of a grant by The Boxer Rescue Foundation
Adopt A Boxer Rescue - proud and grateful
recipients of a grant from the ASPCA
AABR recently received a grant from the
ASPCA Philly RAP for $2,050. Thanks to the hard work and
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.
Potentially Explosive BBC Doc on Purebreds
Set to Air Stateside
If you love your purebred boxer, be prepared to
be very outraged by the reality that is the purebred breeder world.
On one side we have the puppy mill breeder who
will breed any two dogs together to supply the pet shop industry.
On the other side we have champion breeders who despite passing on
known genetic diseases and deformities, breed mothers to sons and
fathers to daughters to pass on dogs that are deformed and live
their lives suffering!
When "Pedigree
Dogs Exposed" first aired on the BBC in August 2008, the film's
depiction of the extreme health problems suffered by some pedigreed
dogs caused a national outrage. In fact, the BBC felt so strongly
about its own documentary that, bucking tradition, it refused to air
the annual Crufts dog competition, which is as prestigious in Britain
as the Westminster or National Dog Show is in the U.S.
Stateside, BBC America premiered the program on Thursday.
"Pedigree Dogs Exposed" puts forth interviews and at times disturbing
footage about dog breeding that suggest it is an immoral and unethical
practice. Featured in the documentary is Sylvie (above), a Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel that according to the film suffers from
Syringomyelia, meaning her skull does not sufficiently fit her brain.
The documentary states that Syringomyelia is described in humans as
"one of the most painful conditions you can have, a burning pain, a
piston-type headache, so that even light touch, even items of clothing
can induce discomfort for these animals."
At the start of the
program (which you can watch below in its entirety), a narrator
states, "This film reveals, for the very first time, the extent of
health and welfare problems in pedigree dogs. Later on, a talking-head
interviewee says, "People love these animals. It's like seeing a close
relative falling apart. In many ways I think that's just criminal."
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!
Unable to Adopt?
Sponsor A Boxer!
We know a lot of
people love Boxers and would love to adopt another, but can’t for a
variety of reasons.If you are unable to adopt or
foster, then please consider sponsoring a Boxer that touches your heart.You probably have a favorite dog on our web site--there are so many
to choose from!Your donation helps pay for food,
vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm preventative and other costly
medical tests, such
as x-rays, blood work, ultrasounds, biopsies and heartworm treatments.We are stretching our resources to accommodate the increased need
and increased expenses -- now you can help by sponsoring one of our Boxers
while they wait for a forever home.Your sponsorship
can be a one time gift or a monthly contribution. Please know
that every little bit counts and donations of all sizes are greatly
appreciated.
Sponsoring a boxer
is a great way to honor your own dog or to serve as a memorial of a dearly
missed boxer. They also make wonderful gifts for
holidays or milestones like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries,
graduations.If you donate $50 or more to sponsor a
dog, your name will be listed as a Sponsor on that dog’s page. Please don't
hesitate to be a second sponsor if a dog already has one sponsor.
Many of these Boxers have so many medical needs and they need all the
extra help we can get from loving, caring people like you!

I AM READY FOR MY FOREVER HOME!! Great news - after all the generous
donations and help from AABR and our supporters, we think Rocky's cancer is
in remission!!! The vet says that what is left of the tumor on his leg is
most likely all scar tissue. Knowing that he now has the life expectancy of
any spry 8 year old boxer, we are actively looking for a forever home for
Rocky to spend his golden years in. This guy would really be perfect for
just about any family, from first timers to old pros. He continues to win
the hearts of literally everyone he meets.
Here is some more info on Rocky so you can see how easily he can fit into
your life: He is just about the perfect gentleman. I take him everywhere
with me because he is so well behaved. He can go to anyone's house and be
comfortable. He is good with kids, cats, dogs, crowds - everything! This
is the dog you can take to a child's soccer game and know that he will
happily greet everyone there with a wiggle and nub wags. He never jumps up,
so I can trust him around the young and the old. He rides perfectly in the
car, even on long journeys. I can leave him for hours and come home to find
not a paper out of place in my apartment. He does not bark, even though the
dog downstairs barks constantly. The best part about Rocky is this little
dance he does when you come home, its pure joy that he has a family and a
warm place to sleep. I literally can not say one negative thing about this
dog.
Please consider adding Rocky to your family - he is an extremely easy dog
with a winning personality...what more could you want??
