12/5/12 Kessy is doing very well in
her foster home. She is super sweet and is learning about all of life's
simple pleasures now that she is in a home environment. She has gained some
much needed weight and enjoys mealtime and treats - so much so that we have
to hide the food so that she doesn’t get into it during the night!
Kessy lives with two boxers and would really love to have another dog in
her forever home. She has learned so much from her foster brother and
sister. She now understands the concept of playing with toys and absolutely
loves playing with them. When she is done playing, she enjoys snuggling with
her foster sister.
Kessy loves to be near people and likes all the attention she is getting
from her foster family. Her foster family commonly refers to her as
“Kissy-Kessy” because she will smother you in kisses given half a chance.
Kessy is very energetic for a 4 year old and would benefit from a yard to
play in to burn off energy. She would also benefit from some obedience
training. She gets so excited to see people that she cannot contain her
wiggles and jumping.
Kessy is crated when we are not at home. She doesn’t mind going in the
crate, but will bark when you leave. The barking doesn’t last long and she
settles down quickly. She shouldn’t be left in a crate when people are home
though. She will bark as if to say “hey did you forget about me?"
Kessy has attended 4 outreach events. Although she has done well at them,
she is overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of people, dogs and cars coming
and going. She tends to be shy at first, but quickly warms up to people and
other dogs once she is comfortable. Kessy walks well on a leash and only
pulls when she sees something of interest. She has a high prey instinct and
is very interested in rabbits, squirrels, etc. She managed to catch a bird
in flight. In the nick of time, its life was spared and it flew away! For
those reasons, she should not be placed in a home with cats or small dogs.
Kessy is nearly housebroken and only has an occasional accident here and
there. She is an early riser and needs to be taken out first thing in the
morning. This girl deserves nothing less than a family that absolutely
adores her.

We are surprised that
somebody hasn't snatched up this adorable girl yet! Kessy is still
available for adoption and has attended the last few adoption events.
Included are some new pictures from today's event. Kessy always has
lots of kisses for everyone she meets. Apply today for Kessy and give
her a chance at a forever home!

Kessy continues to settle in
well at her foster home. Her favorite time of day is mealtime. She has
gained a little weight since coming into rescue, but is still thin. She is
crated during the day and has learned that the leash means it is time to go
out and potty. She strives for affection. Kessy will smother you in kisses
if you let her. Each day she seems to learn something new from her foster
brother and sister. She is starting to get the concept of playing with toys,
although she loses interest in them quickly. Kessy is going to be a
wonderful girl for a lucky family - apply today!

working on housetraining and obedience. New pictures will be

AABR received a call for help when six boxers were removed from a
property due to neglect. All of the dogs were being kept in the yard without
proper food, water, or shelter. Most of them are very thin and need some
TLC. They have not been taught much and need a home that can provide
training and guidance for them. The six boxers were removed to the care of a
veterinarian, where they have been given a flea bath, dewormed, and
vaccinated. AABR will be transporting them this weekend.
Kessy is a petite brindle female who needs to gain some weight. She is
energetic and loves to jump. Kessy is wonderful with other dogs. She
does well with the group from her property and also met two dogs from the
vet's office that she wanted to play with. Apply today if you can
provide a foster or forever home for Kessy!
