3/23/11 Sami is
such a sweet girl!!! She is very calm for a boxer and as petite as a little
boxer girl can be! She has been great around other dogs and although she is
a tad shy around people when she first meets them, she warms up to them very
fast. Sami has the most expressive eyes and ears and her personality would
fit into almost any family.
Sami has not been exposed to small kids other than the neighbor’s 4 year
old twins, but she was a little afraid of them so older kids might be better
for her. She listens very well and doesn’t jump on people. Sami has very
good manners! She also does very well in a crate and when out of the
crate, will follow her foster mom from room to room. Her favorite place is
on the dog bed at her foster mom’s feet while her foster mom is on the
computer. She is a great snuggler on the sofa too! Her broken leg is healing
very nicely and she walks on it with no problems. She is current on her
vaccines and is HW negative!! Today, Sami was spayed and she will come back
to her foster home tomorrow. She has been a real trooper through her leg
surgery and now her spay. Sami deserves that wonderful forever home that
will love and adore this very special little girl!

Sami's surgery
went well and her prognosis if very positive. She is now recuperating
in a foster home and getting lots of attention. Sami is very
cooperative and tolerant, despite the amount of pain she has been in.
She is currently wearing a pain patch and she is also on oral pain
medication. Sami will need to be on crate rest for the next 6-8 weeks.
Donations are urgently needed to help with Sami and several other boxers in
rescue that have needed extensive medical care. Please help us to be
able to continue to save the boxers in need!
2/25/11 -
Sami was found on the side of the road after being hit by a car. A
good Samaritan took her to the emergency hospital, where she was immediately
put on an IV for the shock and extreme pain she was in. It was determined
that she had a fractured femur, which would require surgery by an orthopedic
specialist. Sami was a very popular girl at the hospital, as everybody
fell in love with her sweet personality.
Multiple attempts have been made to find her owner. She has spent
the week in the emergency hospital hoping her family would come for her.
Sami's surgery could not be delayed any longer, so she was signed over to
rescue today and is resting comfortably this evening after a successful
surgery.
Sami is very fortunate to have a foster home that will be picking her up
tomorrow. She will be going into foster with several other dogs.
Her foster mom visited her at the vet hospital prior to surgery. She
indicates that Sami is a very petite girl at only 43 lbs. She was
wiggling and giving lots of boxer kisses.
Donations to help cover Sami's high
medical bill are
desperately needed! If you can help with a
tax deductible donation, please submit this through
PayPal or by check to
help with Sami's care. Thank you for helping us save Sami - any amount will
help and is very appreciated. Sami will need several follow up appointments
as she recovers. We will update her page and post new pictures once
she has settled into her foster home.
