Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.I examined Belker and found he was ill and dying. I told the family...

Legacy Boxer Rescue along with Humane Society of North Texas, Ellis County SPCA, Second Chance Boxer Rescue, Mountain State Boxer Rescue and One Tail at a Time Rescue is embarking on an important journey to get boxers to safety!

Thanks to the combined volunteer efforts of these groups, we are going to make history with our first transport of boxers from Texas to the Northern States!!

For anyone that regularly visits our website, and more importantly, our "boxers in need" page, you know that over the past several months rescues in North and Central Texas have been overwhelmed by the number of boxers needing our help. With over 70 boxers currently in foster care at LBR, we're simply too full to keep up with this boxer deluge.

So, the volunteers at LBR decided to join forces with the above named organizations to transport a number of boxers to boxer rescues in the Northern states. Due to better spay/neuter laws in the northern portion of our country, these rescues are seeing fewer boxers in shelters, hence, they are able to help us out with our ever expanding problem of finding proper care for these boxers in need here in Texas.

Beginning Sunday, July 1st, 2007, we will begin readying the chosen 9 boxers for their trip North. We will be picking up the individual boxers at their current location and transporting them to our "staging area". In the staging area they will be vaccinated against Rabies, groomed and given a clean bill of health for traveling by a local vet.

On the morning of Monday, July 2nd, they begin their journey north. LBR has procured a diesel 3/4 ton pick up and well ventilated trailer for the journey, to assure these boxers are as comfortable as we can possibly make them for their journey "home".

LBR Volunteers, Melaney Munday and Amy Brown, have generously donated their time off from their actual jobs to provide the driving force behind this momentous transport effort. Never before has LBR attempted anything so radical to help boxers in need, and we are thrilled with the willingness of these other organizations to help us in our efforts. We could not do it without them.

The Legacy Express road trip will consist of over 2,880 miles round trip. There are several expenses involved as well such as truck rental and fuel. The estimated cost for the total transport is $1,500.00. LBR will be covering the costs of all expenses for this transport. And, while LBR is on a tight budget because of the 70+ boxers in our care who have recently needed some very expensive vet care, including two Femoral Head Osteotomy surgeries (for Dora and Andi), we feel that this is money well spent to save these 9 boxers.

LBR would appreciate your financial support for the Legacy Express!

Please keep an eye on this site because our transporters will be in touch with us through the entire journey and will be sending updates and pictures all along the way.

Thank you for your continued support!!

All aboard!!!!

BOXERS IN NEED!

Hey guys, I work for an amazing rescue operation and we could really use your help! Whether you want to foster a dog or adopt one or even just donate. This is a great cause with people who love these animals and are willing to help you each step of the way ...And as expected, the recent flooding in Gainseville and Haltom City is only increasing the shelter load. They MUST euthanize dogs in order to make room for the dogs that are lost and found. That's the sad reality.

Owner surrenders that go to the shelter are most often walked straight to the back and euthanized. They can't hold boxers indefinitely for us waiting for a decision :( The ones that get sick are the first to be put down.

We seriously need to get some of these dogs adopted.

   For every life there is a legacy. In many instances the legacy passed down is                                                    not as it should be and requires help from caring souls to be fulfilled. It is our                                                         belief that all Boxers should have a legacy befitting of their wonderful                                                                     enthusiasm and love of life, but sadly, this isn't always the case.

                                                       We, the founder and volunteers of Legacy Boxer Rescue, have made it our                                                            mission to seek out these Boxers and create a legacy they deserve, a loving                                                         family and home of their own.

                                                        We firmly believe that a Boxer's future should never be uncertain, so we will                                                             help to create better, happier legacies for them; one Boxer at a time.

                                                         A legacy that replaces despair with hope, sorrow with happiness, fear with                                                              security, and pain with love.

BOXERS IN NEED!
The following boxers need you. They are currently in local shelters or in homes that can no longer care for them for whatever reason. LBR has been asked to help them, but we cannot take them into our program because our foster homes are full. LBR provides all food, vetting a crate, and basic essentials like leash and collar, for each foster boxer - please help us help them!

Please note that in most cases, LBR has no other information about these boxers other than what's listed here.

There are also boxers in shelters that we do not have pictures of. We need all the help we can get at this point. If you are interested in fostering for us, please fill out our foster application by clicking here.

BIN#: BIN7285

Sex: Female

Is s/he safe from euthanasia?: No

Other Info: I need a foster home! I'm getting sick in the shelter which means I have a great chance of being euthanized!
