NJBR Happy Endings Page

If you have adopted a dog from NJBR and would like to share your happy ending, please send a photo and a small write-up to the webmaster.

JoJo

Here are some pictures of JOJO hope you all enjoy the pictures as much as we love JOJO. He is very active....he loves to walk me. Always willing to play ball and tug of war. JoJo is aspiring to become a lap dog......all 60+ pounds of him. Recently he has climbed up onto of mommy when she is watching the news or a movie because he wants ALL the attention, and don't stop rubbing my head and hind end or I will lick you until you’re soaked........ He absolutely loves riding in the car. Needless to say....JOJO is a keeper!!! JOJO has stolen our heart and found a home.

	Jeter This is our beloved Jeter who we adopted in early September. I cannot say enough about this wonderful boy! In traditional boxer fashion, he absolutely loves to give out kisses and is most content snuggling up next to one of us on the couch or bed. Although he really enjoys his walks on the beach and to the park, as well as playing with us in the yard, he is generally a very laid back guy, and prefers to be inside lazing around next to his family or playing with his bone or stuffed animals. When we adopted him, we were advised that his family gave him up because he kept marking inside the house and they were unable to break him of this. However, since the day he came home with us, I am proud to say, not a single episode of urinating has occurred. He is the model of good behavior all around. No destructive behaviors, minimal barking, just a great big mush and we couldn't love him more! Out family can not thank NJ Boxer Rescue enough for the gift of Jeter!
	Zoe (Meesha) We adopted Meesha (now Zoe) in October and she is doing fabulous! There is no lack of attention for Zoe - between our 9 year old boxer Ernie and our son and daughter she always can find someone to cuddle or play with! Our son absolutely adores her and makes "cat sounds" to get her to follow him around the house. I would think she would enjoy a break from an active 5 year old boy, but when he goes to bed she follows in to cuddle with him. Her leg is healing nicely. She will be followed at University of Penn at least until March when she will be a year old. We are optimistic that she will continue to improve and not need surgery Thank you NJ Boxer Rescue - Zoe is a great addition to our family, she obviously fits right in!! New Owner: Lauren & Brian
	Duke Duke is doing just fine after 2 weeks you would think he has lived with us for years, Marie and I just love him and god he knows it LOL , he is good while we are at work, and being a young boy I get boxer wiggles for like 15 minutes when I get home along with a lot of kisses. New Owner: Lou

	Dempsey I can't believe I have only had Dempsey for over a month now. It feels like he has been my dog forever! I couldn't have asked for a better boxer. He fits right in at the local dog park, where he gets to go every day, and has even made other boxer friends who he greets at the gates. Dempsey and I go everywhere together, and he even seems to enjoy his weekly training classes. I look forward to the years ahead with Dempsey! New Owner: Lindsey
	Bailey We adopted Bailey in August 2006. We absolutely adore her and just could not imagine our lives without her now. She is the sweetest, most gentle boxer and she brings us so much happiness. Thank you to Greta, Ellen and Vicki for everything that you did to help us. New Owners: John & Jillian
	Henna & Zeus We adopted Henna in August and Zeus in April (2 on the left with natural ears). We now have 4 boxers in our home and life couldn't be better. Henna was surrendered to a shelter in north Jersey and was brought in with a euthanasia request. She is approximately 10 years old (although she acts half that). Thankfully the shelter couldn't do it because she was a gentle, sweet dog and they contacted NJBR. We had to keep Henna separated for a few weeks from our other dogs because she was not properly socialized in her past. To look at her now, you'd never know it. Zeus was surrendered to NJBR by his home because they did not have time for him anymore. What a love he has been from the minute he walked into this house. He's the youngest at 2 years old and he keeps the other 3 seniors going! They are the best of friends and have to be everywhere together. There is nothing better than giving a rescue dog a second chance. No doubt our two rescues are living life now the way they deserve and we love it! New Owners: Chris & Pete
