Remember Gertie? Our sweet little girl who was at risk of euthanasia at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control in July? LOOK AT HER NOW! Thanks to our volunteers and partners at Heidi's Village - who all worked with her for two months - she is now thriving with a wonderful family; previous BLR adopters!

Fear got the best of her last July. No one came looking for her at the shelter and the shelter needed help with her - it was not the place for her to be for any length of time. We thank MCACC for reaching out and letting us help her. Even though she was on "the list", she was truly never at risk. We were working with MCACC, behind the scenes, to save her.

Enjoy this short video taken a week, or so, ago... :)

Here's a link to her original rescue story: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MBApvXQ5c/

We’re back with another two-for-one! Meet brother/sister duo Drax and Missy! This adorable pair recently came to us after losing their home. They’ve been together their entire lives, so would love if they can find their next home together as well.

Missy and Drax are about 4 years old and are the perfect mix of boxer s***k and goofiness. They appear to be house-trained and are sweet as can be! They walk nicely on leash together and would make the perfect family dogs.

Missy and Drax are a bonded pair, so we are aiming to place them together at this time. If you live in Arizona and are interested in adopting two amazing dogs, please fill out an application on our website at www.boxerluv.org.

Calling all senior pup lovers! Barkley is back to remind you all that he is still available for adoption!

This 8 year old Boxer boy might be one of the happiest seniors you’ve ever met. In fact, the only reason you might be able to tell he’s a senior is with his frosty face because otherwise, he’s got the s***k of a younger dog! He always has a big old smile on his face, and is especially happy when he’s bounding around the yard with one of his toys.

Barkley loves people and will gladly perform “sit”, “down,” and “shake” especially if there are treats involved. He appears to be social with other dogs of a similar size and temperament. He would love to spend his golden years in a nice comfy home with some toys and a new family!

If you live in Arizona and are interested in adopting Barkley, please fill out an application on our website at www.boxerluv.org.

Guess who’s back, Back again?
Jack is back, tell a friend!!

Jack is a beefy boxer/bulldog mix who was surrendered to us earlier this summer after his owner sadly passed away, and is still awaiting a new place to call home. Could that be with you?!

Jack is well-behaved on walks and knows his basic commands. He enjoys a bit of frolicking around the yard, but what we really think he would enjoy most is snuggling up with his favorite human on the couch.

Jack previously lived with a Boston Terrier, but has shown to be a little unsure around new dog friends while he’s been in rescue.

If you live in Arizona and are interested in adopting Jack, please fill out an application on our website at www.boxerluv.org.

Meet Max (fawn) and Gasper (white)! These two young boxer boys are ready to add a double dose of excitement to your life!

These boys are both sweet as can be and love to play! After getting in some laps around the yard and some light boxing, they settle down into some calmer activities. Gasper is especially fond of toys while Max seems like more of a sensitive soul, seeking out affection from volunteers. They both seem to love a good snuggle session though!

Max and Gasper haven’t quite mastered the art of the basics like “sit” yet, but are still well behaved boys. They walk nicely together on leash once that initial excitement is out.

These two boys are healthy medically but please note that Gasper is deaf.

If you live in Arizona and live by the motto of “Double the boxers, double the fun,” apply to adopt Max and Gasper on our website at www.boxerluv.org

Meet Bobby! This happy-go-lucky boy is about 2 years old and is ready to be your best friend. Bobby has a blast romping around the yard with his favorite stuffed toys! He’s young, smart and willing to put in the work of being the best dog he can be! While in rescue, he’s mastered the art of sit, is working on walking nicely on leash, and is learning other basic manners and tricks as well.

Bobby much prefers the companionship of people instead of other dogs, so should be the only pet in the home. Once an unclaimed stray, he is ready to be the king of your castle!

Arizona residents can apply to adopt Bobby on our website at www.boxerluv.org.

Mancha is a lucky, lucky boy! He's now in foster with Erica at Incredibullstella! Erica is the one responsible for his rescue - along with 17 other dogs - from a Phoenix area home several months ago. She has stayed by all of them - doing all she can to help them find their families.

NO, he's not a Boxer BUT he's got the love and personality of one! 18 dogs needed help and four rescues stepped in to help them - including us.... We love him and are glad we could help him and others. He still needs his home and people.

Over the next few weeks, he's going to get all of the socialization and exposure he needs to be more comfortable with 'life'. While he's come a long way, he's still quite fearful at times.

Follow him on Incredbullstella and here on this page - we'll post updates as we get them. This is going to be an amazing adventure for him and one, we're quite confident, will lead to finding his very own new family!

Contact us at [email protected] if you have questions or have interest in meeting this sweet, sweet boy!

Thank you Erica!

Not AI.
No filter.
Just stunning.

This is my newest foster and his name is Mancha. He is a perfect physical blend between soft cuddly body and handsome and stoic

His name is Mancha. That is the name he came with. I looked it up and it makes sense that he does have a spot but it is almost a negative connotation.

Spanish word that translates to “stain,” “spot,” or “blemish

So…. While we get to know him together, let’s think of some good names that might fit him better.

He is adoptable through one of the oldest rescues in the valley, Boxer Luv Rescue and they have been around since 1998! They know what they are doing and they have done so much for Mancha. ♥️ Stella The Pit Bull ♥️ is excited to partner with them and together we can find him a home. Will you help?

His family might be right around the corner because you mention Mancha at work or at the coffee shop….
