CBR alum Doug  8/15/18

RIP CBR alum Doug... you are at peace now. Run free with Roxy. You were only in our family for a short 8 months but you stole our hearts instantly. We love you. I will miss my snuggles with you. The cancer came back so quickly. The Vet said he believed it was in his bones and that is why he was having trouble walking.😭😭😭💔💔💔

CBR alum Maximus 8/9/18

Sweet CBR alumni Maximus had the most spoiled life. Cancer took him way to soon and his girls certainly be missing him. So thankful that he found the truly the best family ever and  was able to feel true love.  Toni & Noelle will miss you dearly.

Dex 8/2/18

Rest easy little man, we hope you have found some comfort and peace.

CBR alum Paulina 8/1/18

It’s too soon you sweet, sweet girl. CBR alumnus Paulina was laid to rest today after a very long day yesterday determining why she had not been eating. US determined masses in several locations, including pancreas, gallbladder and liver. She joined her fur sister Heide at the Rainbow Bridge. Run free, sweet girl.

CBR alum Caymus 7/23/18

He woke us up at about 5am and was shaking.  It appears by the amount of slobber on his bed he had been having a seizure for some time.  We drove him to the emergency vet were they could not get the seizure under control and he could not reset.  We made the heartbreaking decision to stop the seizure for him and we are struggling with it as the day goes on.  We loved him so much and while he had a rough start his last 3 years were Christmas every day.  We are so thankful that we had him in our lives and that this organization exists.  He was our first nub tail and we have been spoiled by his calmness and gentleness and love of a nap. 

Thank you, Chris and Kimberly Townsley

CBR alum Oliver 7/17/18

My heart is broken. I had to say goodbye to Oliver today. His cancer returned as an internal mass and he was struggling to breathe. Even though he was in pain, his nub didn't stop wiggling. Thank you for giving me the gift of being his mom.

CBR alum Abe 7/12/18

We adopted Abe on October 13, 2006 and he passed quietly at home this afternoon.  We are very grateful to Carolina Boxer Rescue, Bo and Amber who fostered him, and all the friends who enjoyed his high energy shenanigans over the years.  Special thanks to Noah’s Ark Veterinary Hospital who treated him with special care.  He was an incredible dog and will be missed.  With our daily 1.55 mile walk (sometimes twice a day), I estimate that we covered over 6,500 miles together.  So if you see me starting to gain weight, you will know why! Life moves on…Abe will always hold a special place in our family.

Trevor 7/10/18

After working with him for over a year he had to be helped to the bridge for human aggression....He loved three ladies.....no one else was safe around him....

CBR alumn Sally 6/23/18

The Dycus/Delamar family lost one of our own today. We say goodbye to Sally D. Sally was a mother of 9 pups. She was rescued from the streets of Columbia, SC by Carolina Boxer Rescue and fostered in Wilmington, NC. She has been a loving member of our family since October of 2015. She has been a reading buddy to the boys, a coworker to my wife and a faithful companion to all of us. She has enjoyed numerous vacations with us at Carolina Beach, The Outer Banks and Williamsburg VA. She loves car riders, walking in the park, a good nap, meal time and most of all sharing the company of her family. Today we all say goodbye Sally, you will be missed and not forgotten. I want to share my love for my dog, my courageous and strong wife, Sarah and our three children Brandon, Zach and Levi. I love you all. Additionally, I'd like to thank my mother Ann Kern for being there to help out when I couldn't be.                                Love, Steve

Cleo P. Atra 6/21/18

Mad Max 5/31/18

Dear Max, 

When CBR saw you, we never hesitated once when asked to take you into our care. there has been not a single thing that CBR and your fans haven't done for you. we all banned together and got you the best care you could have ever received. we got you your MRI, your surgery, your wheelchair, the best therapist the world could ever ask for that worked around the clock with you, a team of vets who cared for you deeply. we even had people send you gifts, who never met you, and loved you anyway. we did all we could, but it just wasn't enough to help you walk again. looking at you the past couple weeks, i knew you had given up. i knew you were tired. you couldn't take a step, with every drag of your rear end i had to coax you to get out the door to even go outside. you were so tired, that you laid in the same spot for hours, laying in your own urine and feces without a care in the world that it was there. you were too tired to even stand up and pee on your own. you were tired. and i don't blame you. we worked so hard. we tried so hard. i was tired for you. please know, that i am happy for you now. when your team of therapists and i sat with you as you crossed, we all said "run free sweet boy. run." and i know you are now. you are running free in meadows up at the rainbow bridge. you are happy now. 
until we meet again, my friend, please know we all love you.. and we all tried so hard.. 
love, your foster mom