	Lexi We have had the joy of having Lexi in our lives since April 2007. Every day that we have had with her has been nothing but sheer happiness. She is the most gentle, lovable, and well-behaved girl and is WONDERFUL with our 2 small children. Lexi has truly made our family complete.....we could not imagine our lives without her! NJ Boxer Rescue is such a terrific organization, and everyone who is a part of it defines what special people REALLY are. We want to say a special thanks to Regan for fostering Lexi and to Chris for helping us find the perfect match for our family!!! New Owners: Kathleen, George & Family
	Cody We adopted Cody in July of 2004. We knew we wanted a boxer due to their loving, sweet nature and how lovable they are with Children. We were so impressed with the thorough adoption process and were especially pleased with how the adoption process was handled. When Cody first pranced through our door with his foster mom Tracy, my husband and I knew immediately that he was the special addition we needed for our home. What a ham we encountered. Of course he was scared and timid but we knew he was comfortable with the surroundings. I told my husband that I loved him already and he was the dog for us. Three years later we love this little man more than life. He is our best bud, our protector and our companion. Every day is planned around him and how we can give him the best life possible. We enjoy every moment of our time with him from watching TV, long walks and night night time, which when said he runs to the stairs. We have learned to live with his loud snoring and consistent overtake of our sleeping space! Thank you so much NJBR for enriching us with such a fun loving, wonderful playmate who brings us much joy and happiness everyday! We love him so much! New Owners: Jennifer & Robert
	Baxter We adopted Baxter at the end of January 2007. He has been an absolute joy for us and our other boxer Lola. They play together, sleep together and are 100% inseparable. Since we adopted Baxter he has gained over 13lbs and is looking as healthy as ever. He is just the cutest little thing with his giant droopy jowls. And he is definitely a "Mama's Boy." We just wanted to say thank you to the NJBR and we looking forward to adopting a boxer from you in the future. New Owners: Brian & Stephanie
	Kano We have had Kano for over a year now and he is the greatest gift we could have ever given to our kids. We will never have any other dog but a boxer and Kano reassures us that they are by far the greatest family members you could ever ask for. Thank you NJBR. New Owners: Jim, Donna, Dominick, Juli & Nicky
	Madison It is hard to believe that Madison has been with us for 2 months. She is a real joy and we love her dearly. She still talks and barks a lot but we are working on it closely. Next week she will start formal training classes. My daughter has worked with her but we felt for socialization she should attend some classes. She gets along well with all the other dogs in our family. We had everyone's dogs here while they were on vacation and Madison thoroughly enjoyed herself. She loved running and playing with each and everyone. We will keep you up-to-date on her progress. Thanks again for such a wonderful dog and all your help in getting her. New Owners: Dorothy & Family
	Rosie (Lady Ro) Rosie (formerly known as Lady Ro) came to live with us exactly two weeks after our beloved Sidda died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage. Rosie had big shoes to fill. She has been a wonderful addition to our lives. Rosie has very interesting idiosyncrasies. She barks like mad when someone approaches our home, serving as a great security system. But then she retreats under our bed when the “perpetrator” actually enters the house! She LOVES to go for rides, but insists on curling in a little ball by passengers’ feet, rather than sitting on a comfortable seat. She snores, dominates our bed and has a complete wiggle fest when any of us returns home, practically bending in two! The most lovable thing about her is the way that she instantly accepted our cat, Maya, who had been Sidda’s best friend. Rosie had never lived with a cat and we took a deep breath and adopted her, realizing that our lives might be CRAZED for a while, integrating our two animals. She made it so easy. She loved Maya from Day One and they are best friends, sleeping together and partying, I am sure, when we are not at home. In this photo, Rosie shares her beloved food with Maya! New Owners: Maribeth, Paul, Peter & Catherine
	Rocky (Chopper) We adopted Rocky two months ago and he has already brought us so much happiness. He is always making us laugh. He was very skinny when we brought him home but after treating him for whip worm and giving him plenty of food, treats and TLC he has gained some weight and is looking very handsome. He is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. He has made a few dog friends as well. He loves going for walks and rides in the car and he's even starting jogging. So far he has adjusted well to his new life. We look forward to many wonderful years having him as part of our family. We would like to thank everyone at NJBR for bringing Rocky and us together. New Owners: Tracy & Ron
