AABR Available

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, Eve, Fred, Nick and now Mikey. 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.

Please read: Adopt A Boxer Rescue is going GREEN

We are going GREEN because we care for the EARTH, and we also want all your contributions to go to the care of the dogs and not administrative costs such as paper and postage stamps. Each year, AABR prints out and mails donation THANK YOUs along with contribution TAX letters to our many contributors. We would like to do this through email, which will save us a lot of money. When you "MAIL" your donation to us using a check, please add your email to the memo portion on the check. You will receive your Thank You/TAX letter via email. Thanks!

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 fill out an adoption application and then 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?
Email AABR Special Adoptions... I'm up for it! and tell us where you're located, and which "Special" boxer you are interested in.

AABR is in urgent need of foster homes!

AABR has several dogs right now in need of a foster home. Many of these dogs are waiting in kennels. Sadly, we have had to turn away many boxers that are in danger in shelters because we simply have nowhere for them to go. Around holidays and vacation times our need is even greater. If you have adopted or fostered for us before, please consider helping one of our dogs in need of foster to get them out of the kennel and into a home. If you have not yet been approved, just submit an online foster application. (The foster app is the same form as the adoption app... Just check off the box that says you would like to Foster). If you can not foster at this time, please consider sponsoring one of our dogs to help with their kennel bills. Our boxers need you - foster homes are what allows us to save their lives! Blaze and Zeus MD, spotlighted below, are just two of our boxers in need of a foster home - look for the Needs Foster Home above the pictures of our available dogs to see others looking for a foster family!
Blaze is a 2 year old white male who was surrendered to the shelter when his owner lost his home. He would do best in a home as an only dog, or with an easygoing female. Blaze would love a fenced yard to run in and an active family that can provide exercise and training. Apply today if you can foster Blaze. He is getting very stressed in the kennel.	Needs Foster Home Blaze
Needs Foster Home Zeus MD	Zeus is being returned to rescue and is in need of a new foster home. He is looking for an experienced family that can work with a protective dog. Zeus has been in a home with two female boxers and two teenage children. Zeus does wonderful with his family and would love to get back into a home. Please offer to help this handsome boy!

This is what AABR volunteers in NY State have been calling for! This is the closest we've ever been... We need your help to make a change in NEW YORK STATE's regulations regarding pet dealers. It takes less than 2 minutes to do.

According to the American Humane Association each year in the United States approximately 8 million stray and unwanted animals are turned into animal shelters. Nearly half of the animals turned into the shelters, approximately 3.7 million will be euthanized due to the lack of good homes.

We have a terrible pet overpopulation and animal cruelty problem, and finally New York State is poised to make way for a change. New York is one of the last states to maintain regulation of pet dealers solely at the state level. New York State’s pet dealer regulations do not adequately protect dogs in the state’s many commercial breeding facilities. These dogs typically spend their entire lives in tiny, cramped wire-floored cages that are stacked on top of each other—often outdoors, with no protection from the elements. Their puppies, which are purchased in pet stores, online and even on a breeder’s property, often go to their new homes with diseases, parasites or congenital and hereditary conditions. New owners are given the choice of returning sick puppies to pet stores where they will most likely be euthanized, or incurring the often lifetime costs associated with treating these illnesses.

Memorial

Opie

05/30/2013 - Memorial - Ziggy AKA Opie

It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Ziggy on May 29th.

Ziggy was not an easy dog to find a home for. He came to AABR as a stray from a shelter. As we started to learn more about him, we found that he had the traits of a dog that probably had to fend for himself for quite some time. He was friendly and a fun dog with toys but was not use to being handled.

One of our experienced fosters took him in knowing he had issues. He worked with him, and he did get better, but he hadn't got to the point of being adoptable when he came down with medical issues. Over the last few months, AABR's medical bills for Ziggy exceeded $4000. We never gave up on him and more importantly to Ziggy, his foster dad didn't either.

Over the last two weeks Ziggy was at the emergency hospital twice, fitted with and wore a 24 hour heart monitor, and given the best care possible. His foster dad was with him when he passed and he will miss him dearly.

Adopt A Boxer Rescue is there for all kinds of boxers and we don't give up on them... Even the hard ones. We have the best volunteers of any rescue and our thoughts and hearts are with Ed and Ziggy today.

Please help AABR continue to help the boxers by contributing towards AABR's medical bills for Ziggy and others.

DOGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Click on the Boxer's name for more info on each Available Dog. Read each bio very carefully, as not every rescue Boxer is suited for every home. If you feel that a certain Boxer is a good match for you and your lifestyle, then click here for our ONLINE APPLICATION.

And be happy for the ones that have been adopted... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place. We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.

Great Idea!
Have a family conversation, and discuss fostering a boxer for the any upcoming holidays.

If you aren't going away for the holidays, we could use your help. Some kennels and even some of our existing foster homes are not available to us during these times of year. What gift could be greater than to save a life!
