Animal Rescue Site Fundraiser
Enter "adopt a boxer rescue" in the name field,
and "PA" in the state field. Hit "search", and VOTE.
It's that easy.
Thanks! We are very close to winning $3000 for
the boxers, with your help.
We at
AABR, believe that a Boxer is just about the perfect
friend. However, he or she will demand a lot from
you. They'll rely on you for nearly everything; food,
water, shelter, protection, training, exercise, grooming, veterinary
care, and of course love and companionship. While it is important to choose the right
Boxer for your needs, it is equally important to ensure that you
can meet theirs. You must prepare for their arrival, and
make them a well-mannered and welcome member of your
community.
The responsibilities of being a guardian of any dog are great,
but the love and friendship you'll receive in return is
priceless.
Danger to Harrisburg, PA dogs...
Harrisburg, PA has a "shoot stray dogs"
policy...
Read the Cesar Millan story linked below... It says that they are
rethinking it due to public outcry, but that it is the policy because
the shelters are full...
We, as dog owners, should always be very
careful with keeping our dogs under our control, and safe. But
now, more than ever before, families with dogs must be hyper vigilant to
make sure our dogs and foster dogs don't get out. For if they do, the
folks that we have hired to protect them and us, may shoot them or round
them up and abandon them outside of town limits. (Note: Both of
those actions our against the law)
A
generous portion of the purchase price of this product is donated to the
Adopt A Boxer Rescue.

WE NEED Fosters!!!!
We
are full and there are too many boxers out there that still need
RESCUING!!!!
Update: 12/19/11 - We were able to
get this guy to a kennel...
This beautiful white deaf 8 yr old
boxer boy was facing euthanasia at the Philly, PA shelter. If you can believe it, he was being used for
breeding????
Shelter staff say he has a really nice personality.
Caution to Pet Owners – Pet Treats and
Toys May Cause Problems for Your Pet
With the holiday season upon us, many pets will receive
gifts such as pet treats and toys including chew toys. Each year FDA
receives a small number of reports of adverse events associated with pet
treats. Pet owners should be aware that occasionally, pet treats and
chew toys may cause choking or blockage problems for their pets and may
want to monitor their pets for signs of potential problems.
Pet treats that are meant to be consumed are most
digestible (edible) when chewed into small pieces; however, rawhide type
treats can become very slippery when wet and larger chunks can then
become lodged in the back of the animal’s mouth or throat, causing
gagging, choking, and even death. Through chewing, pet treats and toys
may become broken into pieces that may become lodged in your pet’s
airway or gastrointestinal tract..

Adopt A Boxer Rescue is looking to extend its current spay/neuter program to
those who cannot afford the full cost of spaying or neutering an existing
dog in their family. AABR currently spays or neuters each dog in foster,
before allowing adoption.
Our new low-cost neuter program is intended to help families in need of
help to get their existing family boxer(s) spayed or neutered. This
program is in need of funding. Donations to this program will be used to seek matching grants.
All donations will be used for the actual medical costs of spaying and
neutering.
Please consider contributing to this program. Shelters and
rescues like ours are battling a never-ending tide of too many animals with not enough
families to give them “forever” homes. AABR is trying it’s best to do
our part… Please join us in stemming this crisis.
Please mark Donations to this program as for "Spay/Neuter Program".
Thank you!!!!!!