	Ruby Ruby is ten and she plays like she is a pup. A lot of people may have reservations about adopting a senior dog, and we just want to speak on behalf of those older dogs who need good homes. Ruby is the greatest dog we have ever had. She is the sweetest, most lovable dog that we have ever met. During the course of a person's life they can enjoy the lives of many good dogs, however dog's don't have that much time and sometimes they aren't able to share their lives with good people especially for senior dogs who are rescued at an older age. I really recommend adopting an older dog. Ruby is an absolute blessing and we fell in love with her the first day we had brought her home. If you feel that you would be a good match for a senior dog it's a great opportunity to give back to these dogs so they can find what they have been missing all along. New Owners: Laurie & Alex
	Salem (Tyson) My name is Salem (formerly Tyson) and I've been with my forever family for 2 weeks now. I just love my new parents! They take me lots of cool places like Joey's Dog Boutique, the park, and tons of walks. I was a little nervous at first going to a new home, but not anymore. I've settled right in and now Mommy and Daddy call me a "love bug". I have lots of fun toys to play with, although I prefer just to sleep with them. Lots of visitors have come over to meet me and give me pets....which is fine by me. I get lots of love from everybody I meet! Thank you NJ Boxer Rescue for taking me in and to Regan, Kerry and Mike for helping me to find a family that loves me soooooo much. LIFE IS GOOD! New Owners: Robin & Dean
	Murphy (Coors) Meet Fynn and Murphy (formerly Coors). They are our dynamic duo of mischief, but they make us laugh and smile every day. We adopted Murphy (on the right) in August after several months of looking for a second dog. It took a while to find the right dog, but we are so glad we waited for Murphy! He and Fynn got along instantly and if they're not playing tug-of-war, then they're sleeping on the couch together. Life has definitely gotten more exciting since we adopted Murphy, but we couldn't imagine it any other way. ^_^ Thank you Kerry, Denise, and Barb for your patience and help finding this great dog! New Owners: Michelle & Mike
	Penny We've had Penny almost a month now and we have thoroughly enjoyed having her as a part of our family! Any reservations we had about an older dog, a female dog, or getting a second boxer, disappeared within the first day that Penny was with us. She is a sweet, smart girl and looks at us with what can only be described as gratefulness in her eyes whenever we pet her! We are so glad we found her when we did! A special thank you to Nancy Rolf for giving Penny such a wonderful and loving foster home. Also, thanks to Denise Werner for making the adoption process such a pleasant experience. Penny's bio said, "Whoever decides to adopt Penny, I can guarantee, will not be disappointed. She is everything anyone could ever hope to have in 'man's best friend'." We couldn't agree more! New Owners: The Miller Family
	Bella "Emma" We just love our New Puppy Bella (Emma) She fits right in with our gang. We have a place down the shore and she loves riding in the golf cart and visiting with all the kids and other dogs. She is so well behaved. She loves giving us kisses and loves to play catch. We can’t imagine our life without her. She has stolen our hearts!! She loves laying at the foot of our chinchilla cage and just watches them for hours on end. She puts her nose up to the cage and wiggles her tail when they come to her. She is a wonderful addition to our family and we just love love love her so much!! We want to thank the New Jersey Boxer Rescue for helping us find our precious pup and taking such good care of her until she found her forever home with us!!! New Owners: George, Debi & Family
	Gracie Kay "Rainey" Gracey Kay (formerly "Rainey") has quickly adapted to her new, loving home. We couldn't have asked for better dog. She is the most loving and cuddly dog we have ever seen. She will press her chest against you so that you know she's in need of a hug. She also rests her head on your lap when she wants a scratch. We are so grateful to have her!! She's the perfect addition to our family. New Owners: Sharon & Scott
