8/29/09 - MEMORIAL
It saddens us to say our sweet Marcus passed peacefully away on Tuesday
afternoon. His suffering ended as he was surrounded by the love of AABR.
Marcus was a stray found in the streets in
New York and we knew he was in ill health. We would not turn
our backs on this sweet, gentle dog. We did all we could for our boy, but
in the end we knew it was time for his passing. All dogs go to heaven and
that is where sweet, sweet Marcus will be waiting for AABR when it is our
time.
Rest in peace sweet boy.
Thank you to all who cared and helped Marcus.
The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak and pain should keep me from my
sleep,
Then will you do what must be done, for this -- the last battle -- can't
be won.
You will be sad I understand, but don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest, your love and friendship must stand
the test.
We have had so many happy days, you wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs
they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end. And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved,
From
pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be
you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these days,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
In Loving Memory of Marcus
RIP 8/25/09
Forever in our heart

Marcus is in real need of a
hero!
Summer is the absolute worse time for needing foster homes... Everyone is
on vacation except for the poor dogs that need rescue. Marcus is
sitting in an animal hospital after going there for some tests. He is
probably closer to 12 yrs old than the original estimate from the shelter,
and he should be resting comfortably in a foster home, not alone in a
hospital kennel. We are determined to give this guy the best life
possible for what ever time he has. BUT we need your help.
PLEASE! If you've already had your vacation, Marcus needs a break.
Please be Marcus's hero!
8/4/09 - In foster
Poor Marcus was so sick with the cold he had. He was hospitalized for
not eating and running a high fever. The vets did not think he would make
it. They even suggested it would not be the wrong thing if we did not go on
with treatment. We decided to give Marcus the shot at life he deserves.
Marcus is now out of the hospital and in a foster
home. He is eating and
feeling much better.
Please help with his medical expenses by clicking
on the paypal button or sending a check.

I picked up Marcus Friday afternoon, pouring down rain and bumper to
bumper traffic, but I was determined I was getting him. I got him snacks,
blankie, toys, and was ready. Marcus was amazing, he was so thin, had a sad
look in his eyes, but he got right in my car, laid down on the seat and was
quiet and good the entire 1 1/2 hours back to my house. He immediately went
into the yard and did his business, (good boy). I set up a crate, but after
a day, realized, I don't need a crate for him. He is quiet and sweet, and
loving and all I want to do is put some meat on his bones and get him to his
forever home. He loves the dog food I bought him, and he licks the bowl when
he is done. He loves my mom's home made cookies too. He doesn't like pills,
so I went out and bought a pill crusher, a little plunger, mix them with
water, put in the plunger and he takes his pills. Anything I can do to spoil
him and make him happy, I will do it. Marcus is a great dog, and I am going
to give him all the love and happiness he can have until he is ready to go
to his forever home.

Marcus is an adorable male boxer found as a stray in the city and
estimated to be around 9 years old. He came from the city shelter
system with kennel cough and has spent a week at our vets office. He
needs a short term foster home without any other dogs so he can get over his
cough without giving it to others. Then we have a foster home who said
they will take him.
He showed no reaction to the other dogs at the shelter and was great with
all of the people he met.
We will update his page once we know more about him.
Thank you for your interest in this sweet senior boy!
