My Nonprofit Reviews

When I lost my beloved Golden Retriever in February 2015, I knew his fur Boxer brother needed a brother or sister, and I knew my husband and I didn't have the time in our schedules for a puppy from a breeder so we curiously looked into rescue and found New Life Boxer Rescue and saw Dixie on their site and I just knew this was my girl. I filled out an application and heard back within a few days. A home check was scheduled but there ended up being an issue with the volunteer who was going to do it. I was anxious and NLBR found another volunteer to do it right away. Theresa took the time to come to our house right after work instead of going home first and met our Boxer boy and my husband and I and did our home check. She called us afterward and told us we had been approved and that she was Dixie's foster mom! I cried with joy. Less than a month after my heart was broken with the loss of my Golden, it was mended on the day we adopted Dixie. She has been the best girl I could ask for and I love her more than life itself.

New Life Boxer Rescue may be a smaller rescue, but the "family" as well as their hearts are huge and you will never feel like your application, questions or inquiries are being ignored. I still keep in touch with Theresa to this day and she stops by to visit every so often. She was instrumental in helping us introduce Dixie to her new younger Boxer brother in June 2017 (adopted through a different rescue) after we lost her older Boxer brother in March 2017.

I have always wanted to foster and help by volunteering. My husband won't let me foster because he knows I would be a repeat foster failure! Over the years as I've gotten to know more of the NLBR family, they recently asked me if I would be interested in taking over as Treasurer because their current Treasurer was relocating and I accepted. I realized this is how I can volunteer and help (even though I'd rather foster LOL). And I was honored that they thought of me and asked me.

New Life Boxer Rescue has always been there for me and Dixie and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in rescuing a Boxer. Your heart will thank you and they will not let you down.

Adopt, don't shop!