	Augie There isn’t much else to add that hasn’t been noted by all the others who have adopted a boxer through New Jersey Boxer Rescue. Augie is practically perfect. We cannot imagine how anyone could ever have let him go or how he wasn’t adopted instantly during his residence at a shelter. In any case, their loss is our gain. After several weeks of healthy living Augie has caught up on his rest and has gained several pounds so that he is now in a normal weight range. Three square meals a day and a relaxing home life have removed several years from his apparent age. He’s got the playfulness of a puppy and the attitude of a teen. We truly appreciate the professional and caring approach that all the representatives of NJBR have put forth; their sage advice has provided a genuine source of support. Our family is grateful for the opportunity to provide a home and a family for this wonderful, loving boxer! New Owners: Mary Jean & Don
	PupPup We adopted Pup Pup "Puppers" on Friday, June 29, 2007 and so far she has been an absolute doll. We love her so much and so does our other female boxer, Lucy. That's Puppers on the right. Look how happy they look together! We will continue to share our photos with New Jersey Boxer Rescue. Thank you Lori, Mark, Kristen & Vicki for all of your help! We just love our new family! New Owners: McDonnell Family
	Hailey Hi! I'm Hailey and I am wiped out as you can see by my picture! We were running around playing with my toys, which we do allot. I have a lot of toys, but not a favorite one. I ever like my brother's toys and he's a cat! He and I get along really well, he cries for me when my mom and dad take me for a walk. I'm really happy here. They take good care of me with all of my allergies and I'm feeling really good. They are always hugging me and my brother and giving us lots of kisses. I like that a lot. I'm so glad NJ Boxer Rescue brought us together. We all complete each other! New Owners: Elizabeth & Rich
	Zoey Hi, that's me, Zoey, on the right. I got to come and live with my mom and former "sister" Brielle 3 years ago. Mom use to call me her "little witchy girl" cause I was filled with so much Boxer mischief. I have developed all of my house manners (with just a little encouragement from mom) since those early days and now she calls me her "Little Angel." I had the time of my life moving in with my mom and "sissy" and they just loved me so much I didn't know it was possible! I didn't have the best childhood in the world but WOW did that ever change! My mom says I'm her heart and that she doesn't know what she would ever have done if we hadn't found each other! It's just fun, love, kisses, wiggles and snuggles all around! Unfortunately, my "sissy" passed away this past January. I love my mom, she loves me and we both are happier than we ever imagined we could be being a foster family for other "kids" from NJBR who we get to share our love with and who are overjoyed to love us back! What a wonderful world it is!
	Sugar Ray Sugar Ray is awesome. He fits in with our family perfect. He loves playing catch with my two boys & running around the yard. New Owners: The Waller Family
	Hera OH, MY GOODNESS!!! What more can we say. Hera is the most lovable, affectionate, well-behaved little girl anyone could ever ask for. She and our two daughters are inseparable and are the heart of our family. All she wants to do is be hugged and danced with (we actually thought about changing her name to ABBA, for she is our Dancing Queen). We can't imagine life without her. She has us smiling all day long!!! Thank God for the volunteers at the New Jersey Boxer Rescue. You probably are not told enough, but it is because of you, that Hera and many other boxers find out that there truly are happy endings!!! Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives. New Owners: Judy & Danielle
	Layla We aren't to sure how we lasted 2 and a half years with just one boxer. Layla was a perfect addition to our family. We still can't understand how this sweet friendly little girl survived by herself on the mean streets of Jersey City. Her older brother Magner welcomed her with wiggles and kisses, now they are inseparable. Laying on their dad's chair after some playtime is their most favorite thing in the world to do. Even better when dad is already laying there too. They share toys, food, naps and walk perfectly on the leash together. Apparently Layla is also a big hit at ALL Good Dogs Day Care, just like her older brother. A big thank you to Pam and Barb , and everyone at NJ boxer rescue for introducing us to our little Layla Jane. New Owners: Rob & Tracey
	Jersey This is Jersey & Jada, the inseparable sisters. We got Jersey last September from the Boxer Rescue as a playmate for Jada. Lots of thanks to Denise, Cindy & all the volunteers for all they do. Grazie! New Owners: Linda & Lou
	Harley Harley (formerly Trinidad) has been with me for 6 months. I can't imagine a day without him. He is the most wonderful boxer boy. Many thanks to Vickie for all the help she gave me, foster mom Amanda for all the months of loving care she gave Harley and NJ Boxer Rescue for saving him from that shelter.
