One of our volunteers met Abe yesterday. He indicated that Abe is a
handsome and sweet boy. He did great with Madison, his submissive
female boxer. Abe gave her kisses, but was more interested in walking
around and eating grass. He was also wonderful with our volunteer and
just wanted attention. Abe is currently at a training facility in New
Jersey and is still looking for a foster or forever home.

Abe's new foster home's work schedule changed and he will be traveling too
much to help Abe continue his behavior modification. Once again, Abe
is in need of a foster home. At this time, he would do best in a home
where he is the only pet. If you are willing to work with Abe and our
trainer, please contact AABR and submit an application to help Abe!

Abe is doing wonderful with the trainer. His leg does not slow him
down and he has made wonderful progress. Abe will be arriving at his
new foster home this weekend. We will be posting a video soon, but
included are some new photos!

Abe has had a rough road since he was born. Found as a stray as a
puppy in a very poor area of Philadelphia, he was taken in by AABR within
minutes of euthanasia at the city's high kill shelter. We knew it wouldn't
be easy to adopt out a boxer mix but to save him we did it anyway. Out of
200 rescues the shelter works with we were the only one to step up.
Abe has overcome Parvo and a broken leg that was so bad it had to be
amputated. He then went to a young woman's home that didn't have the
experience needed to manage two dogs. Abe was taken back into rescue
yesterday.
He is now at our trainers home for an intensive two week course to
hone his obedience skills and to help him refresh his social skills with
other dogs
Upon meeting Abe our trainer instantly liked him. He's a small guy
at 34 lbs. and he was quickly and properly introduced to the trainers
mastiff and did great with him.
Abe can go to a home with a female dog just to play it safe as some
males don't like other males.
Abe is a sweet loving dog that loves to exercise and have fun. A
home with kids over 10 would be best . We wouldn't want the younger ones to
fall on his good leg. Having three legs is not a problem for him. There is
nothing he can't do.
Abe needs a break. We need to show Abe that people are good and
kind. Could you be his hero?

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. |
