Blizzard is doing great.  Can you believe the difference in his before and after pictures? He is now 56 lbs, and a happy-go-lucky kinda guy who loves people and toys.

He has spent time around children of all ages and is a natural with them.  We made him sit for this picture when he was busy playing with a group of kids, hence the expression on his face.  He just wanted to play.

This boy will make a great addition to any family.

Blizzard is in a home in NYC with a super vet that is fostering him while he recovers from his trauma of starvation. He is looking great and feeling great.  He is  now working on his house manners.  Blizzard is great with other dogs and good with cats.

It's going really well.  He has already put on 10 pounds and no longer has loose stools.  He gets better every day and his personality is really coming thru.  Sweet! He gets along well with the other dogs, although he is sooo obsessed about food I have to keep him  separate for feedings. I took this photo tonight.

Blizzard is scheduled for neuter in 2 weeks.  I think he is strong enough now.

This sweetheart is so happy to be with people who love him and feed him.  Blizzard is so loving to each person he has met despite what some evil humans did to him.  When taken outside, he looks around in amazement at his new world.  He acts as if he has never seen the outside.  He looks with such wonder at the grass, birds the sky and then looks at me as if to say "Is this for real?  Am I really here"?  I try to comfort him with calm and confident words that everything will be OK now. 

AABR received the news of Blizzard and within hours he was in our vets care and being evaluated.  He needs to be fed numerous small meals everyday for quite sometime.  Other than being severely emaciated we believe Blizzard is going to be OK.  Much to the vets amazement, he was all kisses and wiggles.  When he wiggled he fell down so we are trying to keep his excitement to a minimum and hold him gently. 

He is in need of a loving foster home who has the time and patience to nurse him back to health.  He will need to be on a special diet and see the vet on a regular basis.  Please consider helping us help Blizzard with all of his care.  We could use help with his vet bills.

Blizzard needs a great foster home, a couple big soft beds, he could use a coat so he can go outside with out shivering, special diet food and more than anything he needs people out there to know what people are doing to man's best friends. 

There are also injured dogs like Rudy (broken hip) that need you and I.  Adopt A Boxer is all about helping the dogs that need us the most and that is what you can do for Blizzard and Rudy. Please consider helping sweet souls like Blizzard and Rudy.

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
