In are increasing attempt to try and prevent more dogs from becoming strays or being surrendered due to behavior issues, AABR supports the need for owners to become active partners in their dog's training.  AABR hosts training events from time to time in our area, and will also post other training events that we feel will assist our efforts towards this goal. 

Please bookmark this page and stop by often to see what we are doing.

Bonnie booked a Tupperware fund raiser for AABR. 

They offer a subset of their current products in this fund raiser and 40% of the total of the orders will go to AABR, which is a great deal!  Let Bonnie know if you're interested in a catalog and she can send one to you.  It is booked for mid-June so there is plenty of time!

AABR will be there... Will You?

By Andrew Gans
09 Jun 2008

Two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters will autograph copies of her best-selling children's tome, "Broadway Barks," July 12 at 12:30 PM at the Broadhurst Theatre.

	Peters' new tome

The book signing at the Broadhurst (235 West 44th Street) will precede the tenth annual Broadway Barks! dog and cat adopt-a-thon in Shubert Alley, which is scheduled from 3:30-6:30 PM in Shubert Alley (located between 44th and 45th Streets, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue).

Celebrity presentations of pets from citywide animal shelters will take place beginning at 5:3 PM. A list of celebs taking part in the event will be announced at a later date.

The annual adopt-a-thon was created by pals Peters and Mary Tyler Moore — who will again co-host this year's event — to find homes for pets from city animal shelters. In a statement Moore said, "This year we're delighted to welcome two more shelters to our Broadway Barks family, Arf and Save Kitty, and according to recent statistics, we learned that we are making a difference. In 2002, the rate of euthanasia among shelter animals was at 70%. We are proud that as a result of our efforts, in 2007, the number is down to 43%."

Peters, who adopted her dogs, Kramer and Stella, from the ASPCA and AC&C, added, "Our work is bringing us closer to the day when we will no longer have to euthanize any healthy and treatable homeless cats and dogs because of a lack of space. As a community, we are most effective in helping animals when we pool our strengths to achieve what is, after all, a shared goal — the elevation and continued welfare of animals in our society."

The adopt-a-thon will feature a sampling of pets from several New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies, including A Cause for Paws, Adopt A Boxer Rescue, Animal Haven, Anjellicle Cats Rescue, ASPCA, AC&C, BARC, Bide-A-Wee, Bobbi & the Strays, City Critters, Humane Society of New York, Husky House, Kitty Kind, Long Island Greyhound Rescue, Loving Touch, Metropolitan Maltese Rescue, Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue, NYC Siamese Rescue, Pet-I-Care, PLUTO, Russell Refuge, Staten Island Council for Animal Welfare, Stray from the Heart, Tigger Foundation, Arf and Save Kitty.

The afternoon event, sponsored by the ASCPA and Pedigree Food for Dogs, will also feature an auction of celebrity-autographed memorabilia. Proceeds from the auction and other donations received during the day will benefit the shelters and organizations attending Broadway Barks 10.

For more information call (212) 840-0770, ext. 477, or visit www.BroadwayBarks.com.

*Peters will also offer a reading from "Broadway Barks," a performance of "Kramer's Song" and a signing at the Barnes & Noble Lincoln Square in Manhattan June 12. The free event, which is open to the public, is scheduled for 10 AM-12 noon.

Peters' "Broadway Barks," which features illustrations by Liz Murphy, was released in late April on the Blue Apple Books label and boasts a CD featuring a lively reading of the story by Peters and a lovely song ("Kramer's Song") penned by the Tony-winning Annie Get Your Gun and Song & Dance star. The charming children's book, the tale of a down-on-his-luck, yet scrappy dog Kramer, benefits Broadway Barks, the charitable organization co-founded by Peters and good friend Mary Tyler Moore over a decade ago.

Come on by the PETSMART in Broomall, Pa on SATURDAY April 12, 2008 from 11am -2pm. We will have a few of our finest BOXERS available for adoption on hand to make new friends, and just maybe find their forever homes. The store is located on Springfield Rd near the intersection of Rt 3 - West Chester Pike. Please stop by and say hello. We can't wait to see you there!!

Saturday, March 22, 2008

Please come out and make some new BOXER BUDDIES at the Petsmart in Springfield, Pa just off  Rt 476 at the Lima/Springfield exit near the intersection of Rts 1 & 320 in the Marple Crossroads Shopping Center.

