Daisy had her staples removed today and the incision looks great!  She has one more week of restricted activity and then will begin passive range of motion exercises.  Daisy will have a new X-ray taken on May 7th.  Her foster family reports that Daisy is a very sweet girl and she is getting along great with her foster brother.

Daisy is doing well at her new foster home.  The biggest challenge is keeping this young girl quiet while she heals from surgery.  She is getting ice placed on her leg several times a day to help reduce the swelling.  She will be getting a lot of crate rest and on complete exercise restriction as she recovers.  Daisy is fitting in well at her foster home and has been introduced to her new foster brother, an older male boxer. 

The orthopedic surgeon indicated that everything went well with Daisy's surgery.  It was a really bad break with part of the bone chipped out and shattered.  The break was just an inch above her knee joint.  The surgeon had to place two large pins in Daisy's leg.  The trauma from the injury was very extensive and it will take some time for the swelling to go down.  In six weeks, Daisy will receive a new X-ray to monitor the healing.  The surgeon feels that if Daisy is kept very restricted, she should heal nicely and have a completely normal gait in two months.

Daisy needs your help!  Please consider donating to help us help this sweet boxer girl with a very badly broken leg.  AABR was asked to help Daisy after an accident that occurred while playing in the backyard with the male boxer in her home.  One of AABR's volunteers dropped everything to get Daisy to the vet  when we found a hospital that could take her in.  Daisy's hind leg is very swollen and a picture of the break is included.  Despite the fact that Daisy was in agony and could not get comfortable, our volunteer reported that she was nothing but kisses and wiggles.  All the staff at the hospital have also indicated that she is just the sweetest girl!

Daisy previously lived with a male boxer and three children.  She absolutely loves people and gets along great with male dogs. 

As you can see from the X-ray, Daisy has a serious break that will need involved surgery from an orthopedic specialist.  Please consider making a tax deductible donation towards Daisy's care so we can get her on the road to recovery.  Just click on the link below or go to any of the Pay Pal links on our website.

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.
