, increasing his range of motion, and is learning how to navigate the world pain-free.He has been wonderful in every situation that he has been in. He wants to be BFFs with every person and everything he meets. He has best friend doggy friends, best friend kid friends, and best friend adult friends. I have yet to see him meet someone where he is not there instant BFF. He would be BFFs with a lamp if he could! Any of Jaya’s follow up treatments and physical therapy will be covered by the rescue. He would love to find a home of his own where he can recover and grow. As he ages, he may have arthritis and a limp, but the surgeon doesn’t expect any further complications.If you are interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, fill out an adoption application today!We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Story
Tyler would like to discuss something with you. He would like to give you three reasons why he is a good dog and should be home for the holidays. 1. He is thoughtful. If you give him a treat he will consider the gift and take it slowly and graciously. 2. He is a big fan of belly rubs and he understands that after a long day at work the best stress relief is to rub the belly of a grateful dog. Tyler is willing to provide this needed service. 3. Finally, everyone knows that having a dog reduces a person's stress level. With the holiday's approaching, Tyler wants your stress level to be at a minimum...and the way to do that is to Adopt Him!

Hello from the O.G. That's me D.O.G. I am a guy looking for a place to retire. I am young at heart, as you can see from my videos. "Let's Get This Party Started" is my motto. Love water and squeaky toys. I sit and take treats like a champ. Car rides are my fav and I love to have my head out the window for all the smells. I am a huge fan of kids but a bit picky about dogs...some are a yes and some are just a pain. Being picky comes as a reward of getting older. LOL. Give me great people and a place to nap and lay in the sun and I will be the best doggo in the land. Long walks and a ball to play with also would be great...simple guy! Easy to please that is me.

Story
Zora is a spunky young female boxer. She came into rescue from a local shelter, and before that she lived her entire life in a fenced yard with her littermate.Zora is very playful and exuberant, and loves all kinds of toys. But the thing she loves most is being petted and snuggling with her dog brothers and foster humans.She is completely housetrained, rides perfectly in the car, and walks well on leash with no pulling (see below for exceptions). Zora is working on her house manners and crate training but is extremely bright and learns quickly.Because she wasn't exposed to other dogs and new people, she is reactive to both. However, she can be redirected using treats and responds well to praise. Zora would do best with a well-adjusted/socialized male dog. She loves rough housing with the foster family's 80lb American Bully mix, and is fine with their older male Pug (Zora is somewhat more interested in playing with him than he is in playing with her [🙂] ).The foster family doesn't have any cats or smaller pets, but Zora has shown some prey drive when on hikes. This indicated that she may not be ok with smaller pets, birds, or cats. Dog-savvy, respectful children should not be an issue.Boxer experience (specifically female/puppy) highly recommended. Well-adjusted/socialized male dog of similar size required. Zora will require obedience/behavior training to address her reactivity as specified in the adoption contract.If you are interested in meeting or adopting Zora, please fill out an adoption application!We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Betty is a complete mess! But she is so special and personable, she is the most beautiful soul - inside as well as out.Betty was scheduled for euthanasia. For no reason other than a skin condition. She was missing 90% of her fur, itchy, covered in wounds and scabs. She is looking and doing better, she is on a hypoallergenic food and sees a doggie dermatologist to see if there is anything else we should or could be doing for her. She loves cuddles and bum scratches and is looking forward to having her own fur back so she no longer has to wear sweaters and coats!Betty is so special and personable, she is the most beautiful soul - inside as well as out.Betty was scheduled for euthanasia.

Bigger dogs I'm learning to get along with but I'm picky. I love my fresh fruit and veggies as I love food but I have certain allergies to things. I'm working on growing out my hair slowly I'm just a little prickly but I love having my shirts and sweaters for winter as they help me look beautiful, don't let that scare you that I'm a little bald. I walk well on the leash unless I get excited then I tend to pull towards what I want. I would love to find a home where I'm the only one who gets attention as I do get a little jealous but I can share if I have to.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.
