Notes from Chelsea's Hope Boxer Rescue

Meet Colombia, now known as Cosette.

Cosette is about 1–2 years old, healthy and spayed, and she’s slowly gaining weight, confidence, and trust. She absolutely loves other dogs, and her canine friends have been so important in teaching her what it means to simply be a dog.

She’s still timid and unsure of new surroundings, and we don’t have any history with little kids. But she is a total sweetheart who is making progress every day.

For Cosette, a fenced yard is a must right now. She isn’t comfortable walking on a leash or navigating unfamiliar places yet, so having a safe space where she can take things at her own pace will be important.

She has already come SO far. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to discover how good life can be.

9 Cincy dogs have found their people. Can we find Cosette hers?

Located in MD. Available throughout the Northeast (NY, NJ, CT, RI, VT, ME, PA, DE, MD, NoVA)

*****************************************

THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. NOW IT’S THEIR TURN TO LEARN THAT LIFE CAN BE GOOD. ❤️

Please welcome Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil & Columbia.

These four beautiful girls were among the dogs rescued from a condemned property where they lived covered in fleas, feces and urine, with little to no socialization.

Right now, they’re still in the shelter—and they’re struggling. The noise, unfamiliar surroundings and sheer overwhelm have made it difficult for them to understand that people are here to help.

But their story isn’t over. ❤️

This week, they’ll leave the shelter. We’re hoping that with quiet spaces, patience, gentle care and time, we’ll begin to see these scared girls discover their brave.

We can’t wait to meet the dogs hiding underneath all that fear.

Welcome, girls. Your good life is coming. ❤️
