Dear Santa-

If you check your list of Nice girls and boys, you’ll find me, Jessie, listed right at the top. You see Santa, I’ve been such a good girl this year because I have a very special Holiday request to make. In August I lost my family. I don’t know where they went, but some nice people found me wondering down a highway all alone. Thankfully, I ended up with AABR and am now living with a foster family. While my foster parents tell me that I’m welcome to stay as long as I like, I know that the longer it takes for me to find a new home, the fewer dogs AABR can help.

Santa, this year I’m only asking for one thing; a forever family. If you could grant this one wish, I’d be the happiest little girl around! I promise that I would make my forever family so very happy. I’m such a good girl and I have so much love to share. I would do anything to please my forever family and I would promise to love them unconditionally. Some people might be tentative about my “handicap” but let me assure you that they won’t even notice more than a hitch in my step. I’ve gotten so strong from walking with my foster parents, that I can do almost anything. I can even jump up on the bed and can climb stairs with a little support. Santa, if you know anyone who might be able to make my Holiday wish come true, please send them to the AABR website to fill out an application today! Once their application is approved, if they have any questions about me, my foster parents will be more than happy to share videos of me, my neurology reports, and any other information a potential forever home may want to know.

Please Santa, if you can make this Holiday wish come true, you’ll be not only fulfilling my Holiday wish but the Holiday wish of another homeless boxer. By finding me my forever home, AABR will be able to save another homeless boxer. Please make my Holiday wish come true! Happy Holidays to All!

Love, Jessie

Hi Everyone! For those of you that don't know me, my name is Jessie. I’m a sweet girl and love everyone I meet. I like cats, kids, and every person I see. I’m also very good with food and toys. They tell me I walk a little funny, but it certainly doesn’t bother me one bit. I get along just fine and love to run, romp, and play just like any other boxer. I love squeaky toys (as you can tell by my pictures) and also enjoy quality snuggle time. I am a very gentle girl and a model citizen in the home. I can be left loose during the workday and am of course 100% house trained.

In my two months in foster care I’ve never damaged a thing in the house. Everyone who comes to visit our home gets greeted by my boxer wiggles and maybe a kiss or two. Of course they all think I’m a sweetie too! When my foster parents come home from work I want nothing more than to be with them. I’ll share my soft kisses with them and soak up every second of quality snuggle time I can get.

My foster parents say I am a Champion Snuggler and a very good girl.

Update - Jessie had her evaluation with the veterinary neurologist today. She greeted the doctor with typical boxer wiggles and a soft kiss. Throughout the visit, Jessie was an exemplary patient and showed just what a wonderful girl she is. She didn’t fuss once as he worked her legs through a full range of motion test. In fact, the doctor was so taken with Jessie, her sad story, and AABR’s willingness to help, that he donated the entire examination to rescue! Thank you, Doctor!

The examination provided good news: Jessie is in no pain. There is every indication that her condition will remain stable going forward. While she will most likely be somewhat handicapped for the rest of her life, she certainly doesn’t seem to mind. She does everything just like any other dog. She enjoys walks and the doctor recommends that she continue to receive daily walks to maintain muscle strength. She loves to play and can run rather well. She also enjoys squeaky toys and of course some quality snuggle time.

Jessie is the perfect example of how anyone can overcome a handicap. We’ve made a few adjustments in our home to make like easier for her, but for the most part she does fine with things just the way they are. Slippery floors can be difficult for her, so we’ve laid the rugs in our kitchen in such a way that she can navigate just fine. She struggles to do steps independently, but with just the slightest support and stabilization, she climbs them just as well as any dog.

Jessie’s life in the last few weeks has been tumultuous to say the least. She went from wandering, lost and alone on the side of a busy highway, to a local animal shelter, to an AABR kennel, to our home. However, she didn’t complain a bit about the hand she’d been dealt. Jessie should be a role model to us all. She’s just your typical, happy boxer. We will be keeping an I on her to ensure that there are no changes in her condition. However, if you have room in your heart for this sweet girl and the life lessons she can teach us all, please consider submitting an application today.

Any donations made to help with Jessie’s medical bills will be contributed to another AABR dog in need. Thank you.

8/31/07 - Meet Jessie!

Jessie comes to AABR after being found wandering down a heavily trafficked highway near Philadelphia.

How did this wonderful girl end up in such a dangerous place? Jessie’s life up until this point is a mystery. It appears that she had a few litters and lived comfortably in someone’s home. She’s housebroke, crate trained, good with dogs, good with cats, and an absolute doll! She’s been with us a few days now and has settled in wonderfully with our family. We just can’t say enough good things about her!

Unfortunately, Jessie has suffered some trauma to her left rear leg. She gets around okay and doesn’t complain a bit, however she is unable to climb stairs and sometimes struggles with balance.

AABR is dedicated to finding out what can be done to help poor Jessie. As always, this type of veterinary evaluation and care is costly. It will likely include multiple visits with orthopedic and/or neurological specialists as we seek to determine what has caused the issue and what might be done to help her.

Please consider donating to AABR to help with Jessie’s medical expenses. This wonderful girl deserves a chance to live a healthy and normal life!

We know that she would be forever grateful!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, 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 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

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 as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  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. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
