Ali is a gorgeous Boxer Cane Corso cross who started his life in Spain and came to live in Scotland via another rescue in late 2020. We were asked to help find him a new home which we did in early 2021 and he has been loving life in Aberdeenshire with his human brothers and dad.

Bess
Beautiful Bess came into our care in 2021 due to a change in family circumstances. Even though she was an older dog, she was still very puppy like.

Bessie has a typical boxer temperament - good with other dogs, children and wants to play when she can. She also loves cuddles and is responding well to her training.
Buster
Buster came into our care in 2021 as he was having issues with the other dogs in the home. Unfortunately by the time we got Buster, both his behavioural and medical needs were too far gone to help him on a long term basis. Buster was put to sleep in late 2021 and we just hope he is running free over the rainbow bridge without any stress or issues that impacted him when he was alive
Chari
The beautiful Chari had originally been rescued in Gran Canaria and was transported to a family in Wales. Unfortunately this wasn't the right environment for her, however since finding her forever home in Scotland as an only dog and no children, she has begun to thrive. She is still testing her Dad with her recall but she's a lovely happy girl now.

Cooper was living with another dog that really didn't like him. He also isn;t great being left on his own and came into our care needing a cruciate ligament op. He's been nicknamed 'Cooper the Trouper' as he has now had both legs operated on for cruciate issues. However he is now thriving in his new adopted family and is beginning to live the life of a 2 year old

Eric
Eric had been living with a couple of other dogs, but really didn't like to be left on his own, to the point that he was destroying anything in his way. Now that Eric has a family who are around all day, he has gotten rid of this habit and is learning how to not be so excited when he sees other dogs. He also doesn't believe in personal space!

Gypsy has had a rocky start to life, having originally been rescued as a small pup, the families circumstances changed and she was being left on her own. She's since found a home with someone around all the time and is a wonderful mix of bouncy, cheeky boxer who loves a cuddle and snuggle with her new family.

Harley
Harley started her life living in Spain and was with a young family but unfortunately the family couldn't cope with a puppy as well. Luckily for Harley that a family in Scotland was ready and waiting to give her the time and attention she needed. Harley is loving life and made very good friends with the boxer living next door.
Kai
Our gentle giant, Kai, came into our care due to changes in the family home. This lovely old gent, has taken to being spoilt rotten and has someone with him all day which he was sorely missing. Those big eyes come out and he gets what he wants.
Lilo
The lovely Lilo came into our care with her brother Stitch. Both had been living in a busy home but due to the family move, they were not able to go with them. She's an independent lady but does love cuddles and ensuring her big brother is OK.

The lovely Lomond needed to find a new home due to a change in family circumstances. Hes a lovely boy who is loving his new life on the west coast and enjoying the beach and running havoc with the neighbours kids
Mack
Mack came into our care due to a change in family circumstances.

He is loving being part of family life again and is a lovely gentle young man
Memphis
Memphis was our first TBR boxer rescue. He lived with a young family with 3 kids. He was surrendered to us as he was not getting enough exercise and care he deserved. His new family adore him and he is such a handsome boy. The family are hopeful that Memphis will get a new brother or sister from TBR in the near future.
Nacho
Well what can we say about the very gorgeous Nacho! He is a big favourite at TBR, having come into our care as he wasn't getting on with the other dog in the house, suffice to say he has landed on his paws with his new family is an understatement. Still a bit puppy at heart (also convinced he thinks he is a cat), has been known to stand on the windowsill eyeing up everything that moves and also likes to open kitchen cupboards and help with the washing up. Big and beautiful, he is one of those boxers who will be a puppy well into old age
Purdy
The lovely Purdy has seamlessly transitioned from living in a kennel, to taking charge of the sofa! Purdy has a gentle nature and gets on well with dogs and people, although still getting used to living in a busier environment so can still be a little timid. Her new favourite thing is walks on the beach with her new Dad.
Reggie
The lovely Reggie needed a new home due to a change in family circumstances which meant he wasn't getting enough focus on training and exercise. He had been around other dogs, so we looked to place Reggie into a family with an older dog to help continue his training. He has since gotten himself not only an older dog sister but an older human sister who are loving him being part of the family.
Roxi
Roxi is one of TBR's true jet setters. Starting her life in Spain, she was rehomed in Glasgow where she had an older boxer Simba to learn from, along with a human sister. She has since moved with her family to Canada where she continues to be a fantastic part of the family and she has a new human brother and loving playing with the neighbours dogs
Sam
Samurai arrived from Portugal in late 2021, having been returned to his breeder after his owner no longer wanted him. Having a few issues with the breeders other male, we decided he needed to be the only dog in the home and he has since settled into a loving home where he is continuing his training and has made his space known on the sofa
Shadow (Jopo)
Jopo, who quickly became Shadow needed a special home. Having started off life in Spain, he was a strong boy when he came into our care, wary of other dogs and hadn't been given much love, attention or training. He has found his forever home in the Montrose countryside where he has the free run of an enormous garden and was able to get used to be walking on the lead in very quiet surroundings and has certainly learned his manners. He has made himself very much at home but is still unsure of the required clothing to wear for Scottish weather.
Sira
Little Sira was rescued from a bad situation in Spain where she hadn't been looked after and has therefore now a number of medical issues. However her determination for life, focus on the next treat and love of being around her family has been amazing to watch. She is now one of 4 other boxers and often takes herself off for a nice quiet spot in the house, although she is still one of the loudest snorers in the house
Socks
This spritely 9 year old came into our care as her previous owner had passed away. She's loving her new life and being the centre of attention and has become quite the star at the local school.
Stitch
The handsome Stitch came into our care with his little sister Lilo. Stitch needs to know where you and his sister are all the time, and will take every advantage to jump on the sofa for a cuddle
Thor
Thor lived with an elderly owner in Spain, however, he had to come into us as he was not getting the proper care and attention he desereved. He travelled from Spain and went to live in Dunfermline, where he soon become the enter of his families world. He had a few early issues such as food guarding and biting feet but the family work on these areas and he is now a loving, happy dog who rules the house!.
Winston (Tango)
Winston started lifein Spain as Tango and lived with his owner on a farm. His owner got a new job and had to find a home for Winston. He has leish. Winston now lived in Dumfries with his new mum and dad and he is our wee superstar. Winston (Tango then Hector!) became part of a children's book, written by Linda Erskine and has risen to fame! He is a stunning boy who lives his life to the full.
Womble
Womble or Lia as she used to be know was found on wasteland in a deserted house in Spain, with her brother Rocky. Her injuries were down to her trying to escape the chains that secured them and they were both very lucky to have been found in time. As a result Womble lost the sight in her right eye's and had to see a specialist consultant in Spain. Fast forward nearly two years and Womble has a beautiful home just outside of Edinburgh and has gained a human brother and two sisters. She has a strong character and loves walking the filed and hills near her home.
