I have decided to rehome Angel.

Hi Louise,

I just realized that tomorrow is the 9th of February - the day that the breeder is coming to pick up Angel. I just wanted to wish you strength and hope that the day goes as smooth as possible. You have tons of people here to support you, and we all know how hard this decision has been for you. As others have mentioned, you are making the right decision, and should take comfort knowing that she is going to a great person who will provide a great home for her.

We are all here for you, and send strength and support for the very difficult day that is ahead of you.

Yes Louise (((hugs))) for tomorrow. Angel is going to be well looked after, I'm sure it will be strange for a while to only have Ruby & Luka but at least you can get updates on how she's doing.
Be strong, I'll be thinking of you xx

Thinking of you all.
We are all here for you. ((((((hugs))))) & xx

Hi Louise

I am really new to the BW site and am enjoying these forums. I just wanted to let you know that I think you have done the right thing and I would like to think there would be more people in the world like you.
I am picking up my 8 month old brindle boxer this weekend. This will be her 3rd home since leaving her breeder. I think that really sucks and it would have been much easier on her going to back to her first home.
I think that your decision shows how much you love boxers and you aren't using the excuses the first two homes of my puppy had, that they didn't realize a boxer was so big and needed so much exercise and the other person decided the best way to handle her was leave her in the crate nearly all day.
Angel will always be in your heart and it is so nice that the breeder will keep in touch with you.
My thoughts will be with you tomorrow
Take care Jenn

I'm sorry to hear you having to give her up. I can't imagine the anguish your going through. How much money does it take to care for a healthy boxer in a year? $500???? Name it and I'll gladly give you the money for all the care of Angel so you can keep her.

Oh that is such a sweet thing to post!

Thankyou for thinking of us.


I have had such a angonising week, today has been the worst. I've been pushing back the tears all day. I've been questioning my reasons to choose Angel over the other two. Hoping she'll misbehave so that I can justify if I haven't already why I can't keep her, but she has just been her usual sweet self behaving like a perfect little boxer girl. Wishing I'd never been tempted to get her in the first place.

I can't stand the thought of watching her being driven away tomorrow, will she be scared? Will she be happy, will the other boxers there accept her, will she miss Luka and Ruby? Everything I've done with her today I've thought that's the last time she'll/we'll do that. Her food bowl broke tonight and I thought Oh well, I can hardly stand to look at her, it really is an awful feeling :(

We had to rehome our 2nd boxer - we had gotten our boxer Sadie just one month after my first boxer Bob died - it was way too soon and I just couldn't devote time to her and I had way too high expectations for that poor puppy. My husband found a wonderful home for her with a family that had a "stay at home" mom and were hoping to get another boxer as their first one had died 4 years ago. Sadie has absolutely blossomed with her new humans. We gave ourselves time to get over both "losses" and now we have Buzz who will turn one in 2 weeks. While it's a very hard decision, your Angel will be happy and that's what matters most.

Wow, how did I miss this post?

Louise:

Please know you are doing the best thing. I understand how hard it would be and can just not imagine. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. ((((hugs))))) I will be thinking about you.
