Hospice Fosters
The following dogs came into CBR to find Forever Homes, but as we got to know them and had them vetted it was determined that they had terminal issues. They are being loved and cared for by their foster homes for the remainder of their lives.

🌸 Molly is a sweet senior girl whose journey brought her to Carolina Boxer Rescue in search of peace, comfort, and unconditional love. With her graying muzzle and soulful eyes, Molly carries the quiet wisdom of a life well-lived and the gentle spirit of a dog who’s finally found her safe haven.
Rescued from uncertainty, Molly now spends her days wrapped in warmth—soft blankets, kind words, and the tender care of her devoted foster family. Though her body may be slowing down, her heart is full, and her tail still wags for belly rubs, tasty treats, and the simple joy of companionship.
Molly’s hospice placement isn’t about endings—it’s about honoring every moment she has left. She’s surrounded by love, dignity, and the comfort of knowing she’ll never be alone again. Carolina Boxer Rescue ensures that Molly’s final chapter is written with compassion, grace, and the kind of care every dog deserves.
She may be in her twilight, but Molly shines brighter than ever.
Bettie Jo is a resilient and affectionate dog estimated to be between 8 to 10 years old, weighing a gentle 37 pounds. Despite having faced more than her fair share of medical challenges, including numerous mammary masses, growths on her side, and a significant mass between her rectum and vulva—Bettie Jo’s spirit remains unbroken. She also faces significant arthritis in her hips and legs and could benefit from dental care, as she ideally needs every tooth in her mouth removed.
Bettie Jo truly special is her unwavering happiness and zest for life. She is remarkably active for her age and condition, and you’d never guess the pain she endures by watching her play. Her tail wags with joy, and her eyes light up especially when she’s around children. She adores every dog she meets, making her an ideal companion in multi-pet households and for families with kids.
Bettie Jo will be cared for in a compassionate home where she can spend her remaining days surrounded by love, comfort, and kindness. She is a true testament to resilience and joy, and she has so much affection to give in return for a soft bed and a caring hand.

Hi, I’m Russell! I’m a 9-ish-year-old boxer with a heart as big as my paws. Life hasn’t always been kind to me—my previous owners didn’t take care of me, and I was pretty neglected. But guess what? Things have turned around in the best way possible! I’m now a proud member of the Carolina Boxer Rescue family, and even though I’ve got some cancerous lumps, I’m not letting that slow me down. They’ve given me a special title: hospice foster. That just means I get to spend my golden years being spoiled rotten.
I’ve discovered that long walks are amazing, cozy naps are essential, and being an indoor dog is just the best. Even with my health challenges, I’ve got plenty of energy and a whole lot of love to give. Every day is a new adventure, and I’m making the most of every single moment. Treats, belly rubs, and snuggles? Yes, please!
My foster family is incredible. They make sure I’m surrounded by love and comfort, and they’re helping me live my best life. I’m soaking up all the happiness I can, and I’m so grateful for everyone who’s part of my journey. Thank you for cheering me on and supporting Carolina Boxer Rescue—because of you, I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of.
Hi, I’m Maime! An 8-year-old boxer girl with a heart as big as my paws, recently diagnosed with a lung mass and now under hospice care.
Maime is a shy, gentle soul with a quirky sense of humor, soft snuggles, and a signature move—a friendly boop on the behind when it’s mealtime. She loves slow strolls, especially when they lead to her very specific favorite potty spot. Treats, cozy beds, and… your shoes hold a special place in her heart.
Her early life wasn’t easy, but she has come a long way. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loyal nature truly shines.
