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. 

 

ASPCA - USDA Moving To Regulate Internet Sales-Based Puppy Mills

On Thursday, May 10, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced its intention to release proposed regulatory language to close a loophole that has “threatened the health and humane treatment of pets sold sight unseen over the Internet and via phone- and mail-based businesses.” Due to the wording of the federal Animal Welfare Act—passed 40 years ago, before existence of the Internet—a large (and growing) population of commercial breeders has been able to escape licensing and regulation. Currently, only breeders who sell dogs to pet stores or to puppy brokers are required to be licensed and inspected by the USDA.  Read More

Unusually High Number of Dogs Being Surrendered to AABR Due to New Babies in or Expected in the Family -  Please Read...

The best way for pet parents to help a companion animal cope with the arrival of a new baby is to plan well in advance of delivery day. Goals should include:

  • Designing a daily schedule that covers all your pet’s needs for good nutrition, physical activity, and social interaction/playtime.

  • Making gradual changes to your pet’s daily routine before bringing the new little person home.

  • Reviewing training needs, especially for dogs in the household. If your pup’s response to commands and general behavior needs some fine-tuning, the time to do it is now, before your hands are full with a new little one.

  • Familiarizing your pet with all the new gear that comes with baby, especially in the nursery.

AABR Alumnus Rocky - Happy Beginning

  

Below is a video that Dr. Post and the Petside team created featuring my Boxer, Rocky (AABR alumnus).   Dr. Gerald Post is the wonderful Veterinary Oncologist in Norwalk, CT that treated Rocky's cancer back in 2009 (when 3 other vets said it was hopeless) and he continues to treat Rocky today with Palladia.  Rocky's cancer appears to be in remission and he is doing fantastic!  He is a happy, healthy and joyful senior Boxer and makes friends wherever he goes.
 
I am truly grateful to Dr. Post - not only is he an exceptional Veterinarian, but he is an extraordinary human being.   Please read more about the Veterinary Cancer Center in Norwalk (www.vcchope.com) and the Animal Cancer Foundation (www.acfoundation.org) which was founded by Dr. Post.  Help spread the word that cancer is not a death sentence and that there is hope!
 
Also, special thanks to Colleen, Amy & Dawn for their critical role in saving Rocky from certain death in the shelter he came from.

ASPCA - Facebook Rejects Puppy Mill Ads For Good!

March 23, 2012   ASPCA - Reprint

In response to concerns raised by the ASPCA and its national “No Pet Store Puppies” campaign, measures will be put in place to ensure that puppy mill dogs will no longer be sold via Marketplace on Facebook. The ASPCA is working with Facebook and Oodle, the online classifieds service that powers Marketplace on Facebook, to restrict listings of puppy mill dogs on the popular social media site. Through an ongoing removal process, ads placed by puppy mills have already started coming down. The process was designed to ensure that individuals may continue to post dogs available for a nominal adoption or rehoming fee. The ASPCA believes that reducing Internet venues through which puppy mills can offer their dogs will help combat the inhumane puppy mill industry. Many puppies sold online come from puppy mills—these are large-scale, commercial facilities that commonly keep dogs in unsanitary, overcrowded and often cruel conditions without sufficient veterinary care, food, water or socialization.

We need Help... There is an epidemic of UNWANTED DOGS!

Looking for someone in the Philadelphia PA area who can contact the Philadelphia Inquirer and get a story out on how full the shelters are and how over worked rescues are.

This is a crime. These dogs don't deserve this.  "Having a new baby" is not a good reason!  We need help.  It takes a lot of $ to help the old ones.  They are great dogs... but everyone wants a young dog!!!  We pay for them for life. Its sad. We need the Philadelphia area to help out.  We need fosters badly to help with the shelter there. We need help with the transport of dogs out of there. We took 4 in 2 days. Its insane. What's going on here? Its never been worse!

Hey boxer folks!
We are full to capacity here at ACCT and euthanizing due to lack of space. If you can rescue this sweet Boxer in the next 24 hours please let us know ASAP!
Thank you!!!
Natalie

Meet Cash (A15496999), a handsome ~9-10 year old Boxer. Cash’s owners were preparing to have a baby…and one of the preparations involved dumping this dashing older guy at ACCT. Cash doesn’t seem to mind much, though: he’s such a wiggly guy, he seems happy to meet anyone! He loves all kinds of attention, and the more he’s pet, the more his little nub tail wags! Cash has a handsome rust-colored coat, with the typical black around his face (which is peppered with white), and cropped ears. Cash lived with dogs at his last home and, per his former owners, was good with them.

New AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines for 2011

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Canine Vaccination Task Force has updated their vaccination guidelines for 2011.

For those of us that have been watching this and speaking about this for years, it is good to see the AAHA Guidelines changed.  We have known much more about the good and bad aspects of vaccinations, for a very long time.  We have been over vaccinating our pets for years, and over vaccination is just as bad or worse, in some cases, as under-vaccination.  I posted this in 2008, see below...