	Duke Duke became a member of our family on December 24th. Once we got home Bella welcomed him with tons of happy boxer wiggles and barks. After she gave him a tour of the house, they boxed for a few minutes and then they both took a nap. On Christmas morning, they opened toys from Santa. Bella had to help Duke, he was just carrying around his wrapped toys! It didn't take long for Dukes' true boxer personality to come out in full force. Duke and Bella get along wonderfully, they play, box and sleep together. Duke LOVES to snuggle with Frank, Bella & I on the couch. He is such a love and wonderful addition to our growing family! New Owners: Frank & Abby
	Spike After spending months in a shelter, NJBR took possession of Spike. He was scared, thin and in need of some TLC. Look at this handsome boy only a few months after being adopted by his forever home! New Owners: Rick & Chris
	Zues Zues is currently enjoying his new family.
	Elliot We absolutely LOVE Elliot.. He is a great addition to our family of boxers. He gets along so well with the other two boxers because he's so laid back, we could all learn a lot from him, lol. Thank you for doing what you do at NJ Boxer Rescue- we had an outstanding experience with you, and now we have a GREAT dog to show for it. New Owners: Jeff & Sharon
	Gus The Pup Here are all the boys in the household all pooped on a Saturday night. Gus came to us from NJ Boxer Rescue at about 6 months old. He fit right in with his brothers Oscar the boxer, Morty the Cow Dog and his friends up and down the street. He is having a very good life here. Thanks NJ Boxer Rescue, keep up the good work. New Owners: Ryki & Family
	Riley First, I wanted to thank everyone at Boxer Rescue for being so accommodating and amazing. This whole experience has been just delightful and I can’t imagine it having gone easier. The thoroughness of your process made me confident that I would have your support throughout Riley’s life and has made me want to be more active in Boxer Rescue in my own. As I write this, Riley and Madeleine are rolling around on the couch together, nibbling on one another and biting one another’s ankles, their tails wagging furiously. They each seem to take turns being a bit dominant and submissive (though I think Riley gets the best of her often.) They walk beautifully together and are pretty famous. I took Riley for a walk without Madeleine for the first time the other night and when I came back about twenty minutes later, Madeleine greeted us at the door. Normally, she runs to me and is all over me. However, this time, she jumped on Riley with great relief and ignored me entirely. I honestly can’t imagine my home without him. New Owner: Ryan
	Louie I don't know how to thank to NJBR specially to Denise, Donna and Cindy for this gift of love that is Louie. When I called Denise I had just had a very disappointing experience with another rescue group. To make a long story short in about 2 weeks I was being introduced to Louie, the cutest most loving Boxer I have ever seen. He and my other Boxer Oscar never had one incident since the first day Louie came to our house. They eat, sleep and follow me around the house together. They share everything without any problem or aggression. Louie is nice to the cat also. I can't say enough about these ladies and the wonderful work they do. They really found the perfect dog for my family and we couldn't love him more. New Owners: The Rerecich Family
	Jersey Hi! My name is Jersey Burkhardt, I was adopted from the boxer rescue when I was 8 weeks old. I had a birthday in December and I turned one year old. We had a birthday party for me complete with vanilla cupcakes. my brother and I had a blast. i would like to tell you about my brother his name is Petey, he also came from the boxer rescue. we lived together happily, every day and shared everything. Petey became very sick and he hasn't been back since. I know he is never coming back and I miss him terribly. i have sent a picture of both of us, last year when I was really little and my brother was still healthy. thank you, boxer rescue for placing me in a wonderful home. New Owners: Amy & Family
	Isabell Isabell came to us skinny, with some poor skin conditions, and more than a little fearful of strangers, men in particular. She was full of love, especially for the girls, and she has just wiggled her way into our hearts. Even when she is naughty, which I must admit isn't as rare as we would like, my girls will say, "that's ok, we love you anyway Izzy!" and give her a great big hug. We fight over who she sleeps with. We fight over who feeds her. We fight over who gets to walk her; over what new toys she will have; over who gets to do her training; who gets to brush her; sit by her in the car, reward her with her favorite treats. Sometime I wonder how my family made it so long without a boxer and then I know... we were just waiting for Miss Isabell. She is the perfect dog for us. She is sweet and patient. She gives just the right amount of kisses. She knows which one of us likes to toss the ball, who likes to play the tugging game, and who is best for a wrestle on the floor. She is the perfect snuggle buddy at night and the best walking partner around the neighborhood. She is our companion, our friend, our protector. Isabell makes us get outside on sunny days to play and never lets us be lazy. She seems to know what is good for us. Having her has just been the best thing to happen to us an we can't then NJBR enough for finding us the perfect little wiggle-butt to complete our family. New Owners: Michelle, Ira, Erin & Haley
