5/12/10 - MEMORIAL Beckett, known as
Benny to his foster mom, was a
true sweetheart who despite the terrible suffering he'd been put through
wanted nothing more than to be with people, to be loved by them, and to give
his love in return. His will to live was strong, but in the end what was
done to him was something his poor body could not overcome, even with all
the help and caring we could offer. Benny deserved so much more than what
his short life entailed, but we will never forget his wonderful spirit and
sweet, soulful eyes that seemed to say "I'm here - can we snuggle and will
you stay with me?". We are grateful that Benny did not die alone, but passed
very quickly in the company of new friends he'd loved, even if for a only
few weeks. Godspeed, sweet Benny.

Beckett is the most emaciated poor thing that I have ever pulled from a
shelter. Beckett had an owner who went to jail, and never told anyone that
he had a dog in his yard. Beckett slowly starved until someone finally
notified
animal control. An officer went to the property and found Beckett, so
starved and dehydrated he could not even get up on his own. This boy was
very close to death. They had to carry him out, thankfully rescuing him just
in time.
Beckett is now with AABR and he can get up and walk around, although he
is still very weak. He has a healthy appetite and in no time we will see
some weight on this sweet boy! Beckett is very loving. Despite all he has
been through, he wags his tail when you even look in his direction. What a
sweet, loving dog! He LOVES human touch and attention. This sweet soul will
truly melt your heart with his big brown eyes. You can just see how grateful
he is that he is still alive and in good hands.
Beckett did great with all his handling at the shelter and also
with his
dog and cat tests. Once he gets some weight on him, this boy will be
stunning. If you cannot adopt this awesome boy, perhaps you will be able to
make a donation on his behalf to help out with the cost of care he will need
until he is back on his feet and running around like a normal young dog!
Thanks for your support!

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.
