Adopt A Boxer Rescue promotes the need
for active participation of owners in the training of their dogs.
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.

Sproutfest! Sponsored by Finding Shelter Animal Rescue
Sunday, November 14 · 12:00pm - 3:00pm
West Goshen Community Park, West Chester, PA
Finding Shelter Animal Rescue began on January 1, 2010 as a no-kill rescue
for dogs and cats. Finding Shelter was inspired by our dog named Sprout, a
blind Chihuahua who was abandoned on the side of the road in November, 2009.
Sprout was sick and afraid and was expected to live only two, short weeks.
He has quite a bit of fight in him for such a small guy and on November 14,
2010 we will celebrate 1 year with Sprout in our lives. He is our own little
miracle. To celebrate this great milestone, we're holding a super-adoption
event in honor of Sprout’s anniversary. Please come out and celebrate with
us!

July 12th - Broadway Barks
10! Saturday, July 12, 3:30 PM
Shubert Alley, west of Broadway btwn. 44th and 45th Sts., Manhattan
This annual fundraiser and pet adopt-athon, hosted as always by Bernadette
Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, usually draws thousands of theater fans, pet
lovers, and a whole bunch of animal-friendly Broadway stars. Best of all,
the event raises money for all the city's animal shelters and rescues like
ours, and helps out lots of homeless pets. Details on this year's Broadway
Barks are below:
Broadway Barks 10 - July
12, 2008
3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, Shubert Alley , NYC
Peters Will Sign "Broadway Barks" Prior to Broadway Barks 10 on
July 12
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

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."

This annual fundraiser and pet adopt-athon, hosted as always by Bernadette
Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, usually draws thousands of theater fans, pet
lovers, and a whole bunch of animal-friendly Broadway stars. Best of all,
the event raises money for all the city's animal shelters and rescues like

Barks are below:

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, ,
Angelical Cat, Animal Haven, ASPCA, AC&C, BARC, Bide-A-Wee, Bobbi & the

Thanks to
Kim Barnett and the team at Follow My Lead for a wonderful, informative
seminar!
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.
Mar 10, 2007 - AABR will be holding another Adoption
Day on Saturday March 10 at the Petsmart at Sproul Rd and West Chester Pike

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
A
message from Kim Barnett:
As
the next AABR seminar draws closer, once again I'm filled with excitement
at the prospect of meeting and connecting with more people and making new
friends from this tremendous organization. One of the aims of the day is
to promote and encourage people to foster, though adopters and anyone with
a real interest in making the lives of dogs better is also welcome. This
will be our third seminar together in just a few months and the enthusiasm
in this group just keeps growing; my desire to share information is only
surpassed by your thirst for knowledge: we are truly creating the
ripple effect and I'm filled with pride in every volunteer. Rescue
can be daunting, but together we are proving that over and above placing
dogs in forever homes, we can offer real help in making the transition and
rehabilitation for these dogs and their people a much more fulfilling
experience, leading to fewer dogs coming back into rescue.
Winter is finally upon us, so please drive with care to the seminar. Light
snow is forecast so allow extra time and if you think you'll be late, just
call in and let us know, we'll keep track of you!
The team at Follow My Lead looks forward to a great day with you on
Sunday,
Kim

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.)
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.

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

2nd 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.
Spread the Word!
