- Bucky
Bucky
was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia yesterday. The shelter
contacted us immediately upon her arrival. They told us she was already on
the list to be euthanized unless we would come to her rescue. This poor
little girl was found with an old bandage wrapped so tightly around her
foot that it has literally torn completely through her skin to the muscle
& tendons. She also has 3 broken toes. The damage is so severe that she may need to have her leg
amputated. She is now in the care of the fine doctors at the University of
Penn Veterinary Hospital, where she is being carefully evaluated and
treated in the hopes that her leg can be saved. We are all praying for a
miracle for little Bucky who is showing so much courage, and yes,
sweetness even in the face of the hideous amount of pain she is suffering.
They are applying wet dressings to her wound in an
effort to preserve the tissue & fight infection, and will decide how to
proceed early next week. Bucky truly needs all of our help now. Just her
hospital board alone is $150 a day, which does not include any of her
antibiotics, bandages, daily blood work, x-rays, and pain meds. The low
end of the estimate of what it will cost to treat Bucky is at least $2000,
and could range as high as $8-10,000 depending on the amount of surgery
and after care she will need. Please help us help this loving little angel
that life has been so cruel to. Help us give her a much deserved second
chance at life so that she may know what it is like to be loved and cared
for.
Your generous donations will make all the difference.
You can help to save Bucky's life. Please, Please, Please make a donation
on her behalf today. We will keep you all informed as to her progress, and
thank you so much for your support of our little girl.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure,
by clicking on the link at the top of this page,
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: Please see our adoption info by clicking on the
