Ongoing appeals for help
As a rescue, Boxer Welfare Scotland is passionate about the boxers that come through our care, more so the ones with health issues. Some of these health problems are ongoing life long conditions that new owners cannot get insurance for and some are dogs who are in permanent foster because their health prevents them being rehomed. In these cases, Boxer Welfare Scotland is responsible for their vet bills and medication requirements for as long as they are needed. To donate, please visit our donation information page.
Levi
Levi is on of our Tragic Stories. He came to us with testicular cancer and stomach problems which have prevented us from rehoming him. He remains a Boxer Welfare Scotland dog and is now in permanent foster home with two other boxers to keep him company. Levi requires regular vet checks and medication to maintain his quality of life.
