Abe is now around a year of age. He gets along really well on three
legs. If you are interested in helping Abe find a forever home, apply

Abe is
heading back to rescue. Last fall, he came into the shelter very sick
with Parvo and AABR stepped up to help, even though he was a mix. Once
he began to recover, we realized he also had a problem with his rear leg - a
serious break that healed poorly. At the age of just 4 months, little
Abe had to have his leg amputated. In the intervening months, his
adopter has worked with a trainer to try to get Abe comfortable with the
other dog in the home, but now believes Abe would do best as an only dog.
His adopter has made the very difficult decision to return him to rescue, in
the hope he will find a home that he does not have to share with another
dog.
Abe is now about 9 months old. He is in need of a foster or forever
home. Abe would do best in a home without cats. Abe is
housetrained and crate trained. He is super affectionate and very
loving with humans. Abe loves to snuggle. Even though he is a
tripod, he does everything a four legged dog can do. If you are
interested in Abe, apply today for this special boy!

Abe
visited the orthopedic surgeon. Two doctors worked together, hoping to
be able to save his leg. Unfortunately, it was an old break and the
bones healed into something that could not be repaired. Abe's leg had
to be amputated and he is now back at his foster home to recover.
Please consider donating towards Abe's care. This sweet boy has had a
really rough start, but is now on the road to recovery.

Now that
Abe is up and moving, we discovered that he is limping on his back leg.
The vet X-rayed him and found a previous fracture. This poor boy must
have been in a lot of pain.
Abe has just arrived at his new foster home and will be seeing the
orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible. Please consider making a
donation towards Abe's medical care! We will update his page as soon
as we have more information.

Abe is
slowly improving. On Saturday evening, he did not have any vomiting or
diarrhea overnight and he was finally producing urine. Abe is being
switched to oral medication and hopefully will have interest in eating soon!

Abe is a 4 month old boxer mix who was diagnosed with Parvovirus and is
currently at one of our vet hospitals for treatment. If you are not
familiar with Parvo, puppies should receive vaccines that will prevent this,
starting at 6-8 weeks of age. Parvo is highly contagious and can be
deadly if left untreated. Abe will need extended medical care in an
isolation unit until he is past the danger point.
AABR was not the first rescue contacted to take Abe, but we were the last
that needed to be asked. We are once again requesting your support in
making sure Abe gets the medical care he needs. Please consider making
a donation in his name. And please send good thoughts and prayers his
way also! We will continue to post updates about his progress. |