	Deuce He has won our hearts and is a loving part of our family. Thanks for all you do for these dogs, Deuce truly deserved a happy home and thanks to NJ Boxer Rescue he has one! New Owners: Susan & David
	Sammy This is Sammy, adopted in 2006, now enjoying his new family and boxer sister Bella. New Owners: Jody & Keith
	Hurley This is Hurley, adopted in 2006, now enjoying her family. New Owners: Dan & Krista
	Jodi I can't believe Jodi has been with us for so long. It took no time at all for Jodi to adjust to her new home where she has plenty of room to run around in the yard. She is very spoiled. Joe and I both look forward to coming home and being greeted by Jodi. We get lots of wiggles and kisses. I still can't believe how lucky we are to have found her with the help of NJBR. New Owners: Joe & Adrienne
	Pippen Pippen (formerly Peanut) came to us very shy and uneasy not weighing enough and her coat not nice at all. She didn’t have a great life before and while she liked to be around people you could see she was not completely trusting of them. Fast forward the 4 months we have had Pippen and she is a completely different dog. She goes to my parents house everyday while we are at work (my dad is retired) and her and Sophie run around the house and the backyard playing with their toys. Pippen likes to stick to her routine and still follows me from room to room, we call her shadow, but she is a very happy, healthy, and nice looking dog (she gets compliments on her coat from strangers). My husband and I love her to death and our parents love her too!! Even when she does something she shouldn’t she has that very innocent look that doesn’t let you stay angry at her. I thank Cindy who helped us try and find the right match and she couldn’t have picked a better fit for us! New Owners: Gino & Christine
	Cyris We love having Cyris be a part of our family. He completes us. Thank you to Denise for her quick response on meeting with us for approval and for following up with us. Thank you to Dawn for giving our baby a loving and caring home and choosing us to give him his forever home and keeping in touch. We are truly blessed and are fortunate to have Cyris in our lives. Thank you to everyone with NJBR for the volunteer work you do for the loving boxers who all deserve loving and caring homes. Your hard work is very much appreciated!!!
	Tai This is Tai, formerly Tiger. She has been with our family for one year and has been a blessing to us. Tai loves to run and play in her yard. Everyone who meets her, adores her. She is my little girl. Thanks to NJ Boxer Rescue for finding the perfect companion for us. New Owners: Joe, Maureen, Joseph, David, Matthew & Stephen
	Anna & King As soon as the dogs stepped in the house, we knew that they were meant to live with us. They were great with the kids and Dawn talked with us for hours about the dogs and their needs. She then took Anna and King back home and when they left we missed them as if they had always been there. First thing the next morning, I called Dawn and told her we wanted to adopt both the dogs. Our intention was never to get two dogs, but we fell in love the first moment they came into our home and could not imagine life without them now. We adopted Anna and King 6 months ago and we love them both so much. They are an important part of our family and we are so happy they came into our lives. New Owners: Diane & Family
	Dozer Hard to believe it's been almost 1-year since I brought Dozer home. I'm happy to report that's he's now a well adjusted, happy member of our family. His fear of loud engine noises has disappeared when he's on our walks. Food aggression is non-existent. He's learned to play with a few toys, but runs if they're thrown toward him which leads me to believe that he may have been physically abused in the past. For the same reason he won't play catch. Maybe he was never introduced to toys when he was younger. We're still waiting for the new dog park to open 2 blocks from where we live so that will be nice for him. Also, we'll soon be able to take long walks on the beach again, Dozer loves the beach! New Owner: Evan
	Sweetie The Boxer Rescue People brought to my husband and me, the love our lives, Sweetie. How did we ever live without her? A character she is, Everyone knows her and not one person does not love her when they encounter the happy dance and the wiggles and most of all the licks. On your worse day, Sweetie can make you feel like a million dollars. We had the greatest experience with the Rescue People. We just cannot say enough about the Boxer Rescue and all of the wonderful people who do this out of the kindness of their hearts. New Owners: Barbara & John
