Tank turns 9 and shared his cake with forever foster sister V***n from MustLuvBoxers Rescue.
Please keep an eye out for MustLuvBoxers Rescue foster puppy that has gone missing! She has an adoptive family lined up and desperately waiting to meet her.
Update. She was found and is back with the rescue.
Washington area
Please help MustLuvBoxers Rescue spread the word and find a lost foster puppy in Mt. Vernon by sharing this post. We believe someone found her and has her in their home based on a sighting at Petco.
I have a friend in Westlaco, TX & she's always posting about dogs needing rescue. Recently there were two of boxers. Do you work with any group in that area, or have the ability to rescue any of these boxers? I tried sharing the post, but even though I've "Liked" your page, it won't let me share to it. I would only be able to copy & paste.
Meet Kobe! A 16 month old, 88lb American Pit/ Cane Corso/ American Bulldog mix who was adopted in 2021, by his mom Peggy (who happens to be the Adoption Coordinator MustLuvBoxers Rescue! 🐾
Kobe brought the excitement and energy to the home that only a puppy can provide, but at just 4-months old, his family received devastating news. Kobe was born with severe hip dysplasia in both hips so Peggy knew she wanted to do everything in her power to make sure he was as comfortable and pain free as possible, that's when she turned to Big Barker beds 😊
Since getting his Big Barker, Peggy tells us Kobe is sleeping better, having a much easier time getting up, and has less pain too. His old beds flattened and bottomed out very quickly, providing little to zero support... but not anymore! 🙌 She shares that he has been happy and comfortable, and once he is all healed, these beds will continue to support him for many years to come.

Charlie loves his snuffle ball. Thank you Tami.

Just received my MLBR Key Chain that I ordered (and it was on sale too). I am impressed with the quality of the item. It would make great swag for a purse if you don’t need a key chain.

This is how Gobi sometimes chooses to sit.
It is time for an update on Penny. I know many of you have followed her back from the beginning when she first came to us after being hit by a car and needing a major surgery so to not have to amputate her leg, to our recent post of her being with a different rescue. We told you then we would be looking into all the events that had brought us to that time and would then make a decision we felt was in Penny’s best interest.
Looking into these events has turned into quite a nightmare with so many different stories being told, to people making threats, to accusations being made on many facebook boxer pages, and the most recent being the adopter attempting to file criminal charges.
Some of these threats have come from people not even involved but are people hearing only one side of what has happened and believe they are supporting somebody that was wronged. This only fuels the fire that really just needs to be put out. Here are our findings and decision:
To start, we were contacted by Penny’s adopter saying somebody had stolen Penny and she was now showing up with another rescue group. I contacted Holly director of MustLuvBoxers Rescue with the intention of getting Penny reunited with the adopter but then discovered there was much more going on that we were not told. Must Luv Boxer had placed Penny in a foster home and it was decided at that point to leave Penny there while we worked through all this.
After speaking with several people, and looking at copies of text messages, messenger messages, and pictures of Penny we are 100% convinced that Penny was not stolen. The adopter was in a Fred Meyer parking lot around 10:30/11:00 pm and his behavior had caught the attention of the stores security. When an employee of Fred Meyer made contact with the adopter, he was in a cart stall hunkered down behind some carts with 2 dogs. He did have a vehicle in the parking lot that had broke down and there was another person working on the vehicle. The employee was very concerned about one of the dogs as it was extremely skinny. This dog was Penny. The adopter told the employee that she had been hit by a car a few days prior and something about her medication upsetting her stomach and she was not eating. The employee said it appeared the adopter was living out of the car. She asked the adopter to let her have the dog as it was clearly needing to see a vet and the adopter handed Penny over to the employee. Over the next few weeks there were some text messages between the employee and adopter and they did meet at a park one time for the adopter to visit with Penny. There was no mention of taking Penny back or setting a date to do so. Many of the text from the adopter were about cars and attempting to borrow money from the employee.
Penny was taken to the vet and she was extremely emaciated and dehydrated. As for medications the adopter stated she was on—they were not given to the employee, if there were any. The employee did not witness Penny refusing to eat. The employee stated that Penny ate like she had not ate for awhile and drank so much water she had to stop her and only allow her to drink small amounts at a time. Penny continued to eat every meal. The employee had a family emergency and needed to go take care of her mother. After several attempts to contact the adopter she reached out to a local rescue group – this is where Must Luv Boxer came into all this. They took Penny in and placed her in a foster home. The adopter did finally contact the employee almost a week later and was told where Penny was.
In my conversations with several people, one told me that I should go to the Idaho repository website and search the adopters name. A little odd but I did and what I found could possibly explain the erratic and inconsistent behavior seen throughout all of this.
I give credit where credit is due and when adopter first got Penny he was great with her, taking her to all of her rehab appointments. I do not know what happened between then and now but it was becoming very clear that Penny was not getting the care she needed and deserves. In my conversations with the adopter I asked if Penny was current on vaccinations as she was scheduled to have her hip looked at and we did not want to vaccinate her again if she was current. The adopter first stated she was current but it turned out the last vaccinations she had received was the ones with us. The adopter then told me she did not need any vaccines because he did not board her. I asked why she had not been taken to a vet when she was hit by a car or when she started refusing to eat – I was told that she was taken to the vet however when we called to confirm, no records were found.
Throughout all of this I have been in contact with Holly and we both have tried to find even one little thing that would make us feel ok with placing Penny back with adopter but the bottom line is the condition Penny was in was worse than when she first came to us – that is not how its supposed to go. We promise these babies a better life and nothing was showing us that was happening here. So with all the information reviewed we made the decision to exercise our right to rescind the adoption agreement, as the adopter had breached the agreement and took possession of Penny.
Since giving the adopter our decision they have turned to social media with accusations of us stealing Penny. It has been said that we took her because he was down on his luck, then there was a statement made about rescues just wanting to make more money off the dog, etc… I really try not to even read all the stuff said. I will say that these accusations kinda made me laugh but cry at the same time. Why people think rescues have all this money is beyond me and for being down on your luck, I myself have experienced being homeless and lived in my car with my boxer girl. The decision made had nothing to do with the adopters living arrangements – it was made solely on Penny’s care and what was in her best interest.
As for Penny, we will tell you that she is doing great – she has had a complete medical evaluation, finding no medical reason for her to be in the emaciated condition she was in. She is doing water therapy to help her mobility range with her hip and to say she is spoiled is an understatement.
I also want to thank Holly and Must Luv Boxer for their help with Penny.
Thank you to our amazing customers for donating to our giving tree supporting MustLuvBoxers Rescue this holiday season! 🎁
