Memorials
The true measure of how deeply we love our
boxers is the size of the hole they leave in our hearts and our lives when they
die. We share these memorial tributes to the dogs who have made our lives
better for having known them.Share your boxers legacy

CoCo
Dear Boxer Rescue,
Coco came to live
with us just days before her first birthday, in February of 2003. We
knew within the first 5 minutes of her visit that she was a great
dog. And your volunteer who brought Coco to our house knew we were
an okay family when we calmly cleaned up the puddle she left on our
kitchen floor without skipping a beat in our conversation!
All of
you know and adore boxers so we don't have to tell you how much
love, joy, loyalty, fun, energy, cuddles, kisses, wiggles and sheer
entertainment Coco brought to our lives in the 9 years we were
blessed to have her with us. Though people told us how lucky she was
to have been adopted into a loving home, we always knew that we were
the lucky ones.
Sadly, Coco was diagnosed with cancer in early
December - hemangiosarcoma. She came through abdominal surgery
beautifully and was quickly back to her wonderful self. Her body
tried very hard to beat back that aggressive cancer but lost the
battle. A loyal sweetheart until the end, Coco died at home last
month cradled by loving hands.
The house is far too empty now. We
miss her terribly.
Karen, Doron & Shira

In Loving Memory of "Murphy" 9/14/09"
  
Dear NBR,
I just wanted to tell you how wonderful of a friend
Murph was to me and my family. It was a very sad day Tuesday,
September 14, 2009. Murph didn't weigh much when I adopted
him and truly was abused but his spirit was always one of life and
love!! Murph became my
best friend and co-pilot through many tough times. I hope you can
help me put this in a Memorial on
Boxer Rescue website where I found him. Sept 99-June 2000 adopted
dogs.
Thank you again Jane and I hope I can help foster/adopt another friend,
it's a blessing!!
Austin Dunford and Family
Murphy's Memorial:
"Our Best friend,
my co-pilot for 10 years. You were loved by all who met you. Words can't
descirbe you, you were Murph. I fostered and adopted you back in 99 and
though you had been through horrific things before we met, your spirit
shined through and provided light in our lives every second of every
day...
We will miss you pal!

 In Loving
Memory...
words from Maura Kirkpatrick
This
section is special. It is dedicated to all our faithful companions, loyal
friends and devoted pets. Here, we acknowledge them for their lifetime of
commitment, steadfast service, undying friendship, and most of all their
pure unconditional love, to us, their human guardians. We thank them for a
job well done. We thank them for sharing their lives with us. We thank them
for being the best that they could possibly be. We think of them often and
will never forget them. They will always be with us; their memories are only
a thought away.
As the following
canines are called, once again they become visible. One by one, name by
name, they step forward to accept the honor, recognition and remembrance
they so deserve. A golden ray of sunshine shall forever shine upon them as
we their faithful companions, proudly watch and wipe our tears away.
We will guard their
loving memories they left behind; they are buried deep within our hearts,
forever. May they all rest in peace, each and every one. Until we
meet again, our friends…
|
Sadie: 01/01/03- 03/19/08 |
In
memory of Sadie....
Almost four years ago you brought
sunshine into my life. You’ve been
taken from me too soon, and I will
miss you always. I’ll remember the
softness of your coat, the sparkle
of mischief in your eyes, and that
silly way you used to plow your
pillow around with your head. I
hope you haven’t suffered, and that
you’re in a better place filled with
bones, friends, and lot of
squirrels. Sleep well, baby girl.
Love, Mom

IN MEMORY OF COOPER
2005 - 2007
We are sad to report that Cooper has lost the battle with
his rare liver disease. Until very recently he was doing well and
enjoying life. However when Cooper started to fail he deteriorated
quickly and could not be saved.
Cooper brought a special joy to all who loved him. We
are eternally grateful to Carrie for making his short stay in this
world a happy one. Cooper was exceptionally endearing and will remain
in our hearts forever.
“Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us,
these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of
our own lives.” …..John Galsworthy |
