My Nonprofit Reviews

We decided to become a two-dog household in September 2020, after over ten years spoiling our Boxer, Daisy. We had submitted a few applications and heard nothing back when we stumbled upon New Life Boxer Rescue and submitted an application for a younger male. We were delighted to receive a response almost immediately. NLBR fielded tons of questions from us and asked plenty of their own - Desiree and Diane were quick, professional, and their care for the dogs was apparent throughout. They let us know that the dog we initially applied for would do best as the only dog in a household so not a fit for us, but immediately suggested another young male they had coming in from Texas.

He'd been found on the streets with another dog (possibly his mother) who had sustained injuries in a recent attack, likely protecting the young male. Neither were Boxers but NLBR stepped up to save them, placing them with an incredible foster in Texas to decompress and assess. Desiree sent us photos of a little red boy with a worried face and we instantly fell in love. It was determined that the two dogs would do better apart and about a month later, we met our little Rupert at Diane's home. He was understandably a little nervous but absolutely overflowing with love. We brought him home to meet his big sister Daisy, and our hearts have been full ever since.

We are so grateful to Diane, Desiree, Mary, and everyone at NLBR for loving these dogs as much as we do and for putting in the incredibly difficult work to rescue them and find their forever homes. Rupert now spends his days sunbathing, snacking, and snuggling with us and his Boxer sister and we're happy knowing that every dog cared for by NLBR has a similarly happy ending.
