Some days in rescue are harder than others.  I remember seeing Angelina's picture and thinking I had to save her.  I had to let her enjoy the good life and to know what it felt like to be loved and to be safe, no matter what our length of time was going to be together.  Angie came to me broken.  She had such sad, soulful eyes with scars all over her body.  She was defeated.  Angie deserved so much more. 

Angie learned very quickly that she was loved, adored, and could trust me.  She learned what the life of a spoiled dog was like.  Angie learned dogs were her friends and she enjoyed their company.  She loved her food and always had a great appetite.  Angie always ensured people noticed her, no matter where we went together.  She could always bring a smile to people's faces.  Angie enjoyed her life here and she knew love.  She touched so many hearts. 

I am lucky to foster for Adopt a Boxer Rescue, who is always supportive of me, no matter what dog I take into foster - regardless of any health conditions.  Angie was so lucky to have AABR behind her and all of her wonderful supporters who cheered her on and donated to her care.  Whenever she needed prescription food for her kidney failure, her fans were right there to provide for her.  I thank her fans and AABR from the bottom of my heart.  Angie had a chance and she loved making memories.  Angie really enjoyed her last months of life. 

I will forever be grateful for the time we spent together and the love & happiness this girl gave me.  Rest in peace sweet girl, you will forever hold a piece of my heart.  You were loved, cherished, and adored. 

Forever remembered, forever missed.

Angelina had her check up at the vet and she received good news.  Her bloodwork shows that her kidney values are stable and her blood protein levels have improved.  She has been doing well in her foster home on her special diet, medications, and fluids.  Thank you for continuing to support Angelina!

Angelina is doing well in her foster home.  She has been on her kidney food, medications, and fluids - and seems to be happy.  Her favorite things are her food, naps, and the couch.  Angelina is lucky to have wonderful supporters with AABR.  She is such a sweet, gentle girl with soulful eyes that make your heart melt.

Angelina has been released from the vet and just arrived at her new foster home.  She has a very sweet disposition and deserves so much more than what she went through.  Angelina has already made herself at home!

11/08/14 -

A few days ago, we received information about a senior boxer who had been found in Delaware.  She had been spotted falling into a ditch on the side of the road by a Good Samaritan, who then called the police for help.  The photo of the officer leading her to the car was sent to our volunteers, and our hearts melted.  We contacted the shelter and were able to rescue her as soon as her stray hold was up. 

Here is what we know so far - she is microchipped and her original owners were contacted.  They gave her away 4-5 years ago and did not want her back, but were able to provide her name - Angelina.

This sweet girl has multiple issues going on.  In addition to having scars all over her face, Angelina has no teeth, leading us to believe her life in the past few years has probably been rough and she may have been used as a bait dog.  Angelina is very thin and has a large growth that extends from her chest down through her armpit to just behind her front leg.  It is very infected and the doctor does not believe it can be surgically removed without costing her a leg.  She had bloody stool this afternoon and may have either a UTI or vaginal infection going on as well.  She is not able to fully expand her lungs, possibly due to the mass in her chest.  Angelina has some weakness in her hind end and has difficulty getting up or negotiating stairs. 

Angelina will be at the vet's office for the next few days and then will move to one of our local foster homes.  Please help support our efforts by making a donation towards Angelina's care.

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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Not every home is the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested...  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.