	Scoop Scoop is just wonderful, happy, gaining weight, enjoying the weather and really becoming a Big part of the family. I never thought that we would recover from the loss of Joe Boxer....But thanks to Scoop everyone is Happy again! Thank-you and everyone at NJ boxer rescue. New Owners: Peggy & Mike
	Lucky From and inner city shelter.. to Home Sweet Home: We love Lucky so much!!! He is such a clown! He brings smile to our faces every time we look at him. He just learned how to give his paw when he wants something! Amber & Lucky get along great, just sometimes they don't know when to stop when playing. Lucky starts his basic obedience on Sept. 16th, I am looking forward to it. It's going to be so much fun! Thanks for giving us this little boy! New Owners: Elmer, Iwona & Amber
	Cassie Cassie is my adorable, deaf, white Boxer. I wanted to adopt her so my Boxer/Golden Retriever, Maggie, wouldn't be lonely when I am not home. I also read that when dogs grow up with other dogs in the house, they tend to be happier, healthier, get more exercise and live longer. Who would have thought that I would get so lucky to find Cassie on the NJ Boxer Rescue website. I was a little nervous about adopting a deaf dog but it has been just fine. She looks up to Maggie and follows her lead. We have been working on signs for the basic commands and she is doing very well. She has been a part of our family for a month now. We absolutely love her and I can't imagine life without her. Maggie and Cassie compliment each other and get along so well, people think they grew up together. Thank you Cindy and NJ Boxer Rescue!! New Owner: Heather
	Oscar We would like to thank all the volunteers who save these wonderful animals and allow them to become integral members of so many families. If you have a chance to adopt a boxer, you will receive more unconditional love than you can ever imagine…give it a chance; we did, and we can’t imagine our family without Oscar! New Owners: Sara, Dan, Julie & Sam
	Jayda & Tino Since Tino came from NJBR and they were so wonderful to us, we began searching the website and talking with the rescue ladies. They found our little Jayda this past April. From the first time they met, they acted like brother and sister. Jayda was very timid and uncertain about playtime & toys; but now she is a very playful, happy little girl. My favorite activity to watch is when each of them has an end of the tug-toy and they walk down the hall together. They are so precious!! The kids (our boxers) spend all their time together and our Tino has not has a panic attack or accident since Jayda came to live with us. Jayda has gained ten pounds since she is with us and is doing very well. We love both our kids very much, they complete each other & our family! New Owners: Jimmy & Erica
	Powder I think the NJ Boxer rescue was the most well organized rescue I've come across. Our two dogs act like they were born together. They are perfect buddies and love to sleep together. Sometimes we catch Wasabi with his arm around Powder when they're sleeping. How cute!!! Powder is your typical boxer very energetic and playful, Wasabi sometimes can't keep up. We already looked up a boxer rescue in Florida, where we are moving, because we had such a good experience with your organization. New Owners: Mary Ellen & Vince
	Beavis Our family recently welcomed a wonderful Senior Boxer into our home and family - and are we glad we did! Beavis, our 10 year old Male Boxer, is an absolute joy to have around.... He is so patient with our two children, who adore him to no end!. "Beavis" is just a big mush and a real clown. He is also a pretty smart guy - we now actually have to spell the word "walk" when he's around, because as soon as he hears the actual word, he goes into his twirling wiggle dance because he knows he's heading out. For anyone who is considering a Boxer, please consider a Senior these are such gentle old souls that deserve happy golden years. A big thank you to the fine folks at NJ Boxer Rescue for volunteering their time and efforts to caring for all these boxers, and for bringing Beavis into our lives! New Owners: Robert & Julie
	Paulie Paulie is having a great time in his new home. He runs zoomies around the hayfields and has great boxing matches with his new big sister Roxanne. He even plays with his new little sister Ellie Crumbles the Chihuahua. You can always find him in his favorite spot on the couch! He has gained almost 20 lbs since he was rescued. He loves everyone he meets and everyone he meets loves him! He has been a great addition to our family! We couldn't have asked for a better buddy! New Owners: Amy & Rich
	Tya Tya is doing great. She is loving the backyard and the snow we've had. She entertains herself when Tyson is too tired to play. She has put on weight, so now no more bones. She is just the sweetest little girl. I think she is finally understanding our routine. She follows us everywhere. New Owner: Oliuska
