3/3/07 Angel,
AKA "Angie", is a completely different dog now! She is able to run around
with her new pals (both dogs and cats) and is slowly putting on the pounds.
What a change in a couple of weeks. She was so pathetic when first
found--emaciated with bowed legs. But it became clear that the deformation
was due to malnutrition and lack of exercise. NOW, Angie looks great and I
am happy to report to you that she is going to be a happy, healthy, pretty,
boxer girl. In fact, once she started feeling better, she has turned into
quite the feisty girl, full of personality and typical jovial boxer energy!
I would really like to see this girl in a home with another, energetic dog
so that she can play, play, and more play. I am working on the
housebreaking, she is still a little frightened of the outside. I am also
working on crate training, and although there is a little protest in the
beginning, she does eventually lay down and chill out. So far, Angie "sits"
like a champ, so other commands will come pretty easy I think. What a smart,
athletic, and beautiful boxer girl!
2/19/07 -
Well, my foster mom was calling me “Stinky” for the first day, but now I
have a new name—“Angel”—which is much more reflective of who I really am.
You see, some bad person had left me alone, cold, hungry, surrounded in my
own waste, just withering away into nothing. I am so tiny and skinny right
now. My foster mom says I am the tiniest boxer she has ever seen!
My two front legs were very bowed from malnutrition and neglect, so now I
have them in casts to try and straighten them out a little. THIS IS WHERE I
NEED YOUR HELP! I am by no means done with doctors. I most likely will need
surgery on my legs to straighten them out. Please help me become a normal
boxer pup by donating whatever you can to help pay for my medical care. I
hear my foster brothers and sister playing in the other room--and it sounds
like fun. I can’t wait until I become strong and well enough to run and play
with them. Right now, I need extra special love and care.
I will check in with you later, once I get use to these new surroundings.

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 |
