Adopt A Boxer Rescue - proud and grateful
recipients of a grant from the ASPCA

good relationship of AABR Philadelphia, PA area volunteer
Colleen Kane, this grant will help AABR rescue and care for
many of the dogs coming for the Philly area.
Philadelphia, PA is one of the ASPCA's
targeted Mission Orange Sites. You can read more about it by

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.

woke up this morning to find Mocha waiting for him at his

Good girl Mocha!!!!!!!
_________________________________________
Mocha is lost in Allentown PA!!!!
She was last seen at the intersection
of Basin Street and Auburn.
She has a black collar on her but no
tags. She has only been at her foster home since
this past Saturday, and slipped by her dog walker as she
was being released from her leash after a walk today.
Volunteers are needed to search and
post flyers... Please call number above to help!!!!!!
On catching lost dogs...
When dogs are lost, they are
stressed out and scared. It is much better to
slip a "slip leash" over their head, rather than to
grab and hold them by their collars. Note: You
can make a slip leash out of almost any leash by
inserting the clip end of the leash through the
handle, and using the resulting loop to put over
their head. Also, don't ever chase a loose
dog. Rather entice them with treats and walk
or run in the opposite direction calling them to
follow.
Please print out, post, and/or carry with you, if you
live or can travel to the Allentown PA area to help find
MOCHA!!!!!!
Pennsylvania's puppy mill
dogs were dealt a crippling blow by Governor Rendell
Today
Pennsylvania's puppy mill dogs were dealt a crippling blow by Governor
Rendell, Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, and the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture.
As many of you
know, Governor Rendell is attempting to weaken our hard fought new dog
laws by permitting commercial breeders to continue keeping their breeding
dogs on painful wire flooring. Wire flooring was outlawed in 2008. Many
of the waivers issued to the breeders expire in October of this year, so
the Department of Agriculture decided to circumvent our new dog laws with
a regulation in an attempt to once again protect the commercial breeders
rather than the dogs of Pennsylvania.
Even though,
legal authorities agree, you cannot trump an existing law with a
regulation, today PA's Regulatory Review Commission passed the harmful
regulation at the urging of the Rendell Administration, and Russell
Redding is now permitting the breeders to expose their pregnant and
nursing mothers to harmful chicken wire flooring. Secretary Redding also
(by policy) is allowing breeders to not provide their breeding dogs with
access to outdoor runs. Access to outdoor runs is also required under our
new dog laws, but Secretary Redding, Special Secretary Jessie Smith, and
Director Sue West don't want the breeders to have to obey this law
either. Better that breeding dogs spend the entirety of their lives
trapped inside.
Basically, the
Rendell Administration is gutting every important aspect of our new laws -
laws designed to improve living conditions for hundreds of thousands of
dogs over the next twenty years. This is a governor we applauded and
praised for his efforts on behalf of PA's puppy mill dogs. Not sure why
he and his staff have flipped and are now hurting the very dogs he
promised to help. It is a sad time in Pennsylvania. Please contact
Jessie Smith, Russell Redding, Sue West, Agriculture Legal Counsel David
Kennedy (addresses below), and let them know just how disappointed you
are. Then contact your family and friends and ask them not to visit or
spend money in Pennsylvania - our puppy mill problem is far from being
solved. And the dogs will continue to suffer.
It never should have
happen, but it did, and it’s irreversible. On a very hot and muggy day
last week, at a Stepping Up ceremony, meant to congratulate and note the
passing of students from one grade to the next, tragedy struck. A family
of loved ones had been loaded into a car to travel to the school for the
event. But when they got there, all but the family dog went inside. The
event lasted the better part of three hours, but their little dog didn’t.
There were tears and anguish when the
discovery was made. Other family members would have to be told that their
little friend and loved one was dead. It was tragic, and yes,
“criminal”. It is illegal and cruel to leave any living being in a car in
hot weather. Even at an outdoor temperature of 70 degrees, a closed car
can heat up 10 to 20 degrees in a very short time. And opening the
windows a bit doesn’t help that much. And that day it was in the high
80’s.
I can’t get it out of my mind, so I had
to write this. Please don’t leave a pet, a child, or even an older
person, in a closed up car in this heat. There was no good reason to
bring the family dog to this event. But if you find yourself in a
situation where you feel you have to make a quick stop, and your pet is in
the car, consider a “drive-in” if possible, or use a remote start or
second key to keep the air conditioner on while you run in, or ask
permission of a store employee to bring your pet inside or assist you in a
purchase or transaction while you wait with your pet. Or just bring the
pet home and go back out to complete your task.
Our pets depend on us to make the right
decisions for them. There was no excuse for this.

Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
While only PETCO stores in these areas carried the affected SKUs, we

In anews
release, Natural Balance said the recall is being issued out of an
“abundance of caution” based on an “isolated instance” in which a
product sample randomly tested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
had a positive result for Salmonella. They also said no illnesses
related to this recall have been reported to date.
Customers who have purchased Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Chicken Dry
Dog formula with the “Best By” date of June 17, 2011, from PETCO, may
bring it back and return it to us for a full refund.
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!!
My foster mom brought me to the doctor to find out
what the problem is with my legs. The Doc says it
looks like something is wrong with my spinal cord. I
am going to need an MRI, which is really expensive (at
least $2000). Please help AABR pay for my expensive
medical treatment by sponsoring me.
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!
Rocky is ready for his forever home! We are still raising money
to cover his chemo. The generous donations we have already
received have helped pay for his treatments and Rocky's cancer is now
in remission.
Gracie is only 7 months old and has issues with her back end -
she seems sore and not able to walk very well.
According to the prior owner, Gracie was hit by a car
which resulted in the amputation of her leg.
AABR has a wonderful Doctor (Carlos Hodges) that has
committed to taking her on and getting her the best
care he can give her; replacing the hip if needed.
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!