The date is Saturday, March 22, 2008 from 11am until approximately 2pm.

We will have dogs available for adoption, and volunteers armed with all the info you need about this breed, and the Adoption Procedure.

We are also in a serious need of financial support at this time. We have rescued several dogs in the past few months with serious medical issues, and the costs have been overwhelming.

If you can bring a donation it will be appreciated more than you know.

Thanks so much for your continued support of Adopt a Boxer Rescue. We look forward to meeting you!

AABR will be hosting "Santa and your pet picture day" at the Wilkes Barre Petsmart behind the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes Barre PA off rte 81.

Volunteers are needed for both days. We always have such a great time!!!!

Please bring your pet in for a picture with Santa and support the boxers in need. Please tell your friends and family. Thanks

"My husband & I own a bar & grille in Bethlehem, PA & we thought it was a great place to host an adopt a boxer rescue event. We're planning it for Thursday, November 15th in the evening. The bartender (myself) & server are going to donate all of our tips from that night to boxer rescue. We are a smaller neighborhood bar (we legally seat about 60) but it will still help. And it will be nice to educate people on the benefits of adopting rather than buying a pup from a breeder or pet store. And Dawn said a volunteer or two in my area will come out with info & a couple adoptable dogs which will definitely boost donations."

Please come see us at the Springfield Petsmart in the Marple Crossroads Shopping Center (Marshalls, Marple 10 Movie, Circuit City) on the Rte1- Media Bypass in Springfield, Pa 19064. We will be there from Noon to 3pm, and EVE & JOJO would be so happy to meet you. See you then!

Adopt A Boxer Rescue will be at Braxton's in Wayne PA for Harvest Day September 29th!  Come one and all for a great time!  KIDS will have a blast!  Food, fun, games, moon bounce, dog rescue groups, cat rescue groups and lots more!  Mark your calendar now!!  Details to follow!

Come have a fun day and help all the rescues continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs and cats!

AABR will be at the Petsmart National Adoptathon in Wilks Barre PA

AABR will be there from 11am until 4 pm. on Saturday and 12 to 4 pm on Sunday

SHUBERT ALLEY GOES TO THE  DOGS (AND CATS!) WITH BROADWAY  BARKS 9!   A STAR-STUDDED DOG  AND CAT ADOPT-A-THON IN SHUBERT ALLEY   SATURDAY,  JULY 14 - 3:30 PM -  6:30 PM

 BERNADETTE PETERS AND MARY TYLER MOORE AND SUCH BROADWAY FRIENDS AS:
 
 Angela Lansbury, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, David Hyde Pierce, Jo Anne  Worley, Jerry Mathers, Jane Carr, John Lloyd Young, Maureen McGovern,  Cheyenne Jackson, Michael Cerveri,  Debra Monk, and Karen Ziemba and  many more Broadway Stars To Appear In Special Benefit For New York  City Animal Shelters And Adoption Agencies
 
 Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore will host the ninth annual BROADWAY  BARKS!, a star-studded dog and cat adopt-a-thon benefiting New York City  animal shelters and adoption agencies. The event, produced by Broadway  Care/Equity Fights AIDS and sponsored by the ASPCA with additional  sponsorship by the New York Times, Pedigree, and RCA Small Wonder will  take place on Saturday, July 14th in Shubert Alley (located between 44th  and 45th Streets, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue). The festivities  begin at 3:30 p.m.; celebrity presentations of pets from citywide animal  shelters will take place between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. (In the event of rain,  BROADWAY BARKS 9! will be rescheduled for Saturday, July 28 from 3:30p.m.  - 6:30p.m.)
 
 Back by "pawpular" demand, BROADWAY BARKS 9! will help many of New York  City's shelter animals find permanent homes by informing New Yorkers about  the plight of the thousands of "homeless" dogs and cats in the  metropolitan area. Last year's BROADWAY BARKS! attracted an audience of  more than 6,000 theater fans, pet owners, and animal lovers, and featured  the participation of more than 24 animal shelters from the New York City  area.
 
 "In 2006, for the first time in New York City's history, the euthanasia  rate for dogs and cats in the city's Animal Care & Control shelters fell  below 50%. A total of 20, 581 animals were placed into homes. 9,313 were  adopted; 9,937 were transferred for eventual adoption to local shelters  and rescue groups; and 1,331 were returned to their owners," said Moore.
 
