AABR covers an area
throughout the Northeast USA. States currently included in our program are: Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come,
first served basis.
And not all applicant's are suitable for matching with our
"available dogs".
On average, it takes between 1 week and 3 months for an
approved applicant to adopt a Rescue Boxer, depending on
your personal circumstances and flexibility.
For example;
If you are looking for a young female, who is good with
other dogs, cats, and small kids, please know that yours
will be a hard application to fill.
Matching Boxers
suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs,
cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the
application review time and adoption time.
We hope you
feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
We need help to meet the needs of our Rescue Dogs through out the
Adopt A Boxer Rescue region.
Please watch for our Next Urgent Need:
We
need collars, leashes, dog toys and supplies. All
donations will be greatly appreciated!
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.
Want to really "rescue" a boxer?
Please, if you our considering
adoption, and you really want to "rescue" a boxer, start your search at
the bottom of the available dogs section (white background with paw
prints). There are some great dogs there and they have been with
us the longest. (Please don't go to the
yellow section below the available dogs... These dogs have already been
adopted and found their forever homes! Yeah!)
We at AABR don't shy from challenges and hope that
you support us in our endeavor. Whether they are dogs with medical
issues or behavior challenges, by your support you obviously agree with
our mission to give each dog a second chance. We have many
adoption applications requesting the perfect boxer. But if per
chance you are up to rescuing a boxer that will require a little extra
TLC, or maybe requires a strong leader to bring out the best in it,
please contact us, mention that you read this, and let us know you are
interested in rescuing one of our special boxers.
And if per chance you yourself are starting to show a
little gray in your hair or mustache, maybe you can relate to some of
our slightly graying boxers. It's the rare individual today that
can see the gold in those senior dogs that through no fault of their own
are in need of a forever home. Those individuals who have adopted
our older boxers have a special knowledge of the rewards that only
rescuing an older boxer brings. And consider what would happen to
your older boxer should you not be able to care for them. You
would want some good home to step up and care for them... Wouldn't you?
Nick is in urgent need of a foster home or hopefully his forever home!
He has been living in a home with two other "cart dogs" and
gets along well with them. Sometimes their carts get caught, and
one of his siblings is very fragile, so this is a problem. Also, his mom has
had to travel more and more for her business. It is hard to find dog
sitters for all these dogs, and she feels Nick would be best with a family
that is home more often. It is very sad, but an urgent business trip
coming up will have Nick ending up in a kennel. This is not the best
situation for Nick, but we have no other alternative. That is, unless
someone steps up to help Nick.
Sadly, we have just been informed that one of our
boxers, an adult male who never chewed on things, ingested the
contents of one of those popular Rice Hot Packs used to put on muscle
aches, and he died of bloat.
He had spent the first 7 years of his life as an
"outside, backyard" dog, and only enjoyed less than a year in the
comforts of his new Mom's home. He was enjoying life, and such a
happy dog! We will miss
Mugsy
dearly.
These packs are repeatedly heated in the microwave,
and emit a rice aroma which must be tempting to animals. With
time, they also get moldy, which again must be interesting to animals.
Please be cognizant of the ability of animals to scent things out, and
take care to consider your animals when purchasing new items.

Adopt A Boxer Rescue - proud and grateful recipients of a
grant from the ASPCA
AABR recently received a grant from the ASPCA Philly RAP
for $2,050. Thanks to the hard work and good relationship of AABR
Philadelphia, PA area volunteer Colleen Kane, this grant will help AABR
rescue and care for many of the dogs coming for the Philly area.
Philadelphia, PA is one of the ASPCA's targeted Mission
Orange Sites. You can read more about it by clicking on the link below:
A big thank you goes out to the folks at
Halo Natural Dog Food who showed up at our door step with pallets full
of canned dog food for our rescue!
With
dogs like Eve, our
megaesophagus foster dog who is thriving on 3 cans of dog food a day, and
trying to care for and feed 70 to 80 other dogs who are in various stages of
health, this food will really help. Many of our dogs come in emaciated
or under weight and we feed these guys 3 to 4 times a day.
When we became Adopt A Boxer Rescue back in 2004, we were averaging 30 to
40 dogs in rescue. For the past year or two we have been averaging
around 70 dogs and with the economy the way it is, we only see it getting
worse for the dogs.
Your support of AABR is what gets more dogs rescued, and your patronage
of rescue friendly companies like Halo let's them know that what they are
doing is appreciated.
Almost any question that you may have
about the adoption process,
surrendering a dog, and most other matters, can
be answered by following the links found in our
Site Directory to the left.
An AABR volunteer's day normally includes all the
same tasks and responsibilities that your day has. And then
typically includes reviewing apps, calling references, doing home visits,
caring for and working with foster dogs, rescuing dogs from shelters and
owner surrenders, transporting dogs to safety and/or vet exams, fund
raising, etc..
If we could stop getting half the emails we get
asking questions like "What is the adoption process?" or "I live in
Smalltown, PA. Do you cover my
area?",
we would have more time to do what has to get done.
If the answer to your email can be found by looking
in our site directory, please do not anticipate a response.
Thank you, and thank you for helping us rescue the
dogs.
Taking an easy dog from
someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The
challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, and
Hutch, Uma, Lucy and now Stella. The challenge is finding the funds to
help the dogs in need of medical care.
That¹s where YOU come in.
We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we
get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your
donations to cover our expenses.

WE NEED FOSTER HOMES NOW!
Adopt A Boxer Rescue is in
trouble and we need your help right now. We need foster
homes immediately. We have always counted on you to
help us, especially when there is an emergency and we're
counting on you again.
Over this past summer,
we've been asked to save the lives of many boxers and
we've been living up to our mission to never say no to a
dog in need. But we are full to capacity - our foster
homes have been doubling up, the kennels that we use are
full to capacity and we have no place else to turn. We
have been asked by search and rescue groups if we can
help with survivors of Katrina - how can we say no - how
can you? If you have ever thought about fostering, if
you want to show your support to this breed that we so
love, then please, please contact us now. If you have
questions about fostering, ask us - we'll guide you
through the process. If you think you can't do it
because it's too hard to give a dog up, think how much
harder it will be knowing that the shelters are killing
dogs daily because there is no room.
It's really up to each
of us to help - you've been able to count on us, now we
must count on you.
We
have gotten NEW FOSTER HOMES because they saw our Flyers posted around
town!!!!!!
