2/12/12 Max had
his surgery on January 17th and after only a day, he was back home and
horsing around! Max had his jaw removed back to his first molar. The margins
on the tumor were clear, so Max is CURED! You might ask yourself - how he
can eat, play or even drink...well, I assure you, he can do all of those
things just fine! He does best with larger kibble and does make a little bit
of a mess with water, but that is what paper towels are for!! Max loves his
stuffy toys, he throws them up in the air and tries to catch them!
As far as Max's personality...well, there really aren't words to describe
how AWESOME this dog is. He has lots of energy, is extremely playful, but
also loves to snuggle in bed with you. He is good with big dogs and small
and would be fine with cats. If you are looking for the best dog around, Max
is your man! Apply today!!

Max was
evaluated by the oncologist yesterday at the University of Pennsylvania. The
surgeon believes that he can perform Max's surgery and have it be curative.
He will go back next Monday for a consult with a whole team of dental
surgeons and we will get all the particulars on the actual surgery and
aftercare, which will involve losing a good portion of his mandible.
His surgery is scheduled for 1/17 and the estimated cost is $2500-$4000. You
can help Max by donating to his care.
Thank you for helping Max!
12/16/11 -
World, meet Max! This strapping young fellow is a lovebug. Max was
surrendered to the shelter when his family realized they couldn't afford his
care. You see, this poor boy has a large mass growing in his mouth that is
disfiguring his lower jaw and teeth. He has been to the vet and a biopsy was
done, but we are still waiting for the report. Max will be going to the
University of Penn to see specialists so that a determination can be made as
to how best care for his problem. AABR is committed to doing whatever is
necessary for this beautiful boy.
Max is currently in foster care with 5 other dogs and has made best
friends with the resident deaf Great Dane. They love to run and play
together in the yard. Max is currently eating a soft food diet, which he
manages nicely. He can also drink without a problem and he gives lots of
sloppy Boxer kisses too. Max knows all his basic commands and is very eager
to please. This is one very well behaved boy.
We can estimate that Max's medical bills will be in the thousands and any
help towards his care would be greatly appreciated. Won't you please help
sponsor Max by making a donation in his name. Max sure would appreciate it!!

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.
