It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and here at MustLuvBoxers Rescue, we’re filled with holiday spirit – and a few extra wiggles! The holiday season brings out the best in all of us, and what better way to celebrate than with a special tribute to the amazing Boxers who brighten our days?
This year, we’re introducing “The 12 Boxers of Christmas,” a collection of stories featuring a few of our favorite pups who remind us of the love, loyalty, and joy that only Boxers can bring. Whether they’ve been with us for a while or are looking for their forever homes, these Boxers have each left a pawprint on our hearts. Join us as we celebrate their unique personalities, from the playful to the serene, the goofy to the wise!
🎄 Boxer #1: Bruce, the Jolly Spirit
Bruce is our silver-muzzled sweetheart who proves that age is just a number. At 10 years young, Bruce is part of our Forever Foster program because of his arthritis and senior status, but that doesn’t slow him down when it comes to spreading joy. Whether he’s adventuring with his dad on a sunny day or snuggling up by the fire, Bruce is the kind of dog who reminds you to savor the simple pleasures – a cozy blanket, a kind touch, and a good treat (or three).
🎄 Boxer #2: Lady, the Wise Old Soul
Lady is our our beautiful 14-year-old girl who’s reached a milestone that’s not just special for her, but for all of us. 14 years old in Boxer years is a BIG deal, and Lady is living proof that age doesn’t slow you down – it just makes you wiser.
Lady is one of our Forever Fosters, and it’s no surprise why. As an older girl, she deserves all the care and comfort we can give her in her golden years. While she may not move as fast as she used to, Lady has mastered the art of slow, intentional living – whether it’s finding the coziest spot in the house or taking her time to enjoy the sunshine on her face. Back Lady's care.
🎄 Boxer #3: Sally, the Little Helper
Sally is the ultimate sidekick – always ready to pitch in (even if it means unrolling the entire gift wrap roll!). Whether she’s “helping” you decorate, sitting for a treat, or just tagging along while you get things done, this girl is happiest when she’s right by your side, wagging her tail through it all.
Beyond her playful antics, Sally is a sweet and affectionate companion who loves cuddling up after her adventures. But the best part? Sally is ready for adoption! She’s looking for an active family who’ll embrace her fun-loving spirit. Read Sally's profile.
🎄 Boxer #4: Cheyenne, the Snow Bunny
Cheyenne, our stunning, snowy-white girl has a heart full of holiday cheer! Though Cheyenne is hearing impaired, her spirit is anything but silent. With every wag of her tail and twinkle in her eyes, she brings joy and warmth to everyone around her.
This sweet girl is a loving soul who may not hear the jingle of bells, but she certainly feels the magic of the season. Cheyenne's sweet gaze could melt even the coldest winter day. Dive into Cheyenne's story.
🎄 Boxer #5: Daisy, the Queen of Cuddles
Oh, sweet Daisy. She’s the kind of dog who melts into you the second you sit down, her head nuzzled in your lap, big brown eyes looking up like you’re her whole world. But what makes Daisy extra special isn’t just her love of cuddles – it’s her story.
Daisy was diagnosed with Juvenile Renal Disease, a condition that requires her to have ongoing medical care and a special diet to keep her feeling her best. Because of her needs, Daisy is part of our Forever Foster program. Every tail wag, every soft snuggle, every playful little bounce reminds us that life is meant to be embraced – even when it’s not perfect. Sponsor Daisy.
🎄 Boxer #6: Hunter, the Holiday Entertainer
Known for his silly antics and affinity for toys, Hunter's the life of the party. Whether he’s prancing around in a festive sweater or scooching into the perfect spot on the bed between his fur siblings, Hunter knows how to make everyone laugh even though he struggles with severe allergies that require special care. Hunter’s happy spirit and big heart make him the life of the party, and he’s a shining example of the joy a forever foster pup can bring. Help Hunter Thrive.
🎄 Boxer #7: Tula, the Ultimate Best Friend
Tula is a nature lover at heart who thrives in the great outdoors! Whether it’s a sunny stroll or bounding through fresh snow, Tula’s zest for life is contagious. Her adventurous spirit reminds us to embrace every season with a sense of wonder.
But there’s more to Tula than her love of adventure. She’s also a loyal and loving companion who will melt your heart with her soulful eyes and gentle demeanor. If you’re looking for a partner to explore the world with—Tula might be the one for you. Check out her full bio!
🎄 Boxer #8: Star, the Shy Beauty
Star is ready to bring some holiday cheer into your life! 🌟 Yes, she’s a bit shy at first, but don’t let that fool you – under that quiet exterior is a heart bursting with love just waiting to shine. When she feels safe, her true personality comes out: playful, affectionate, and the kind of pup who’ll make you feel like the most loved person in the world.
Star has a playful side that comes alive when she’s with other dogs, so a furry friend in her forever home would be the ultimate Christmas gift for her.

🎄 Boxer #10: Clyde, the Curious Soul
This little guy is an adventurous toy connoisseur, ready to pounce on anything that squeaks, crinkles, or rolls—perfect for holiday playtime. And when it comes to treats, he’s all in! And when it’s time to unwind, he’s a certified couch potato who’s almost mastered jumping up for cuddles—ideal for snuggling by the fire on a cold winter’s night.

🎄 Boxer #11: Blue, the Gentle Spirit
Blue is all heart and all love. She has an inoperable growth in her throat, which is why she’s a Forever Foster, but that doesn’t stop her from being the bright spot in every room she enters.
With her soft eyes and calm presence, Blue has a way of making everything feel a little bit better. She loves to snuggle up close, resting her head on your lap and soaking up all the love you have to give.
🎄 Boxer #12: Bane, Santa's Co-Pilot
Bane is our holiday MVP! At 9 years young, this guy’s got plenty of pep in his step—whether he’s dashing through the trails on a winter hike or chasing balls faster than Rudolph’s sleigh.
Bane’s festive spirit and playful energy make him the perfect addition to your holiday celebrations and beyond. Don’t miss out—he’s available to adopt!
