In Memory

Noble
Noble		 You will always be my big, strong, handsome, sweet boy. I wasn't anywhere near finished loving you but I am grateful that I was the one chosen to be with you. I think your guardian angel knew that you needed and deserved a Mom who would never lose faith in you and who would never leave you. Thank you for making me feel special everyday. I'll never forget how you gently kissed my leg every morning as I got your breakfast or how you loved to take naps with me on the couch. I loved the way you took treats from my hand, so gentle you would leave the tips of my fingers wet. Then there were the mornings I awoke to find your head in the bend of my arm and I knew we were going to have another wonderful day. I can't find my heart now but I know it is somewhere with you, keep it, it's yours.

Paco 		His Name will always be Paco and he will always be in our hearts. I had always wanted a Boxer and getting a new puppy is fun but there are a lot of dogs out there that need a good home so we were off to Boxer Rescue. We met several Boxers but when we went to Doug’s and met Paco he was the sweetest most loving dog that you could ever ask to meet.

He had a hard but unknown life—most recently being nearly starved to death—but you can read all that under 2004 adoptions. He bore marks on his forelegs and bite marks on his quarters so he had endured a lot. But there was a kindness and gentleness that was his core soul. We took him on one of Doug’s famous “test drives” that really means give the guy a chance to steal your heart—which Paco surely did.

He would remind you to love him by gently snuggling under your arm with his cold nose as you sat in a chair or at the computer. Never demanding, just a gentle nudge to let you know he needed a hug—often. He never liked other dogs much—until one day when he met Mia. She was at a Boxer Rescue event where we stopped in to let Paco visit with Doug and his family. Doug introduced Mia to Paco and he readily accepted her, so we were off on a second test drive. Paco was with us just over two years before the wear and tear of a hard life took its toll. Paco shared his home with Mia, as well as his beds and his toys. They were great pals for about 4 months—then Paco fell ill. It was almost as if Paco knew his days were numbered and he wanted to leave us with another Boxer he deemed “suitable” and he picked very well.

This website asks “Adopting a Boxer, what is in it for me?” my answer is some of the best friends you will ever meet—what more can you ask for in this life? Rest in Peace our friend.

Holly

Holly Holly, you gave me so much joy.
You were truly a blessing to me.
I loved every minute I spent with you.
And I will always cherish our time together.
Your nubin’ never stopped wriggling.
You were always so happy,
and that made me happy.
I will miss you little girl.

Beans

Beans To those of you who did not have the opportunity to meet Beans, he was a marvelous Boxer who's original owners turned their backs on him after 9 years. He was initially fostered by Dana who's heart was immediately captured by this wonderful boy. He then went to his forever home. Bill and Janice and their female Boxer, instantly fell in love with Beans but were only able to cherish and love him for about eight months. Not very much time to spend with such a wonderful boy. Yes sadly, Beans left us due to cancer. He never gave up on people, he continued to give all his love to anyone who crossed his path. He touched the hearts of everyone in Boxer Rescue and at Animal Humane. Beans will be sorely missed by his family; Bill, Janice, and his newest sister. God’s Speed gentle one and run free at the bridge.

Thank you Bill & Janice for making a difference.

Bailey

Bailey We didn't know him but for a few days.
He was pleading for help.
Help his owners never gave him.
He was very sick but managed a nubbin wriggle when he saw you coming.
His days at the Rio Rancho Shelter were filled with love, a caring young lady named Jessica.
Thank you Jessica, for loving him and sneaking his favorite treat ..... donuts.
His heart was as big as Jupiter.
But his cancer was insurmountable.
Bailey we're sorry, and we'll miss you dearly.

Della

Della
Della was such a sweet girl.
She came to us as a surrender.
We were never able to determine how such a wonderful dog could be cast aside and forgotten.
She was in a great deal of pain but never really complained.
Despite the extensive surgeries and the long recoveries, she had a wonderful personality and outlook on life.
She loved to play with Rocky and Cheyenne and her foster Mom and Dad.
Thank you Stacy and Richard, her final days were filled with love and kindness.
Thank you Della for showing us your unconditional love, we'll miss you.

Thank you Stacy and Richard.

Jack

Jack Jack was my second foster dog and he came to me loaded with surprises. When he first came to my home, he was scared, in shock, and very nervous. He taught me a lot about how to deal with "damaged" dogs and I will be forever grateful to him for that alone. Through the course of the six months he was with me, he went from a frightened animal to a fairly confident one. It was obvious from some of his behaviors that this boy had lived a very rough life in the short year or so he was on this earth. When at home with me, he was the most cuddly and loving boxer boy you could ever ask for. He loved being close to me at all times and would just hop up into my lap at every opportunity. I will always remember this loving soul and thank him for the things that he taught me. God Speed little one.
