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.
The label
Needs
Foster Home
means that we
have run out of the right foster homes for the dogs we have, and have had to resort to boarding a dog at a
kennel.
All
dogs that are designated as "Needs foster Home", are also looking for
a permanent home.
The Adoption Process
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 a week and 1 month 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
may be a harder 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.

LOW COST SPAY &
NEUTER
The website below provides low-cost spay/neuter
certificates. Female dog: $90. Male dog: $64 We've had
quite a few homes use this website to get a certificate
when they've adopted a puppy that needs to be
spayed/neutered as a condition of our contract. This
organization is located in CT, but it is a national
program and anyone can order a certificate. You type in
your zip code and they email you back (right away) with a
list of veterinary clinics/hospitals near you that will
honor the certificate. You can then buy the certificate
on-line.

The NYC Pet Project is a
singular collection of portraits and letters that capture
a special love; a love that is blind to all racial,
social, or economic factors, the unconditional love shared
between humans and their pets.
The book was produced over a one
year period during which 9/11 occurred and the world
focused its attention upon New York City. It consists of
122 portraits of people that live and work in New York
City and their pets. Each owner has written a heartfelt
letter expressing their love for their animal. There are
ten additional portraits with celebrities taken at the
Broadway Barks charity fundraiser. Each celebrity is
paired with an adoptable animal and is followed by
information about one of the charities that are
beneficiaries of the NYC Pet Project Charitable Trust.

"I just received my NYC Pet Project book yesterday and
was up half the night reading it--I just couldn't put it
down! I LOVE IT! The photographs are beautiful and the
letters that people wrote about their dogs are so heart
warming. It's so nice to read about people who love their
dogs as much as I do (I didn't think it was possible). I
just ordered 4 more as X-mas presents for my sister,
neighbor, vet and dog walker. I'm going to keep mine on
the coffee table for all to enjoy. Keep up the great work!"

Please Read before emailing your
questions...
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.

The Boxer as a
Breed...
We are looking for a few good homes! Do you want to rescue a Boxer? I mean really
rescue a Boxer?
AABR has no shortage of applicants that want a Boxer that
is good with kids, dogs, cats, pocket pets, letter carriers, and delivery
guys... They want puppies or young dogs that come housebroken, with no
medical problems, and come perfectly trained. And of course we have
Boxers that come close to those high standards.
But there is a misperception of the
Boxer Breed. The Boxer
is a strong minded, self confident breed that requires their owners to be
the same. They are also a physically strong dog. That means that if
you don't control them by employing good leadership skills, you aren't
going to be able to make up for it by physically controlling them as some
small dog owners can get away with.
We are looking for a few good homes to adopt, or even just
foster some of our stronger minded but typical boxers. They are just
dogs that being true to their breed, need homes where the humans are not a
shade less than "top dog". These dogs have spirit and drive, and
work hard to please their leaders. Given the right homes and
opportunities, dogs like Chance and Milo will be loving, obedient family
members.
Do you have the Right Stuff?
Their trainer can't say enough
good things about these boys.
The special person(s) who are
interested in adopting Chance or Milo will get to spend some time with them
and their teacher, and for FREE, learn what makes their teacher so
impressed with these boys. You will also have to show their trainer
that you have the right stuff before you can take one of them home.
So if are interested in some
great boxers, and you already have an application in with AABR, please
email me
sandy@adoptaboxerrescue.com and we can tell you more about them.
If you don't have an app in yet, please fill out one now (Adopt/Foster Application)
and email me ASAP letting me know
you would like to be considered for their forever homes!
Many
of you have been following the progress of Nick and we thank you for your

Nick's progress and how two very special organizations helped AABR take
care of Nick!
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, Stella, Lucy, Mya and Hooch, and now EVE and Fred.
The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs in
need of medical care.
Thatıs 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.
