04/28/08 Sampson has been in his
foster home for 2 1/2 wks., and his foster parents have only very good
things to say about him. He has gained weight, has a healthy appetite, is
completely housebroken (no accidents at all), gets along well with his bossy
foster sister.
Sampson (Bud as we sometimes call him) has had many visitors both young
and old. He is a gentleman with everyone he meets and is one happy guy. He
may be a senior boy, but he has tons of love to give and enjoys his daily
walks. He is very interested in the squirrels and groundhogs, and because of
this interest, I don't know how he'd do with cats. Sampson would do well in
almost any home, but I think he'd do best in a laid back, quiet household
where he can doze off whenever he'd like without interruptions. He is
stiff upon rising and the Vet thinks that he probably has some arthritis of
the spine and knees.
We love this guy dearly, and he has come a long way physically since his
shelter days.

Sampson has been at his foster
home for 4 days. He arrived exhausted, frail looking, showing very little
interest in food and very little interest in his foster parents and foster
sister. Well, after 2 days of rest and a lot of coaxing to eat and being
hand fed, he's become a new man. He has a bright spirit and a healthy
appetite. He has had several new visitors and has greeted them, including 3
& 5 year old kids. They brought out his Boxer wiggle big time!
He has been perfectly trustworthy in the house with no accidents and gets
along well with his 10 year old boxer foster sister. Sampson is an older
"gentleman" who would do well as a companion to someone or a family with a
quiet lifestyle. He seems to love everyone and was quite popular on his
visit today to the vet. He's a bit weathered looking, indicating he has not
had an easy nor loving life, but he's ready to give and receive lots of
love. He has such a darling, kind face. He's a true "gem", and his foster
parents are proud to have him. What a guy!

- Sampson
Meet Sampson, a really sweet boy estimated to be
around 9-10 years of age. Sampson was found wandering the highways in Ohio
and he was scheduled to be euthanized the day AABR pulled him into rescue.
Sampson is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He will be going into a
foster home soon with an older female boxer. Please offer to adopt this
wonderful senior boy - he deserves a great home where he will feel secure
and loved. |

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 |
