Romeo

Romeo is a great and loving boxer. He is always playful and fun for everyone. My dad and I got him 4 years ago, at first I was kind of scared because I didn't know much about boxers but when I first saw him he greeted me by sitting in front of me and letting me know he was nice (which is true). My dad and I about 1 year ago adopted a stray cat and now that is Romeo's new best friend.

The Guillot Family

Baylee

I found LSBR while looking for my Boxer and I got in a hurry and bought a puppy from a BYB, I didn't know any better at the time. He is my first Boxer and while training him I spoke to a volunteer from LSBR named Peggye who was a godsend in training my boy Jaxon and in training me. I liked the concept of Boxer rescue so I applied to volunteer. I had a foster and found him a great home for lsbr and it went so well hubby finally agreed to let me do it again. Jaxon so needed a playmate, he is the most active Boxer I have ever met.

Jaxon and I packed up and went to the Fritz Kennel with Vicki and he chose Baylee to bring home with us to foster. She fit in the first moment they met and it took a little adjustment having 2 at the same time but they got along so well as if they were soulmates or siblings parted at birth. Ron and Jaxon and I fell in love, hard, with Baylee. After some hard soul searching and a family who was very interested in adopting her, we decided to adopt her ourself. There was no way we were going to be able to seperate these two.

That decision has been the BEST choice since I found my darling boy Jaxon. They eat, sleep, play and swim together and have never been aggressive or shown any type of issues with one another. They ride with the convertible top down and share the back seat so well, they even share bones and treats without a sound. These two were meant to find each other and at the same time we found the perfect second Boxer (with the exception of her having accidents in the house from time to time.) for our family. She is protective, loving and a snuggle bunny who just loves her family very much. Thank you LSBR for bringing her into our program and trusting me to take care of her and allowing me to adopt her. I do hate the thought that I can't foster anymore but Baylee is such a part of the family, I hope ya'll understand.

Bodi

"My husband and I lost our first boxer to heart disease at only 6 years of age. But there was that special "boxer thing" about Daisy Mae that hooked us on the breed. As a result, we turned to Lone Star Boxer Rescue to find our next boxer. We adopted a handsome 9 year old named Bodi and immediately, he fit right into our family. Bodi amazes us with his "Tigger" leaps at the back door. He loves playing fetch, keep away, tug of war, or just entertaining himself with his squeaky toy. He also loves being a couch potato while we read or watch TV. His love and devotion to us is as if we have had him since he was a puppy. The opportunity was presented to foster another boxer, a 12 year old. How does someone give up their devoted family pet at that age, we ask ourselves. A 12-year-old boxer's options for adoption are almost non-existent but without hesitation, we leapt at the chance. It wasn't long before we couldn't imagine our lives without "Karl", and we officially adopted him. Karl also amazes us with his playfulness and puppy antics. Both of 'the boys' still enjoy their daily walks. We highly recommend adopting an older dog. They are loving, loyal, devoted and yes, fun and playful. The boxer spirit carries on into old age. These wise, senior souls deserve a loving and safe home in their "golden" years. Our adopted senior "boys" have been loyal, loving pets. Consider adopting a senior dog. The rewards are immeasurable and they will be eternally grateful. As you look deeply into a senior dog's eyes, the wisdom and deep gratitude will penetrate your heart and soul. That kind of love is a gift to be treasured."

Bailey

Hi, We had adopted a dog from y'all last April I think, and I never sent an update about how she was doing. We adopted Bailey (different from the one on the website) through owner surrender. She has been an excellent fit with our other dog, a boxer/greyhound. In January she had to have her eye removed because of a tumor. Then she ended up having a neck infection from the cone she had to wear, which is why she is wearing a t-shirt and bandana in the picture I attached (it's to keep her from messing with her neck). She's all better now, and is the sweetest dog I've ever had. In a few years we will be interested in fostering dogs for y'all. I was very pleased with your website, and with the adoption process. Thanks for all your hard work! Anna Spalding

Ashlee

I am writing to let you know how things turned out with Ashlee, who we renamed Allie. I was a foster for LSBR and had successfully fostered two other dogs, Brassy and Trinity and got a call that another one needed my help. When I got to the vets office to pick up Ashlee, she was very sick. She didn’t barely want to lift her head and she was scared. I put her in the car and we started the long trek back to Katy. She fell asleep in the car and by the time we got home, you could tell she just didn’t feel well. I introduced her to her new foster brothers, Ben and Gringo and she did NOT want anything to do with either of them. I had to keep her separated from them for the first few hours, but once she realized no one was going to hurt her, she calmed down. We ended up having to take her back to the vet 3 times due to her illness. She was running a very high fever and just didn’t feel well. After about a week, she started feeling better and I got to see this personality that reminded me of a toddler. She was so curious and interested in everything, but not in a bad puppy way, just in a cute way. She knew basic commands, sit, stay, drop it, leave it. She had impeccable manners, she wouldn’t get on the couch or the bed. After nursing her through her illness, I knew I couldn’t let her go. Allie became my first foster failure, which sounds bad, but is really a wonderful thing. I had to adopt her and keep her for myself. Since then, in the past 2 years, she has been a loving and wonderful part of our family. She is so playful and just wants to run and play with whichever brother is up for it at the time. She is also a huge cuddle bug and now sits next to me on the couch or lays next to us in bed. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion than Allie. Thanks to LSBR for bringing her into the program, so that should could be a part of our family. Leanne Jones
