Addy: Adopted
 
 

This poor girl was found trying to crawl out of a wooded area. She was so emaciated and sickly that she couldn't stand up on her own.  A farmer carried her to his home where is feed and watered her. He called the shelter who finally  found her owner.  Her owner did not want her back. She had been nursing pups and was full of milk when the farmer found her. Her owners kept  her puppies but didn't want Addy.  Addy is 6 yrs old and has scaring on her back, possible from a cattle prod. Her hair is growing in white on these areas.  She is a very laid back and loving girl who is perfectly housetrained.  She doesn't need crated and listens very well.  Addy has been bred many times before and shows the results of continuous  breeding.  She gets along very well with other dogs and is truly remarkable.   Please check back for updates.

Donner: Adopted
 

Donner is brand new to rescue, we will be posting an update soon.

Tatum: Adopted
  

Tatum is a very sweet 2 year old girl that was found running on a very busy street. The animal shelter kept her for two weeks, but her family never came to look for her. She is very affectionate and loves to give kisses and snuggle. She must have slept in bed with her prior owner because when we say it's bedtime she jumps up in our bed! She stays in her crate when we are at work and she is housebroken. She gets along with all dogs, big or small. She loves kids and even cries at the front window when the kids across the street are out playing! Tatum does not bark, unless it is absolutely necessary. If you are looking for a young dog with lots of fun energy, but one that is already housebroken, Tatum is your girl!

Izzy:  Adopted
 
  

My name is Izzy and I am looking for a nice family that will let me sit on their laps and go everywhere with them. I am potty trained, a wonderful snuggle bug, and will stay right by your side whether we are inside or out. I just had some major dental work done and am still on medication, but I take them without a problem. My tongue always hangs out the side of my mouth, but my foster mommy thinks it's really cute. I am about 6 years old and nothing bothers me! I love kids, dogs, and even cats.

Rocco: Adopted 

  
  

This handsome boy is Rocco.  He is 1-2 yrs old.  Rocco had no ID on when picked up by Animal Control & his owner chose not to claim him.  Luckily, Rocco made it into rescue.  He weighs 55 lbs, although he could stand to gain a few more pounds  which he is working on.  Treats really motivate this guy.  He has a very calm demeanor, walks well on leash, & enjoys playing with the other boxers in his foster home.  Rocco does well with children of all ages & loves having a family to cuddle with & care for him.  He seems to know he is supposed to potty outside & goes into his crate quietly when offered a few treats.  Due to being on his own outside, he is also heartworm positive & will be receiving treatment.

•  Lacey: Adopted
  
   
   
  Lacey is approximately 2-3 years old and fully hearing. She was dumped by her owner a rural shelter without her pups. Judging by the amount of milk Lacey still had, it does not appear her puppies were properly weaned. She quickly began to form mastitis and was started on antibiotics. She was also very skinny and very dirty. Lacey’s owner truly neglected her nutritional needs and forced her to live outdoors with her pups.  Lacey has improved tremendously in the last two weeks. She is gaining weight quickly and her heavy winter coat is beginning to shed out.  Her milk is drying up and the mastitis is improving every day. She is not quite ready for adoption yet. She still needs spayed, which was put on hold because of her health issues. Lacey is expected to make a full recovery. She is learning what it means to be an inside dog and enjoying regular meals.  Lacey is crate trained and has not had any accidents in the house. She gets along great with all dogs, large and small. She likes to chase and wrestle with her foster siblings. Lacey is very cuddly and enjoys all the attention she can get. Lacey will be ready for adoption in mid April.

Layla: Adopted

  
  

Ms. Layla is a tiny little girl of no more than 30 pounds. We estimate she is between 1-2 years old. Layla had been abandoned by her owners who sentenced her to a life outdoors. She was chained to a dog house in the cold snowy weather with no food or water. Being so small and with inadequate fur to keep her warm, Layla would not have lasted long in the situation she was in. Lucky for Layla, she was saved by the local animal control in her area and is now safe in rescue. She is such a sweet girl and we’re still getting to know her. She gets along well with the small dogs in her foster home and is doing great with her potty training. She does not mind being crated and walks well on a leash. Actually you could describe her walk as more of a PRANCE…she is such a cute little girl.

