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!"

AABR Foster
Homes and Volunteers Needed We
need help through out the Adopt A Boxer
region.
Rescue
transport is the link from one heart to another.
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.
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.
If you
would like to help please mail a check to:

yourself, now is the time to read or re-read our training

Nothing In Life Is Free (NILIF)
06/21/09
- Urgent foster or Adoptive home needed
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.
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?
A CASE OF NEGLECT!!!! (Click on
Picture to enlarge)
Jasmine
is a 10 year old brindle female who was surrendered
to the shelter after her owner stated that he was
getting divorced.
Jasmine's
little "nubby" never stopped wagging the whole time
she was at the shelter. Poor Jasmine is in terrible
shape. She has sores all over her body from being
crated and urinating on her self. Jasmine was kept
in a cage in a "back room" of the home. She is so
thin that you can literally pick her up with one
arm. THIS IS SUCH A CASE OF NEGLECT!! Her nails have
not been cut for years.
The shelter is thinking of
bringing charges against the owner.
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 yes, please realize that the Boxer you
may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.
Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, let us
suggest a few that we feel will match your home. That is what we are
good at. 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.

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!
Please email your friends, family, & adoptive homes to use igive.com a
free and easy way to raise $ for AABR while shopping.
