As I reminisced of Rosco earlier today, a friend told me a story of her beautiful brindle boxer’s passing.

Imagine our delight when we received feedback from Kris: Hello Daily Boxer, Happy Holidays! I wanted to thank all the Daily Boxer readers for their wonderfully insightful comments to my story about adding […]

I am always so happy to read and post successful rescue stories. All the stories are unique and so personal. This story is about a boxer named Lola. Faith wrote: Dear Daily Boxer, I first met Lola in a shelter’s sick hold. She was underweight and had a bad case of kennel cough. I wasn’t […]
