Last years boxer dog re-homing clicky


Joe Legacy Boxer rescue in Liverpool is the place to get in touch with if you want assurance that your dog will be going to a good loving forever home, and you won't have to worry that he won't be used as dog fighting bait or just left to rot and starve in a small back yard being used as guard/trophy dog once the novelty of getting a free dog has worn off.

They will keep you updated with your dogs progress on being re-homed if you ask them.

Good luck and let us know how you get on. X

Thank you don't even wanna let him go x

Please don't give him away for free. People pick dogs up for free for dog baiting. Try Liverpool Boxer Rescue too.

Or these guys.

Friends of the animals rct.

These are really good people. The dog goes to foster first so the behaviour can be assessed and the adoptor gets chosen to suit the dogs needs rather than the other way.

They have foster homes all over the country too.

Sofie the only option you have really is to move house if you want to keep the dog, but i know that is easier said than done luv, and the chances of finding someone local decent to re-home your dog is gonna be a big gamble because you are giving him away for free and because he is a boxer dog, they have a high chance of being abused in one way or another. You won't regret handing him over to Joe Legacy boxer rescue because they are massive boxer dog lovers and they do home checks when they re-home the dogs etc and don't just re-home them with anyone. Let us know what you decide to do and im sorry that you have been put in this predicament hun. X

i was in same situation last year and i had all kinds of ... bags ringing up . if u can sleep at night knowing he mite get battered then go ahead or do what i done and phone boxer rescue who came next day and collected him . he is now with a couple who love him to bits an doing great . they charge people 200 to buy a boxer so u no he gna be looked afer an he will be picked up soon cos e a stunner x

Is he good with children????

Any updates Sofie?

I, as a DOG LOVER passed on the information/ photo to somebody who is very interested. They are experienced Boxer owners and I can vouch for them that your pooch will be loved and looked after. Please P.M me.

Hes in birkenhead dog pound needs saving

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Really???? FFS. Well, I'm FUMING!!! Easy option, I suppose?? *Gob zipped- I'm off

http://www.wirral.gov.uk/wirraldogs/Detail.asp?DogsID=8495



is this him then? He looks very forlorn, would your friend still be interested in adopting him from the pound?

Yes thats him

That's so sad I don't understand why he didn't go to boxer rescue

I have two French bulldogs and kids so I couln@t rehome him as the post said about him being protective etc

I hope someone adopts him soon he looks so scared on the pic.

Yes lets hope he get a nice new home soon

Sofie you absolute Careless ***********!!!!

Kennel Reference: 214015775
Gender: Male
Date Found: 15 June 2014
Where Found: Seacombe , Clarence Road
Collar and Tag Details: None
Description: Boxer, brindle & white, docked tail. This dog is a stray and we do not know anything about his background or how he interacts around children or other animals. We can only assess his behaviour during the limited time at the kennels

The saddest part in Bold.

Rude, if your connection is still interested in the dog then i will send you £20 to pass onto him/her towards bailing the poor bugga out of the Pound X

Ill throw in £20

So only 2 days after sofieelou tried to find him a home he was found in the street as a stray !! Absolutely disgusted..... she tried really hard to get him a home didn't she ??
Could he not have been taken to a safe place instead of being left to roam the streets. Poor mite hope he finds a loving home soon

Will speak with her tomoz guys.

We don't know that she let him out to fend for himself. She may have done a Judas Iscariot and denied knowing him....pretended to have found him.....or got a friend to do it. Now, the Pound have no idea of his personality. She knew he is wary around strangers but soon gets used to them, the Pound may view his initial behaviour as hostile. I have been trying to find an email for them, to link this thread.

Rude introduced me to the lady who is interested in this dog last week and after seeing how lovely her two boxers are i know this dog would have a fantastic life with her so i hope this has a happy ending!
and Kev30x and Vanmanone what a lovely gesture x

Maybe sofilou did rehome him and he ran away from the new owner trying to find home? (I would like to think that was the case)

Heres a copy of my inbox to help vindicate sofilou (hopefully)

I am wondering did tudorblue go and pick him up



And he then ran away from the new owner trying to find home?

Failing that maybe sofilou released him into the seacombe wilderness but having met her and read her responses I would certainly think this is not the case?

Is it even the same dog? (probably is but not definitely) area wise is 3.5 miles apart - the timing is impeccable tho and the 2 images do look very alike, hope the poor dog gets rehomed to where he deserves to be, I am guessing and assuming that he was infact picked up and rehomed, then he has ran free and tried to find his home roost at the first opportunity he got...

Sofieelou was on here last year, interested in Trouble's dog. Aren't you glad you did the right thing Trouble?

https://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/802049/1.html

She obviously has not gone to look for him at the dog pound. Bit of a mystery!

