JoJo is doing GREAT!!! She is just about completely recovered.  She has about 10 days to go on her antibiotic, but has not had any problems for almost 2 weeks. She is still eating a prescription diet, and may need to continue on that indefinitely, but has been enjoying the occasional dog biscuit, and peanut butter stuffed kong with no ill effects.

She has also been getting out and about to different AABR events. She was quite the star at last weeks Halloween Parade & Costume contest in Ridley Park. She charmed everyone she met young and old alike.

She has been working very hard on come, sit , and stay, and making some good progress. JoJo is a VERY high energy girl, but is also learning to relax a little as well. She was very stressed when she first came to stay with us, but is finally adjusting to life in a home.

I would recommend that JoJo's forever home have another Boxer in the family, as she really, really enjoys her wrestling time, and needs a pal that will keep up with her like Eve her best friend who is also in search of a home. They both seem to have a never ending supply of energy, but enjoy cuddling up with me when it's time to take a break. JoJo will need a strong leader to help her continue to learn her manners in the home, and keep her on the straight and narrow until she understands the routine, and matures a little bit. She is almost exploding with love that she desperately needs to share with a family of her own.

Patience and love are all this little girl needs. Won't you please make a place in your home for JoJo?

JoJo was very good at the Vet's office last week. We are continuing her on the prescription diet, and she is steadily gaining weight. She has had blood work done, and she has been dewormed.  We have decided to try a rather expensive antibiotic treatment for JoJo. We are relatively sure that she has ulcerative colitis, and this antibiotic has recently been found to cure this illness in many dogs.

The future is definitely looking brighter for JoJo, and we expect her to be feeling much better very soon.

JoJo was quite a hit as well at the Adoption Event at Braxton's last weekend. She charmed everyone she met with her toothie smile, and cute pink tongue poking out. She shared many kisses with young & old alike, and made many new canine acquaintances as well. I believe she really enjoyed her day out. Her spunky little personality will brighten even the gloomiest day.

Thanks to all of you who have offered donations for JoJo's care. AABR would be lost without it, as would JoJo. The cost of antibiotics, and her special food continue the need for donations, so please keep your support going.

Hopefully in a short time JoJo will finally be a happy, healthy girl on the way to finding her forever home. We'll keep you up to date on her progress, and thank you once again for your continued care and support of JoJo.

This is JoJo, cute as button with a ton of personality. She recently was given up by her family because she has been suffering from colitis. Her family gave her away because of this problem. We will be taking JoJo to The University of Penn this week for a complete work up, blood work, x-rays, and a colonoscopy if needed. We are looking at another big veterinarians bill for this little dog. We have started her on a special food, and she is already showing signs of improvement. Unfortunately for JoJo her family could not afford or chose not to bother getting her the care she needed. Their way of dealing with her illness was to leave her out in the yard , alone for hours on end. As a result she was initially very reluctant to go out in the yard for fear she would left alone again. With some patience and lots of company outside she is getting much more relaxed!

We will update this when we get back from the specialty hospital. If this is truly Boxer Colitis there is now a treatment that CURES 95% of Boxers!!

We have 3 Boxers in our rescue now with this same problem. Owners get frustrated when these dogs have chronic problems. Most Vets don't know about the new treatment that was developed at Cornell. If these dogs don't go to a specialist they do not get the proper treatment. Word will spread to vets through journal articles. I can't wait!!!!

Please click on the Paypal button on the top of this page and help with JoJo's medical bills.

Taking an easy dog from someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, Eve, Hershal and JoJo . The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs in need of medical care.

Thatıs where YOU come in. We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your donations to cover our expenses.

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
