Rescue Stories

Cody with Wheels

 At first glance you may see me as a perfectly normal boxer. I like to play. I love balls and I love to give unconditional love. What you may not realize about me is something I don’t quite know about myself, apparently I am disabled! My story is filled with many people that have cared for me.

My short life has been filled with lots of love and it is also filled with many difficult choices.  But I have been cared for by the most incredible people I could have ever asked for: Coastal Boxer Rescue.  They saw something in me that pushed them not to give up. You see, I was found on the side of the road. My feet were mangled to the point that my bones were exposed. I was dragging myself around on concrete, pavement or whatever was in front of me.  I can’t tell you if I was born this way or if I had a traumatic experience. To this day no one can tell what happened, but my back legs do not work properly and I am incontinent.

CBR  knew some difficult choices would have to be made. But everyone saw something in me, in my eyes, in my spirit, and in my courage that inspired them not to give up.  Through CBR I have finally found my forever home! Something that most people would never have thought was possible! They call me Cody with Wheels and I am a very special boxer!

 
Love, Cody

Dear Coastal Boxer Rescue,
 
First of all, thank you so much to all of the CBR volunteers! It is so nice to know that others out there care for Boxers just as much as you do. In November of 2009 my husband and I lost our boxer Tank rather quickly and unexpectedly. I never really knew just how important my boxer was to me until he was gone. I really just thought he was going to live forever. As time passed and the grieving lessened I started looking into finding another boxer. There was just this void that could not be filled. Around January I got a call from one of the CBR volunteers letting me know that there was a boxer down south at a vets office. Apparently she had been hit by a car sometime well before she was found and as x-rays showed her back left femur had been shattered into 15 to 20 pieces. However, when we met her you would never have known aside from a slight bulge on that leg. She has brought so much fun, love, and best of all butt wiggles back into our home! Stella Bella has found her forever home, and we will forever love her.

With much thanks to CBR, The Strickland's
