i have to find a home for my baby

[Maci-May]

Update

Maci has to have her jabs before she can go to her new home, i don't get to meet the family and i won't be able to see her again but they said that they will keep me updated and send me pics of her. In a way i am glade that i won't be able to see her again as i don't want to confuse her or have her thinking that she will be coming back home with me, that is why i have gone to a rescue that is a 2hr drive away. She is off to the vets on saturday to have her jabs.

I know she will like her new family as they have rescued to old boxers from this rescue before but sadly they have passed away and they have had a dominate boxer with allergies before so they know how to handle her. Unfortunatly they will not keep her on her BARF diet but they will put her on James wellbeloved.

Its breaking my heart having to do this and i find it hard to update this thread but i have no other choice as you know, its for the best.

She is getting spoilt here today for breakfast her had shin of beef and ox heart.

I will miss Maci very much :(
I know it sounds nuts, but I feel like i have known her just by looking at her pictures

I will be praying for ya. I had to give up a dog because he was biting and snapping at my son. He went to a much better place where his new "mom" is home all day (i work full time) and no small kids. He gets lots of attention and i see him often. but it was still one of the hardest things I have ever done

And for Maci, I'll pray that she makes an easy transition. It will be hard on her too

That is so sad! But you are doing what is best! Give her a hug from Duke and I!

Really sorry to hear that it has worked out this way Jo, but, as you say, it may be the best solution long-term for Maci-May - although I'm sure it will leave a big space in your heart for a while. I hope that you manage to get everything else sorted out, and are in a position to adopt another boxer baby in the future, as you have already shown with Maci what a great boxer mum you are. Perhaps you could tell the new family about boxerworld, so that we could all know how Maci is doing? I hope that you manage to have a happy Christmas despite all you have been through.

Hugs to you during this tough time, but you know you're doing the right thing for Maci. She will be happy in her new home too. And maybe when things settle down for you and your daughter maybe oneday you can get another boxer and give it a forever home with you two. Good Luck and hope you get going on the right track soon and things get better for you.

Hi JO Just wanted to know how you were doing & when Maci will be going to her new home? I hope you had a wonderful Xmas together. Sending lots of hugs and positive vibes your way.

You did not ask to put in this situation and I commend you for handling it in the best way possible. Like it's been said... you saved Maci and gave her a good and loving home for as long as you could. It sounds like the new family will shower her with attention and that they have previous experience with Boxers (especially one similar to Maci's personality) is more than you could ask for in this situation.
Chin up! You are doing the right thing. God bless you!

Update

As some of you may remember back in October i was looking for a home for maci due to family problems, Me and my partner gave it another go for our daughters sake and for Maci's sake i tried it for another 6 months and things got a lot worse as he was drinking more which made him more aggressive so much more that on the last day my daughter was screaming and Maci was so scared that she was shaking!!!!

I couldn't take no more and for mine, my daughters and Maci's sake i left the family home. As a lot of you know Maci is dog aggressive and i was not allowed to keep her with me at my parents hse as they have another dog and other animals. I was forsed to to give her up to A boxer rescue group as i was unable to find her a home (it was a choice between getting kicked out of my parents hse (being made homeless with a 20month old daughter) or finding Maci a new home.

I handed Maci over yesterday and i haven't stopped crying. There was no other option i could have done.

I know some people will think i am selfish but i couldn't stay with an aggressive partner no more and had to leave and the only place i had was my parents (it was them who made me give her up) I had to think of my daughter. I wish i could have kept her i love her so much.

Can everyone just prey for Maci to find a loving forever home with a family who love her as much as i do and always will.

You did right for all those involved. It wasn't good for anyone to live in an abusive household. Don't over worry yourself, the rescue will do right by her or they wouldn't have taken on the responsibilty. I hope you and your daughter are able to get on better. Best of luck!
