It is with great sadness that I share the news that Sweetums is gone.  She had cancer that could not be cured. The treatment is harsh for this type of cancer and the oncologist and vet felt the most humane thing to do was to end her suffering.  After a good special meal and some one on one time with all the people that have cared, loved, and comforted her around the clock, she went to meet all of our other friends at the rainbow bridge.

We don't know Sweetums past but we know that for the last 2 weeks she has gotten the best care any dog could have ever gotten. Nothing has been spared for Sweetums and I can tell you from the first time she wiggled her little nub she knew the kind side of humans.

To all those who have helped Sweetums - we thank you for giving her the best fighting chance.  We did our best, but it was too late.

Adopt A Boxer Rescue will continue to rescue her friends!

Thank you for all your emails with well wishes and prayers for Sweetums.  Here is a update ...

Sweetums is still very anemic and although eating, not gaining the weight that we would anticipate.  We have found through ultrasound that her stomach and intestinal walls have thickened.  She has come through a short sedation to retrieve multiple biopsies from her intestinal track, and is being fed gently through a tube so that we can supply her with the nutrition she needs.  We will update you when we get the results of the biopsies back and we will then be able to tell better if we can help her.

Keep her in your thoughts...

Sweetums was not eating as well as she should so we brought her to our favorite veterinarian in New York. The first thing we noticed is how pale she was. After tests it was necessary to give Sweetums a blood transfusion. This poor dog. I can't even explain to you what this dog looks like.

Keep Sweetums in your prayers!!!

OMG - This is unbelievable...

Sweetums is a love of a boxer who is so emaciated.  She is eating every 2 hours in hope that she will live.  She arrived in rescue after a week in a vet hospital on IV nutrition.

Sweetums needs a foster home where someone can feed her often.

We will update you as we learn more.

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
