10/13/06 - Some things you never get used to...

Below is a graphic picture that you may find too hard to view.

NO animal should be chained anywhere...

They cut the chain out of her neck last night and are transporting her to the hospital this morning.  I will go and meet her today.  She will need surgery most likely. DISGUSTING!  She is so sweet and constantly gives kisses and wiggles.

Update 10/21/06

 

AABR received a phone call from the man who actually found Hope!    
 
He said he is a railroad worker and he was going about his business working on the railroad as usual when he and his co-worker heard whimpering coming from the wooded area.  He walked into the woods and there was little HOPE. She was scared and shaking.  It is not clear if she was chained to the tree or tangled around the tree.  Either way this was no place for a puppy.  He saw how injured she was and knew he had to act quickly.  What luck she had. If they were working just 10 feet farther away they would not have heard her crying!! It was only a matter of days till she died an AGONIZING death alone in the woods. The man immediately carried Hope to his car where he took her to the PA SPCA.  To his amazement, the PA SPCA would not take Hope into their care.  They told the man she was to injured and they would not accept her.  So back in the car she went enduring the pain of a heavy chain cutting into her neck. They gave him a map to show him how to get to PACCA (Philadelphia Animal Care and Control) where they immediately called Adopt A Boxer Rescue for help.  Within hours of the call, AABR had HOPE in their care.  This kind man called and offered to adopt HOPE but realized he was not home enough to take care of a puppy.  The story of HOPE is one we never want to see again.  To Hope's Angel, THANK YOU for caring and taking the time to get Hope the help she needed.  Life will be very different for Hope from this day forward.  It will be the kind of life that she and every dog deserves from the beginning.  It will be a life of giving and getting unconditional LOVE.

(News story)

 

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, then fill out an online application.

Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

And yes, we realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, we want you to advise us as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  Or let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a Boxer.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
