Happy Beginning Oct 2006- Troy

I wanted to share a situation that could have turned bad if it were not for the training that George and I consistently give to Troy. This past Thursday when I came home I let Troy out as I usually do. He did his tinkles and then walked over to the driveway; at the same time I looked in horror as I realized that I had left the gate wide open. I heard a car coming up the street; my heart was pounding. Troy saw the gate open and I shouted out "Troy, No". Troy stopped dead in his tracks and sat. He looked over at me and I said "Come"; and he did. I got him into a safe area and told him to stay. He did. I shut the gate and praised him along with a treat. I can't stress how important it is to train your pet. I was very careless and because of my carelessness, something tragic could have happened. Fortunately Troy understands his boundaries and commands. Since the day Troy came out of K9 Korners boot camp, George and I continue the training that Paul gave to him and I mean every, single day. I'm grateful that we have because the training paid off. It doesn't take that much time out of your day to teach basic commands like come, no, sit and stay. Basic commands that can save a pets life. Anyway, I thought someone else can benefit by me sharing my story. These are pictures of Troy having fun, being spoiled, exhausted and waiting for his treat!

Regards to all!

09/16/06 - Ariel - Beating the odds.

Ariel is doing great! She just recently went back to the vet for her 6 month check up. Her kidney levels are stable and not increasing which is wonderful for a dog with kidney failure. The vet said that the part of her kidneys that are still functioning are very healthy and that is all we can ask for. 

When you look at Ariel she shows no signs that she is sick or was dealt a bad hand in life. She is the absolute happiest dog I have ever met and she has more energy then our other boxer.  She has the best boxer wiggle and gives the best nose kisses! She absolutely loves her green cuz toy and you rarely see her without it.

We recently found out that she loves to swim when we went to visit my parents in upstate pa. She is an absolute blessing to us and I wouldn't trade her in for all the healthy dogs in the world!

Ariel is beating all the odds according to her vet and she will be with us a lot longer then anyone every thought.

LUCY IS A HANDFUL, AND WORTH EVERY BIT OF IT! 

SHE IS ENJOYING LIFE TO THE FULLEST, JAKE LOVES HER, ITS LIKE THEY WERE TOGETHER ALL THEIR LIFE.  I GET A KICK OUT OF WATCHING THEM. WHO EVER GAVE LUCY UP,  IT IS THEIR LOSS AND MY GAIN.

What do all of these boxers have in common? 
2005
Meet Rocky, Bean, Lia, Spirit and Jake.  They are best friends and when not basking in the sunshine, they're running around each other's backyards, enjoying every minute of every day.  So what do they have in common?  They're all rescue dogs!  Each one of them came into rescue, unwanted, some needing extensive medical care (Spirit had surgery on both back legs!)  Bean was adopted first - then the sister of Bean's 'mom' adopted Spirit.  Then Jake joined the family, then Lia.  A friend of the two families felt left out and Rocky was brought into the fold.  Five dogs, three happy families! 

If one picture is truly worth a thousand words, then this picture screams from the rooftops what rescue is all about.  Each of these dogs was previously unwanted.  Each one faced the strong probability of being killed in shelters.  And each of these dogs was saved by rescue, made healthy and whole and adopted into loving forever families.

This is what rescue is all about - this is why AABR works so hard to save boxer dogs.  These dogs are now safe and healthy and very loved.  Please help us to make the lives that the 'fabulous five' are living a reality for the other dogs that are still waiting for loving homes.

Charlotte's

"My name is Faith and we adopted Charlotte Oct. 31st. She is such a sweetheart. We are so happy and fortunate to have the little girl become part of our family. Charlotte is full of happy boxer wiggles, she is smart, silly, active, and full of love. My husband and boys, and of course myself are crazy about her. I want to thank boxer rescue for all there dedication in helping this baby. She came from a terrible situation, and I cannot believe that this puppy who can give so much love can be mistreated. Thank goodness for your wonderful organization. Also, I want to thank Lisa who fostered and loved her and taught her that there are some good people who will treat her kindly. Lisa is a wonderful person, and it was a pleasure to meet her. Also, thanks to the volunteers who did the home study. They were great. I know many people are involved in this adoption process, so thanks to everyone. I can tell you that Charlotte is being loved, spoiled, and is surrounded with people who adore her."

 Sincerely, Mrs. Gluck
