Jasper continues to do well. He does still have times where he doesn't
eat well, but that's pretty much it for the negative, thankfully! He
otherwise doesn't look or act sick.
We are going to get him to another vet for a check up since they've
graciously agreed to see him at no cost to AABR--hopefully it will be good
news.
All this guys wants is his people--he literally gets freaked out if he
wakes up and we've left the room without him or if he doesn't hear us
leave and he comes running like a madman to find us. All he needs is some
loving, attention, and a few treats now and again and he's happy!
We do still have him on the special food which costs
AABR about $30 per month--it doesn't sound like alot, but it adds up.
Since it really seems to help him, please consider helping AABR fund
Jasper's medically necessary special diet!

cancer, and the prognosis is terminal.
An
Update from his Foster Hero:
Jasper continues to live out his life in comfort.
He has learned about Greenies, is still having nothing to do with pigs
ears, and is willing to play with Princess but still isn't quite sure what
the heck to make of the little Beagle. He is on his kidney food, but has
days where he totally goes without eating--each time we get worried that
it's the first sign of badness, but so far so good. He is a typical
boxer--won't let his people out of his sight and always wants to lean on
you. He now has his own special fluffy bed because he's so skinny (though
he has put back on some weight). He is really a sweetheart. He thus far
has survived longer than we thought for which we are happy, but of course
grow more and more attached to him every day which will only make the end
of his life harder than ever.
It costs a lot of money
for Jasper's care. Thatıs where YOU come in. We need donations to
cover the medical bills for these dogs. Remember we get no public or private
funding. We rely on adoption fees and your donations to cover our expenses.
06/27/04 - Jasper has found his foster hero...
Jasper is in a wonderful home where he is being well
taken care of. Thank you to all those that have offered their well
wishes and their help.

Here's an update on Jasper, and unfortunately the news is not good. This poor baby has cancer, and the prognosis is terminal. He had to be moved from his foster home, and is now with us at our boarding kennel. He's getting lots of
TLC, long walks up in the field with my dogs. He's still got the boxer wiggles and kisses, and except for being thin, you'd never know anything was wrong.
All we ask is a loving foster home for Jasper. Just some place where he will experience a real home, even for just the short time he has. Yes, it's difficult, but not impossible.
Boxer lovers have big hearts.
2/28/04 -Jasper
Jasper is a 4yr old male boxer that was being turned into
a high kill shelter in PA. On his way into the shelter an applicant of ours
saw him and took him from the family dropping him off. He is deaf and thin.
He is going to the vets to get the works so we will know more shortly. He is
in a foster home with a cat and so far so good. There are 6 other boxers in
the home and Jasper is doing well.
