If you are in Utah, Idaho, the general area, PLEASE consider fostering or even adopting a boxer from Boxer Lovers Rescue!! We adopted Reuben in June and it has been great for him, our boxer Layla, and us! I feel it’s a little too soon for Reuben and Layla to take on a foster dog so for now I am sharing this post in the hopes someone else will!
We are tagged on boxer after boxer sitting in a shelter somewhere - we are tagged on boxers being rehomed by an owner - we get surrender forms on boxers almost every day... EVERYBODY is always posting to help them, please don't let them be euthanized!! and we get it--it is the last thing we want but we cannot do this by ourselves - we need, no we have to have people start stepping up to help. There are nights I lay awake, too stressed to sleep, trying to figure out how the 2 in that shelter or this shelter will make it out.
We hear, " oh, I would get too attached, my kids would get too attached, my schedule is too busy, " and so on. Will you or your kids get attached or fall in love with them - yal there is a good chance of that, I mean they are boxers. How can you not? Which is worse, being a little sad when they leave or them being euthanized cas nobody could help?. And while yes we all know I'm a bit boxer-obsessed, it surely cannot take more time out of anybody's schedule to foster 1 boxer than it does to take care of how many here.
If every person reading this would foster just 1 boxer, we'd probably not have to beg for the next year for help. If every person who has adopted in the past 10 years would foster just 1 boxer, we'd be set. You can be the one that blesses another family with some boxer love just like the foster that blessed you with your boxer.
ok rant over, but really seriously - 1 boxer.