Consider this about yearly vaccinations:

"Would you rebel if your doctor told you to have measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and hepatitis shots every year of your life until you died, instead of only a few doses as a child?" [Michele Welton]

The truth is that it would be wrong to do it to ourselves or our children, and it is wrong to do it to our pets.

The highlight is that all core vaccines with the exception of the rabies (1 yr dose*) are now recommended at 3-year or greater intervals.

*note: Rabies vaccination is strictly governed by law.  Check your state law to see if a 3 yr rabies shot is permitted. If so, ask your vet to administer the 3 yr dose.  Consider going to a vet who will administer the 3 yr dose, if your vet will not work with you on this request. [Please do not be a even a day late on renewing your dog's rabies vaccination, unless you and your vet have a medical exemption for your dog.]

Even more exciting is the task force has acknowledged that in the case of the non-rabies core vaccines, immunity lasts at least 5 years for distemper and parvo, and at least 7 years for adenovirus.

Hopefully these new guidelines will help more dog owners understand the long-lasting effect of those puppy shots! And hopefully, more dog owners will now request titers , (a blood test to test immunity in lieu of automatic re-vaccination), rather than automatically revaccinating their canine companions for distemper, parvo and adenovirus.

A link to the actual AAHA Guidelines is posted on our health page.  They are long, complicated, and written with veterinarians in mind. 

Summary of New AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines for 2011

 

Danger to Harrisburg, PA dogs... Resolved - Update 02/06/12

Sunday, February 5, 2012

Mission accomplished for animals in the Capital city?

Frankly, given all the fits and starts, misinformation and excuses from both sides, I am reluctant to share news reports that Harrisburg's animal control contract is signed, sealed and delivered.

After more than three months without contract, Mayor Linda Thompson signed the animal control contract with the Humane Society of the Harrisburg Area, according to the Patriot-News of Harrisburg.

The humane society says everything is good to go and all it was waiting for was Thompson's signature to begin taking animals again.

Nevetheless, late last week a sticking point cropped up over a $250 contract fee charged by the humane society. A local realtor and City Councilman Brad Koplinski volunteered to write a check if it would resolved the dispute.

But in the end Thompson inked the paper. So, unless there's another snafu - which is not out of the question - Harrisburg strays will again have a place to go. It's not to say they had no defenders in the interim.

During the time the two sides were locked in a dispute over the city's debt from last year and terms of the new contract, the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance, an all-volunteer group, stepped in to protect the animals.

At last count, rescuers picked up a total of 17 dogs, provided vet care - some of it very expensive - and farmed the dogs out to fosters and rescue groups. Three dogs required behavior assessment and none was claimed by an owner.

Two of the last dogs taken in deserve mention. One Boxer/pitbull mix suffering from burns on his body - clearly an abuse victim - is getting veterinary care thanks to the group. The second dog, a female pitbull, was finally caught in a trap after three years of roaming the streets - yes, three years.

CPAA president Zella Anderson said people had been feeding her in different spots but had been unable to catch her. Finally last week they lured her into a trap and whisked her to the vet, where they found out a few things: one, she was micropchipped with a Georgia phone number that was disconnected and two, all she wanted - after three years on the streets - was love. Anderson reports she put her head on a volunteer's lap on the way home from the vet. We hope the mystery girl from the South finds a very happy home soon.

The CPAA deserves accolades and donations for its humane work during a time when life on the streets of Harrisburg for unwanted animals was made worse by an unnecessary contract dispute. The CPAA, a coalition of rescue groups in the Harrisburg area, is a model of animal welfare activity. They hold a stream of fundraisers for their successful ventures such as "De-Sex in the City," a free and low cost spay/neuter/vaccination program and Hounds of Prison Education (HOPE), a pups-in-prison program that matches inmates with problem shelter dogs to prepare them for adoption.

We hope the city doesn't let this terrible situation happen again, but Harrisburg residents should be grateful that CPAA was there to help them. There's so much more that could be done to improve the lives of city animals and ensure there will always be a place to take them.

Very few residents license their dogs, which has led to a shortage of revenue that could help pay shelter bills. The CPAA suggests it could partner with the city to do a spay/neuter day and check for licenses among those who participate.

Anderson points to a fund in Pittsburgh that with an extra dollar tacked on to licenses, raised enough money to build a new shelter.

FDA - Cautions Pet Owners On Holiday Pet Treats And Toys

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..  Read more

 

  

 
New LOW COST Spay and Neuter Program !

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!!!!!!

Adopt a Boxer Dogs - Medical Cases

in need of donations!!

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
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. Update 8/12/11

Eve
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!
Update 8/21/11

George
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.   Update 8/21/11

Leah
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
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.  Update 8/8/11

Olaf
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.

 

Update 8/8/11

Amber
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
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.  Many of these Boxers have so many medical needs and they need all the extra help we can get from loving, caring people like you!

Donations are Tax deductible!!
Please be sure to designate which boxer you would like to sponsor in the area marked "message to seller" on the PayPal donation screen.