The dog was taken by a couple on Saturday who had dogs that dappy could t get on with other dogs and released him that's why he's in the pound

Excuse me for all your information I did rehome the boxer and the owner couldnt cope and too him to the pound claiming he was stray they are both being prosecuted for there actions..so before you go calling me careless get your facts straight... I have contacted boxer rescue and he is being assess as he is a little aggressive toward new people... So if any one has anythink to say am happy for you to come to speak to me get your facts straight

Yeh my circumstances have changed since then so before you go slagging me of you need to no what's going on !!

Sofie apologizies for calling you a careless so and so, i actually did have a feeling that something was not adding up as you seem a nice girl by your previous posts etc hence why i never went over board with a rant, so once again i am sorry for my part. Can you confirm that Dappy is now in the Joe Legacy boxer rescue (link that i provided for you) and would you mind if i check up on his progress as he seems very depressed at the monent with all this chopping and changing and i don't wan't him being misunderstood by anyone which may lead to the poor sod bein put to sleep, all because he is not in the right frame of mind at the minute, thanks to mindless people.

The dog is still with the pound he has to be assessed for a week so I be been keeping intouch with them and they have been letting me no it's so horrible but my circumstances ment I couldn't keep the dog he's so lovely just needs a chance.

As far as I know my contact went to see him this morning. Will ask how it went later.

Yes, she did go this morning. Dappy was snarling at her behind the gate. The woman explained that the Boxer people will be assessing Dappy and my woman will be returning in a few days to visit him again, depending on how that visit goes, she will visit again with her own Boxer dogs.

To add furthur confusion, the Pound woman thought that this dog (Dappy) and the dog in the pound are not the same ones,after looking at the photo taken from here???

We can only wait and hope....

Rude, the poor distressed dog sounds as tho he just needs some proper one to one attention for a little while, i just hope that the friends of Birkenhead Kennels can calm Dappy down enough and can get his trust back enough to prove that he is not a dangerous dog and that he is just scared and confused after his latest ordeal and that he has just lost trust in humanity on a temporary basis.
That picture of him on the pound site clearly speaks a thousand words, ive never seen a dog looking that sad before.

I have told my woman all of the information on here, she is aware that the behaviours he is displaying do not seem to be atypical of him. Its good that sofieloo is on hand to advise further too.

What about these Kev30.

What We Do


Boxer Dog Rescue Northern England are a rescue organisation dedicated to helping boxers in need. We are an independant rescue and do not operate in association or support of any other rescue organisations in the North of England. Any similarities between this site and others are not intended.


We have a no destruction policy and never put a healthy non-aggressive dog to sleep. All dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped prior to re-homing. Full assessment is completed whilst the dogs are in our care to ensure that when rehomed they can be matched to the right family.


Many people think boxers in rescue have behavioural problems, but this is not always the case. Most of the dogs offered to us are given up through no fault of their own. Some may have been abused, some may no longer be needed, now that they are too old to breed from. Many are relinquished by loving and caring families but have to be given up because of a change in circumstances.


This website provides information on rescuing a boxer. If you are interested in adopting one of our many dogs who are available for rehoming, please see our Rehoming Procedures before looking at Boxers Needing Homes and Applying To Adopt.


We are run entirely by volunteers who use all of their spare time to help boxers in need. All of our volunteers have been working with boxers and rescue organisations for a number of years. We are always on the lookout for more experienced people to help us with fostering, homechecking, transporting or fundraising. If you are in the North of England and can volunteer please contact us.

The more help we have, the more we can help boxers in need.

Help and Support

BDRNE seeks to help any Boxer owner encountering problems.

We have training partners, Bark Busters and Alpha K9 who will work with Aggressive or Guarding Behaviour (towards other animals or people), Recall, Heel-work, Sit, Down and General Obedience.

If your dog is destructive, nervous or anxious we can advise.

She takes calls from listeners and offers tips and hints on how to combat unacceptable behaviour exhibited by your dog. Nicky kindly invited me to come along to the show for a guest slot to talk about Boxer Rescue and to promote some of the dogs in our care.

Any information needed I can help he just needs a chance... He very wary of new people also he's behind a cage which I no he hates he just needs to get used to you... And hear your voice and recognise it.. Really upset that's it's come to this he's such a great lovely dog once you get to no him

Yes that is dappy ino by the white colouring on top of his neck.

if hes been used as a guard dog in a cage then putting him in a cage is going to make him hostile, dumb idiots.

stop thinking you know everything corpy dog pound and put him in a foster home.
You have all the "cute" dogs in foster homes.
piss me off this lot saying what dog can and cannot be rehomed.

i had one of these dogs years ago, they need a lot of attention and love to play, you cannot leave these caged up.