The following are some of AABR's available dogs who are in
need of donations or sponsorships to help with higher than normal vet
expenses. For us to continue to help boxers in need, we need your
help - please donate or sponsor a boxer today!!
Gem's blood work showed that she was in
severe kidney failure with only 25% kidney
function. She was immediately admitted to the
hospital and started on an antibiotic and high
volume IV fluids. Two weeks worth of medication
rang in at $735! Twice daily, Gem has been
receiving 500 ml of fluid under her skin and IV
antibiotics given at home by her foster
parents.The specialist diagnosed Gem with
pyelonephritis, an infection in the kidney most
probably due to a urinary tract infection that
went unnoticed and traveled up the urinary tract
settling in the kidney. The bad news is that Gem
needs to have 4 more weeks of this medication-Meropenem.
Calculated, that is $1470 which does not include follow-up blood-work to monitor her kidney
function or the IV fluids.
Eve has had several surgeries for
ACL tears. The cost of her physical therapy,
laser treatments, and medication is very expensive
- she needs your support today!
George began regurgitating his
food and was subsequently brought to the vet. He
currently has a working diagnosis of
Megaesophagus. We say this because although it
is obvious on xray that his esophagus is
dilated, it is not absolutely clear if this is
his primary problem or something that happened
that then caused this and the condition may go
away. He recently went into a foster home where
we will be able to learn more about him.
Once she settled into her home, her foster mom
noticed that Leah wasn't feeling well. She would
not eat, so she was taken to a vet. Poor Leah was
diagnosed with Parvo. The next 24-48 hours are
critical.
Leah's bills will be in excess of $3000. She
would appreciate any sponsorship you could give
her, even if it is just $5. We will do everything
we can to save this girl, but we can't do it
without all of our support out there!
Bell was hit by a car and left
on the road. When she arrived at the shelter,
they immediately contacted AABR for help. Bell
was taken to our vet and was found to have tire
marks on her, along with many bruises and cuts.
Olaf is a super sweet boxer boy suffering from
a severe case of demodex mange. He was rescued
from a shelter in
South Carolina. A local rescue sent AABR
his photos and asked if we could help this poor
boy. His face and body were covered with sores and
puss from the mange. He also has a secondary skin
infection. We immediately had him pulled from the shelter
and brought to a local vet for medical attention.
Olaf's condition is the result of neglect. Demodex
Mange is highly treatable.
Amber is doing well in her foster
home. She is great with the children, dog, and
even the cat. To our surprise, Amber had her leg
X-Rayed and it appears this sweet girl has a
bullet in her leg and not an old break. AABR has
set up an orthopedic consult to see if there can
be anything done.
Coco is three years old, spayed, and has
suffered a skin infection that her previous
family had a difficult time clearing up. AABR has been working
with a dermatologist to help Coco. Her breakouts have improved
and she is looking great! Coco has a condition known as Phempigus,
which is an auto immune disorder. She is on daily medication and will
require rechecks by a dermatologist.
Please Help
AABR is spending hundreds of dollars a day
just to maintain the dogs we have with food and boarding fees, not to
mention the medical costs...
You can help by sponsoring a dog. $10 pays for 1 dog for 1 day at
our least expensive kennels. We need your help now!
Another way to help is if you have an
occasion coming up where friends and family would be giving gifts, ask
them to donate the cost of the gifts to the boxers! It will save a dogs life,
and if you really don't need another shirt or tie from Aunt Bess, why
stuff it in the closet.
And if you have adopted from AABR in
the past, and have the room for just one more, please consider fostering.
Contact the volunteer that worked with you, and tell them you want to
help. Thank You!
Unable to Adopt?
Sponsor A Boxer!
We know a lot of
people love Boxers and would love to adopt another, but can’t for a
variety of reasons.If you are unable to adopt or
foster, then please consider sponsoring a Boxer that touches your heart.You probably have a favorite dog on our web site--there are so many
to choose from!Your donation helps pay for food,
vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm preventative and other costly
medical tests, such
as x-rays, blood work, ultrasounds, biopsies and heartworm treatments.We are stretching our resources to accommodate the increased need
and increased expenses -- now you can help by sponsoring one of our Boxers
while they wait for a forever home.Your sponsorship
can be a one time gift or a monthly contribution. Please know
that every little bit counts and donations of all sizes are greatly
appreciated.
Sponsoring a boxer
is a great way to honor your own dog or to serve as a memorial of a dearly
missed boxer. They also make wonderful gifts for
holidays or milestones like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries,
graduations.If you donate $50 or more to sponsor a
dog, your name will be listed as a Sponsor on that dog’s page. Please don't
hesitate to be a second sponsor if a dog already has one sponsor.

extra help we can get from loving, caring people like you!
