This page is dedicated to special children whose families teach and instill kindness and compassion towards all animals, but especially to the less fortunate Boxer dogs of Florida.

Please email us at info@flbr.org if you know of a special child who is doing something thoughtful, selfless, generous and creative to help Boxers in need.

Our first "special kid" is a little girl who celebrated a recent birthday by having all her party guests bring supplies for FBR Boxers instead of birthday presents for her! Impressive, eh? Her letter and photos from the party are coming soon.

Below you will find a letter we received in March of 2008:

"Dear Florida Boxer Rescue,

      I love Boxers.  When I found out about your organization, I decided to have a fund-raiser at my school.  A few friends and I sold rubber band bracelets for a week to raise money.  My mom said she would match whatever we raised.  We sold a lot of bracelets and raised $12.00.  We are sending a check for $24.00.  We just read Ruff’s story.  It was very heartbreaking.  I hope you find him a good home.  Give him some extra hugs and kisses from me.

       Skylar J."

Message to Skylar from FBR:

     Skylar, every volunteer at Florida Boxer Rescue wants to thank you for your creative idea to help the Boxers in our program who have been abandoned by their families. We are so proud of you (and your mom and friends, too)! Ruff's new mom will give him a big kiss just from you! We'd love to meet you someday and hope you can visit us at one of our events so we can thank you in person. Thanks so much for your hard work and generous donation! You are truly a special kid that helps Boxers!
