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 clicking on the link below:

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. 

LOST BOXER - 08/25/2010 - AABR Mocha

Mocha is such a smart boxer, the foster dad woke up this morning to find Mocha waiting for him at his front door!!!!

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.

Update 8/25/10

Mocha

 

Want to really "rescue" a boxer?
  1. 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!)
  2. 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.
  3. 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? 
  4. Email AABR Special Adoptions...  I'm up for it!
Spotlight on: Monk and Dempsey - Update 6/20/10
Monk and Dempsey are just two of our dogs that have been rescued by AABR, but are being affected by our lack of available foster homes.

Needs Foster Home

Monk

Monk has been in the kennel for five months now - please offer to provide a foster home for him!

Monk continues to make progress in his basic training. He is looking for a home that wants a buddy they can exercise with everyday and continue with training. Monk is a big boy and needs someone that can handle a large dog. Is that you? Are you looking for a buddy? Please apply to adopt this awesome boy today.

Sadly, the kennel has been home to Dempsey for a year now and he recently turned 5 years old there.  Dempsey needs to be in a home that has a consistent routine.  He would do best in a low activity home with no children because he is easily startled.  Once your earn Dempsey's love and trust, he is your best friend!

Dempsey knows sign language for all of his basic obedience commands.  He would do best in a home with an easygoing, submissive dog.  Please submit an application today if you are interested in fostering or adopting Dempsey.

DOGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

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!

Spotlight on:  - PLEASE READ
 

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!
