As many
of you have already heard, my beloved Max passed away unexpectedly last
night after a seizure. I only had him for 2 short months, but I can tell you
they were two of the best months of my life and I wouldn't trade them for
anything.
He was a sweet, old gentleman who I loved to pieces. I couldn't wait to get
home from work everyday, just so I could see him. He was over 12 years old
and while I knew I wouldn't have him for long, I was so hopeful he would be
with me a while longer.
My dear sweet Max, I miss you so. Safe travels to the Rainbow Bridge and
Heaven, my angel. Chelsea, Haley, Jake, Primo, Rocky, Macho, and all of the
other angels will surely be there to greet you.
All my love,
Karen (and Mandy) Ericson

Meet Maximus, AABR's newest senior sweetheart. At almost 12.5 years old,
he was surrendered to a NYC shelter for reportedly having seizures by the
only owners he ever knew. The shelter urgently called us and AABR sprung
into action getting him out that very same day. The only information his
family left was that he lived with 3 little kids and 2 cats. It quickly
became apparent he is good with dogs too once we had him out on the NYC
streets. This boy could not be any sweeter. He draws a crowd on the street
and is great with everyone he meets. The little kids love to pet him and
feed him treats, which he takes ever so gently. Although he reportedly has
seizures, we are not sure how frequent they are given he has not had one
since coming into rescue. Our vet checked him out and said he looked great
for his age and we agree, he is quite spry. All Maximus needs is a soft bed
for his old bones, some food (he loves food!) and a nice person to hold the
end of his leash while he walks calmly beside them. If you have ever
considered adopting a senior to spoil, apply for Maximus- he is the
quintessential senior sweetheart!! |

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure,
by clicking on the link at the top of this page,
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.
