Charlie was adopted by a wonderful family in Pennsylvania.  They have a 9 year old male boxer, three children, and a fenced in yard for Charlie to play in.  Charlie is getting along really well with his new brother and he has also made friends with one of the neighbor's dogs.  They love to play in the backyard.  Charlie is eating well and he loves to sleep on his dog bed.  He is discovering toys and really enjoys the stuffed animals.  Charlie gets to walk to the bus stop in the morning and afternoon - he is getting to know all of the kids in the neighborhood. 

Since his rescue, Charlie has adjusted really well.  He is finally able to enjoy life in a caring home environment.

News Clip on Charlie

He doing fine now!  He kept going in and out of the crate ad lib last evening.  We've been going out about every hour, but I think he can go longer.   He has not had even one accident in the house.  He walks around the house a lot. 

He likes to be near me but won't lie down when I am working on my computer.  He slept quietly all night.  When he came back in we did the "give a pill routine".  He's not liking that, but is good about it.  I put it in some cheese and popped it in his mouth and he took it.  He ate some last night but not a lot.  This morning he ignored the food.  After realizing he took the pill in cheese I sprinkled a tiny bit of grated parmesan cheese on top and he ate it all up.  He lets me clean his ears and put the otic solution in and the eye ointment, too.  He didn't swallow the pain pill but I thought he did.  Just found it on the floor.  Will get out the cheese and try again.

He went into the crate while I went to church and was good as gold.  We went out then and he did what needed to be done.  He is fine when my next door neighbor came in.  She is in from Calif. clearing out her mother's home.  She says she is now starting to think about adopting a boxer when she gets back to California.  She was impressed with Charlie and what you do here.

I just luv this guy.  He is a sweetie.  I'm hoping he'll be OK and not have any malignancy when the tumors are analyzed.  He slides a tiny bit on my kitchen floor, but has not had any real issues.

Charlie is the perfect example why NO ONE on the face of the planet should buy a dog from a puppy mill or a "farm raised" dog.  Charlie has lived in a rabbit hutch for his entire life ONLY being pulled out to breed the females in heat to produce puppies.  Puppies that will be sold to brokers, pet stores and to families that know nothing about the pain and suffering the breeder inflicts on their dogs. 

To some people, they are nothing but a "cash crop."   Well in this case, unlike corn on the cob, animals have feelings and needs.  They need to eat, drink, exercise and require vet care. 

Charlie was rescued this morning from a Lancaster county Amish farmer who said he is too old to breed anymore.  Charlie's fate was sealed so we rushed to get him out of what proved to be a horrific life. 

Charlie was transported to our vet to get much needed care.  While there, we were aghast at his poor condition.  Charlie can't stand up straight from living in a small cage.  He has eye and ear infections, has multiple cysts that need to be removed, and may loose several toes.  He has lived on wire his whole life which has been painful and caused cysts between his toes.  Charlie has so many pressure wounds caused by sleeping and laying on wire.  His ears are infected and his skin is a disaster.  He needs 6 teeth pull as they are infected.  He was totally dehydrated. 

I have to tell you I met a volunteer at the kennel who takes pictures for AABR and I could not take the pain.  He loved me and begged me to comfort him.  I did the best I could but I could not stay.  I knew I had to get Charlie's story to the news stations.  I can only remember the transporter saying the farmer said he's a good dog - "he gave me lots of puppies:"  So I have to ask,  "THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT HIM?"   Not even the very basic vet care, no love, little water....

I cried knowing our time is short to find Charlie a foster or forever home that will allow him to live in comfort, peace and LOVE.  Charlie will have surgery to remove the painful cysts and lumps on his precious body.  We want him to enjoy and be comfortable the rest of his life. 

I can not stress enough how much we need a foster home for Charlie.  PLEASE PLEASE give Charlie a chance at life.

I know we have some very sad stories on our web site but PLEASE know these stories are what we experience day to day.  It is so painful to deal with, see, pet and love these dogs - we can't do it alone we NEED HELP. 

 Please help us help Charlie.

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