 "This milestone means we are saving more than half of the dogs and cats in  our city shelters," said Ed Sayres, president & CEO of the ASPCA. "We are  are proud that New York City's efforts to save the lives of adoptable  animals has reached this important benchmark."
 
 Peters, who adopted her dogs, Kramer and Stella, from the ASPCA and AC&C,  adds, "It's bringing us closer to the day when we will no longer have to  euthanize any healthy and treatable homeless cats and dogs because of a  lack of space. As a community, we are most effective in helping animals  when we pool our strengths to achieve what is, after all, a shared goal --  the elevation and continued welfare of animals in our society."
 
 A galaxy of Broadway stars will join Peters and Moore for this special  benefit, presenting the animals for adoption. Celebrity presenters include  Angela Lansbury (Deuce); Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna (Chicago); David Hyde  Pierce, Jason Danieley, Michael McCormick, Debra Monk, and Karen Ziemba  (Curtains); Jerry Mathers and Paul Vogt (Hairspray), Priscilla Lopez and  Mandy Gonzalez (In the Heights); Cheyenne Jackson and Kerry Butler (Xanadu);  Michael Cerveris (LoveMusik); Jo Anne Worley, John Glover, Beth Leavel,  Gerry Vichi and Patrick Wetzel (The Drowsy Chaperone); Ashley Brown, Jane  Carr, Daniel Jenkins, and Gavin Lee (Mary Poppins); John McMartin and  Maureen Moore (Grey Gardens); Michael Berresse (A Chorus Line); John Earl  Jelks (Radio Golf); Michael Mulheren (Deuce); J. Robert Spencer and John  Lloyd Young (Jersey Boys); Orfeh and Andy Karl (Legally Blonde); David  Hibbard and Martin Moran (Spamalot); Sebastian Arcelus, Jayne Houdyshell,  and Kendra Kassebaum (Wicked); Stephanie J. Block; Maureen McGovern; and  many more.
 
 BROADWAY BARKS 9! will feature a sampling of potential pets from several  New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies, including A Cause for  Paws, Adopt A Boxer Rescue, Angelical Cat, Animal Haven, ASPCA, AC&C, BARC,  Bide-A-Wee, Bobbi & the Strays, City Critters, Humane Society of New York,  Husky House, Kitty Kind, Long Island Greyhound Rescue, Loving Touch,  Metropolitan Maltese Rescue, Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue, NYC Siamese  Rescue, Pet-I-Care, PLUTO, Russell Refuge, Staten Island Council for  Animal Welfare, Stray from the Heart, and Tigger Foundation.  Representatives from these organizations will be on hand to offer  educational information on spaying and neutering.

BROADWAY BARKS 9! will also feature an auction of celebrity-autographed  memorabilia. Additional auction merchandise will be available via the  Internet by visiting   www.eBay.com <http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQrdZ0QQsassZbroadwaybarks7> . Proceeds from the auction  and other donations received during the day will benefit the shelters and  organizations attending BROADWAY BARKS 9! We look forward to seeing you   at  BROADWAY BARKS <http://www.broadwaybarks.com>  Saturday, July 14th! Visit us again at   www.BroadwayBarks.com <http://www.broadwaybarks.com> !  We always  love to hear from you.

"no doggies please" 

On Sunday, February 18th, Kim Barnett of Follow My Lead presented another foster home/volunteer training seminar for Adopt A Boxer Rescue.  Just as the previous two, this one was equally informative and thought-provoking.  As skillful as Kim’s approach and teachings are, her methods are quite basic and simple to understand and apply.  She teaches humans to better understand and communicate with their dogs and the importance of being the pack leader.  Ivor, her right hand man, is a perfect ambassador for the Boxer breed, and his contribution to the day and the seminar was especially delightful.

Those who attend Kim’s seminars come away with a much better insight on how to understand and live a happier life with their dog, whether there is one dog, or multiple dogs, in the home.  Kim has a love for boxers but of course her expertise is not limited to this breed.  Kim is an outstanding behaviorist and trains all breeds.

We, at Adopt a Boxer Rescue, feel very fortunate and grateful for all the commitment and assistance Kim and her Follow My Lead team has shown Adopt A Boxer Rescue. 

Kim will be hosting another seminar for AABR in the Shrewsbury, PA area on March 18th.  Set that day aside and see the events page for details.

