07/11/07- Mindy has been diagnosed with a tick
borne illness. A report from her
foster...
I talked to the vet. They found the underlying cause of her blood issue,
she has Babeosis. It is a tick borne illness. They found it by
accident (apparently it can be hard to detect), which is really good because
her blood issues would have continued until this was found. They needed to
send her blood out again to find out which specific species she has and then
they were ordering the appropriate treatment today. I have to call tonight,
but hopefully she will start the treatment tomorrow. Once she has the
treatment, then they can work on getting the blood levels where they should
be. With the Babeosis, the treatment will never completely eradicate the
organism, so there will be a possibility of relapse, but now that we know it
is there, she would be given treatment right away, so that is good.
In the past few days she has really come out of her shell. She is sweet
and hilarious and has some unbelievably cute ways about her! At this point
she is housetrained, we were working hard on that one and we have also been
working on basic commands which are coming along very well, she is very
smart. So all is well here.

This little cutie pie has been with me for a few days now and it is
unbelievable how laid back and gentle she is. She is super curious, always
checking things out. She has met the resident cats and is very well behaved
with them. She has also met another small dog and things went okay there
too.
Right now she is resting up and also getting fattened up. Once she is
feeling better I am sure she will come out of shell a little more. Did you
see her curly tail?! That just makes her all the cuter!

- Mindy
This little sweet boxer girl was pulled from the shelter on Saturday
moments before her time was up. The shelter manager informed me that they
are so overloaded with dogs that they were euthanizing dogs the hour they
came off stray hold so we rushed to get this little girl out. This is the
sick reality of pet over population. She is about 11-12 months old and the
transporter and kennel staff have all said she is sweet, laid back and just
loves everyone. As soon as we learn more about Mindy we will update her
page.

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 |
