Memorial to Cinnamon

Those  mournful brown eyes, peering at me out of the that amazingly sweet face with the wrinkled brow.

She did not want to get into the crate in my car, she was watching Charlotte from Eagle kennel.

On the ride home, I talked to her non-stop while she peered at my son and myself out of the crate with that still worried expression on her face.

Cinnamon made herself at home immediately in our house. She found the doggie sofa soon after entering our front door. My three dogs (2 younger boxers and an old gentlemen English Bulldog) adjusted to her almost immediately except for a brief scuffle with my female. Cinn-Cinn was definitely part of the pack after 3 days.

Cinnamon seemed glad to be with us! She became my constant companion, my  sidekick. Fortunately for me, I am currently unemployed so I was home with her most all the time. When I left the room, she followed, no matter what I was working on, she laid close by and watched over me.  She even went as far as pushing the bathroom door open when I closed it, "What do you mean by closing me out????" She was a character.

The only time I saw her get excited was when it was chow time.  She developed a little habit like my male boxer. She would put her nose in the air and tell me "UUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". Let's hurry it up there, we are all hungry! 

She loved car rides. From the first (without the crate though!) she would get in and settle right down on the back seat like she had been riding in one her whole life.

Seems everyone that met Cinnamon loved her. She was gentle, loving and outgoing. Everyone she met just happened to need a good cuddle and of course a quick swipe of the tongue. Quite a few older people swore if they were younger, they would adopt her, including my mother. This dog just loved people.

She carried herself with dignity and grace. She was not in any hurry to get where she was going, she just enjoyed her surroundings while she was getting there.

Cinnamon met her soon to be adoptive parents last Wednesday evening.  They were from NJ and fell in love with Cinnamon immediately.  They were all set to get her last week. Unfortunately Cinnamon developed some health problems that led from 2 vet visits at a clinic last week to her final vet visit on July 7th with my personal vet who operated on her. She never got to go home to her loving new" forever home".

Cinnamon was suffering from cancer in her lymph nodes plus internal bleeding.
She was a very sick little girl so Karen did what was best for Cinn and allowed the vet to not bring her out of the anesthesia. She went peacefully.

After a rough life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill, I was fortunate enough to share the last 5-6 weeks of her life, and in that time grow to love her as one of my own.

She brought lots of joy for the short while she was with us. My dogs and I will sorely miss her.

Rest in peace sweet angel. Your hard life is over, you can go home to your maker. 

Your foster mom

Update -Cinnamon is recovering nicely from her surgery.  As you can see from her new picture, she looks like a new dog!

She has a sweet loving nature. She loves people. She walks on leash very nicely. No tugging, nice "heel" without being told. She sits when you stop walking. Seems to love people of all ages. Is housebroken. Gets along well with other dogs. Wants to be close to you! She is very calm and laid back. She is a joy to have in our home. Made herself at home almost immediately.

We gave her some time to settle in and then started taking Cinnamon along in the car...  she rides like she has been doing it all her life.  She lays quietly in the back with no fuss. Sits in the car till you come back out from doing your errands etc.

I then took her to my Mom's house again to my daughter's house. She was exposed to the dogs in both homes and did great. No aggression in this girl. I do not think she would harm a fly.

She loves my 18 month old grandbaby.  She is great with kids(toddlers,5 yrs olds, 8 and 10 yrs old.)

She also met my nieces daughter(13) and son (7) and their rescue dog. She aced out again.

I cannot find anything wrong with this dog. She is so great. She is just one little love bug!

05/26/08 -

This is Cinnamon who had to have the chain cut from her neck since the growth was so huge.  She made it through surgery this morning and is resting.  She really needs to rehab in a quiet home. 

5/24/08 - Cinnamon

We were called by a PA breeder to come get Cinnamon and Shirley. He no longer needed them and Cinnamon was "SICK IN THE NECK"

Those of you who watched Oprah's show on the puppy mills of PA have an idea what these 2 poor girls have gone through in their lives.

These 2 dogs lived together in the same small kennel and were breed over and over again.

Cinnamon saw one of our vets and she had an abscess in her neck. Surgery was done and she is recovering nicely. She will have no lasting problems.

Cinnamon is a calm girl and Shirley is more energetic, both are VERY, VERY sweet.

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