Feb 18, 2007 - There will be a Foster Home Training Seminar with Kim Barnett on Feb 18, 2007 12 -6 pm at the Inn of Chester Springs

815 North Pottstown Pike, Exton, Chester County, PA 19341

DIRECTIONS
  in Chester Springs PA 19425.

Seating is limited so please sign up early. 
Pack a lunch and come to an information filled day!

To reserve a seat, please email:   
Elaine Hauck at ehauck@comcast.net  or lovinlife1217@yahoo.com
No dogs please.

You are cordially invited to be the guests of Adopt A Boxer Rescue on Sunday, December 10, 2006, between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, for a valuable and informative foster home training seminar on canine behavior.  Well known trainer Kim Barnett from England, of Follow My Lead, will explore pack dynamics and how being a good leader benefits the dogs we love and care for.

Foster homes and adoptive homes thinking about adding a member to the pack, as well as transporters, etc., will benefit from Kim’s knowledge and experience and her clear and concise presentation.  After attending a recent seminar of Kim’s in PA, it was apparent that we could benefit from Kim’s skills on Long Island.

The seminar is free, the information invaluable, and Kim makes it all very interesting and fun.

Currently the location of the seminar is planned for western Suffolk County, Long Island, NY,(exact location is subject to change should the seating exceed capacity.)  

Please email us if you would like to attend and we will finalize the location and give you the details.   

Of course we are always looking for new foster homes, so if you have been looking at our available dogs page and wondering if you could do it, this is the time to learn what fostering is about.  First come first serve, subject to seating capacity.  Must register in advance. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi All!

This is TJ, and me and Maggie made it to Broadway on Saturday!  Broadway Barks, that is...

We had a great time, gave out a lot of kisses, and even went on stage with Harvey Fierstein!   Can you believe that!  Maggie was a big hit with Harvey because her foster Mom painted her toenails puppy pink, and that was the first thing Mr Fierstein noticed when he saw us.

That's him in the picture pointing to Maggie's Toes saying "look - she's got pink toenails - she's got pink toenails!!!"

Big stars like Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters were there.  I don't remember their TV shows.  I don't think I was born yet... But they were sure nice ladies to help all us guys find homes and raise money so that more of us can be helped.

I  think the best part of the day though, was when I got to go home with my new foster parents.  I'm now in a nice home, with a foster brother and sister!

Things are starting to look up for me.  Just thought you'd like to know.

Love to all, 

TJ

2^nd Annual Boxer Rescue Bingo
April 2, 2005
Elysburg Fire Company
Elysburg, PA 

This year's bingo was a huge success in raising money to help with the many rising costs of rescue.

We are hoping to make this an annual event with the help of the many boxer/animal lovers out there.  Listed below are items needed for the bingo.  Please contact

if you can help in any way, including helping the day of the bingo.

Ideas /Gift Cards:  Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Petco or any chain not restricted to your area.  We use these for raffles and many times these places will donate them to non profit organizations.  If you need a letter (which most ask for) one will be provided for you via e-mail.

Another way of giving is by simply mailing in $1.00 (Or whatever you feel you would like to give).  If everyone would send in $1.00, it would add up to some great funds to help these precious animals who need our help…

Adopt A Boxer Rescue volunteer Karen from PA, was on FOX News Thursday, Dec 2nd, at 8am to promote Adopt A Boxer Rescue!

It was filmed at Braxton's in Wayne PA

Adopt A Boxer Rescue Awareness!!!!

Well, it was an adventure!  Jenn and I arrived at 6:20 AM.  We had one spot at 7:41 and one at about 8 ish.  We filled Rich Britton in on what we do as volunteers for AABR and who each of the dogs are and what's their story. 

Jenn went with Max first. Cara, Buster and I was on the other side of the host, Rich.  It was great coverage.  She got to tell how to adopt, our dire need for foster homes, need for transporters and the great qualities of the Boxer.  Also, if you want a dog that is a total couch potato then don't get a Boxer.   Each segment was about 2 minutes so we got to say a lot of valuable information. 

Also, said not to buy a puppy for Christmas or as a present for anyone but to adopt a dog from a rescue group.  We stressed the new web site and it was on the bottom of the screen the entire time.  The second segment was just as informative.  Each segment Max, Cara and Buster were on.  It was the first time FOX ever did it that way and they really liked this way.  In the first hour after the segment we had already 700 hits on the web site and a total of 9 new apps, 6 of which were for Buster.  

I 'm sure all the hits were not from the FOX coverage but hopefully it helps get the word out about us.