Bo Didley: Adopted
  

Hey there.  Bo Didley here.  I am a beautiful 5-6 month old boxer boy.  I am going to be a big boy, I certainly have the feet.  My foster mom is learning about where my house training skills are.  I was adopted from a local shelter when I was 8 wks old and re-surrendered here at 5 months.  I don't know many commands yet except sitting for those wonderful treats the rescue ladies have for me.  I am enjoying my new foster home; they have several dogs that love to play with me.  I get along very well with all of them here, cats we don't know about, but I am so young I would probably do well with them.  I seem to love everyone I have met so far.  I am not crazy about the crate but they say it is for my own safety when they are not home.  I am learning, but would much rather play.  Well gotta go, the girls are calling my name.

Adam: Adopted

Boomer: Adopted

  
  

Get ready to fall in LOVE! Boomer is a handsome boy and he couldn’t be sweeter.  Boomer is 4 years old. He is housebroken and crate trained. He’s fine to be left in the house while you are gone, however, if you are going to be gone longer than 3 or 4 hours it will be best to crate Boomer. Boomer is truly your typical playful boxer. He loves to play with toys, people, and other dogs. He is good with kids, but is better suited for older children because of his playful energy.  Boomer knows his basic commands…sit, down, stay and is happy to shake your hand. Boomer will not get on the furniture unless invited.  Boomer will be a great addition to almost any family.

Mac: Adopted

Mac is quickly made himself right a home!
 
  
   

Mac is a sweet boy with a laidback personality. He is 1-2 years old and is learning what it means to be an inside dog. His potty training is improving all the time and he does not mind being crated. He likes to cuddle next to you on the couch or just lean again you when he is sitting. It takes Mac a little time to become confident in new situations and looks to people for reassurance.  Mac loves to play with tug ropes & treat filled Kongs. He responds quickly to verbal correction & treat rewards….he definitely wants to please you. He will do best in a home with kids 6 or older since he gets pretty excited when he is playing. Mac walks nicely on leash and gets along well with the other male and female boxers in his foster home.

Gracie: Adopted
Renamed Julep

THANK YOU!  Everything seems to be going just fine!  I think we've decided to rename Gracie.  We were sort of thinking that since she will now have a whole new life, she needs a whole new name.  I think we've decided on Julep, as in Mint Julep.  We wanted something distinctly Kentuckian, and what's more Kentuckian than the Derby and bourbon?  My husband seems to already have shortened it to Julie, so we'll see.  Koa (who has a distinctly Hawaiian name, which is where he was born) seems to be smothering her with kisses and play time, but she's been handling him very well.  She's also been very well behaved and very affectionate with us.  We just love her! 

Thanks again for all your time and for having such a huge heart for boxers!  We'll be sure to send lots of pictures and updates!


  
  

Gracie is a dainty little girl just under 50 pounds.  She is approximately 3 yrs old.  It's apparent she was used for breeding & then surrendered to a kill shelter.  Luckily, she made it into rescue & was treated for heartworm disease.  She is now up to date on her vetting & heartworm preventative.  She happily plays with toys & her foster siblings since regaining her energy.  She can play quite exuberantly at times.  Her foster family is working with her on being gentler when greeting new people & playing with children.  She is crate trained & house trained, although she needs extra reinforcement to go outside to potty when it's cold, rainy, or snowy.  She is a girly girl that doesn't like to get dirty & will tiptoe her way around outside, unless a playmate can engage her!  She walks calmly on leash, loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch for naps, & always has a kiss for you!

Rosie: Adopted

We are totally in love with Rosie!  She is adjusting well to the house and getting along with Buddy, who is getting better with her.  She goes outside and runs like crazy we have nicknamed her "wiggle, wiggle, zoom, zoom"!  She is gaining weight and everyone who comes to the house loves her.  She is happy and loves playing with her box of toys.  We cannot wait until spring to let them out and really enjoy the entire yard.  We plan to take her to the dog park to let her run.  Buddy is older and we think he will enjoy his 'me" time alone.  We are very grateful to have found Bluegrass Boxer Rescue and tell anyone who is interested in obtain a Boxer to consider adopting with your group.  Our hearts are still saddened by the loss of our wonderful Shelby, but Rosie is helping with the pain.

Thank you again for insight in choosing the right girl for us.

Bob and Diane

Rosie's Mom and Dad

Rosie is a sweetheart. She is loving, gentle, and very smart! Rosie can sit, stay, and her favorite trick is playing fetch. She is shy at first but once she gets to know someone she is super sweet.

Dear Boxer Rescue:

I want to thank-you for my new best forever friend, Stacy Girl.  She has only been in my life for a week now, but I love her so much already.  What a perfect companion she is!  She is so well behaved and her and my male boxer, Rocky, has bonded so well.  She is completely potty trained and we have had no accidents!  Stacy is so intelligent!  She is a wonderful cuddlier and so affectionate.  I just love her wiggle.