	Zoey Zoey is wonderful. She is my little sweetheart and Baloo's soul mate. They are the ying and yang of dogs. They eat, sleep and play together every minute of the day. Never a growl or a cross look. My boys adore her and even carry her around the house like she is a baby. Her only problem is she tends to be too protective of her family, but she listens when we tell her we are all safe. She is a cuddler and a kisser. She is wonderful on a leash. As you can see from the pictures, she was gained weight and no longer looks neglected, and, she has a nice big smile. We (especially Baloo), are very thankful that we have Zoey in our lives. New Owner: Judy
	Lexi Lexi has adapted really well to us and her new home. Her collection of toys are scattered comfortably throughout the house. Lexi makes a game of hiding her bones. She covers them or pushes her toys over top of them; then walks away and checks on them to see if they are still there. Lexi is truly a loveable Boxer. She likes to be my helper in whatever I am doing, even folding clothes. Lexi's boxer wiggle looks like she's making the "C" in YMCA. Her moment of bliss is when she snuggles in between us on the couch at night while we watch TV (or maybe it's the bed)! She is truly the best little girl! New Owners: Bernice & Vance
	Toby Toby is doing great in his new home! The first week he was a little quiet and timid, but now we can see his real personality and he is a typical bouncy boxer puppy with those great wiggles! He has gained 5 pounds so far in his first few weeks and looks better than ever. Toby is a real couch potato and wants to be touching you at all times, it's so cute. Sometimes I call him "shadow" because whenever you leave the room he goes too, even if he is in a deep sleep. He doesn't want to miss one second of what you are doing! Toby is a wonderful addition to our home and we couldn't be happier to have him in our life. New Owners: Jay & Kim
	Petey We were a bit nervous having another dog enter our home. We were unsure how she would handle the situation...she was the baby of the house since she was 8 weeks old. But, the second Petey entered our lives...it has been great. The NJBR placed the best dog in our home. Both dogs are inseparable and we are so happy with our new addition.
	Colby First we need to thank Greta for helping us find a wonderful match for our family, we adopted Colby a little over four months ago to be a companion to our 11 year old Sheppard. When he first got here he was shy, but settled right in. He is a big lover! Colby loves to give kiss to us and his new brother Buster. He loves to run around the yard with a basketball in his mouth, it is his favorite toy. We love having him as part of of our family! New Owners: Barbara & Dave
	Rocky Rocky is doing great. He loves the beach, and is quite good on the trails too, only running on a leash. I am attaching two pictures of us during the snow from last week. At first he didn't like the snow, but once he realized it wouldn't hurt him he absolutely loved it. New Owner: Ben
	Lola Here's a picture of me cheering on my biggest sister in a horseback riding competition. I'm wearing her team's colors. My family always takes me with them to horse competitions because I'm so well behaved, and I always end up being the center of attention because I am just so adorable! New Owners: Donna & Family
	Brooke We've been doing great together. Brooke does a little tap dance when we get home from work-adorable. For Christmas she got a snuggly dog bed that she loves and now sleeps next to the bed. She does come up to give us a wake-up snuggle at around 6:30am-great during the week, not so cute on the weekend! She's made this "couple" into a little family. New Owners: Lori & Mark
	Narky When we brought Narky home, he was pretty tuckered out. But Guinness had to play with him to welcome him! Since then, they've adjusted well to each other. Narky follows everything Guinness does. Unless they're playing chase outside - then Guinness can't keep up! He's decided to sleep on Guinness's bed instead of the one we got him, but it's okay because Guinness just sleeps on the new bed! We love having him as part of the family! New Owners: Rob & Amanda

Baron

We were lucky enough to adopt Baron from NJBR about two years ago. She was 8 years old at the time and passed away in December. But, not before being showered with love and affection everyday of her life. She was such a wonderful dog that we completely adored. Baron was gentle, affectionate, funny and had those awesome boxer wiggles and gave great hugs. She added something to our lives that is hard to describe and she will always be with us. We are grateful to NJBR for bringing Baron to us and for their great advice and support In memory of Baron and our incredible experience in knowing her, we will always foster, adopt and contribute toward the care of senior boxers.
