Princess had her cast removed and the surgeon was thrilled with how quickly she is healing.  Included are a few updated pictures of her progress.

Princess is doing great in her new foster home.  Her foster brother, a former AABR dog, is keeping her company.  They are so calm and happy go lucky together.  Princess is using her leg well and making great progress following surgery!

5/9/14 -

Princess is a wonderful, laid back and friendly girl.  She is a smaller fawn female that is as cute as a button.  Princess was dropped off at the shelter with a broken leg and needed immediate medical attention.  Her previous owners indicated that a stereo fell on her leg and they could not afford to care for her injury.  AABR quickly stepped in to help.  Our volunteers picked up and transported Princess to the emergency vet the same day.  She underwent surgery yesterday to repair her broken femur and the X-rays show just how bad the break was.  Her vet costs will run in the $4,000-$5,000 range, so donations are urgently needed for her care.

Princess is the first of our dogs to benefit from our Barney's Boxer Buddies Emergency Fund.  In honor of their late boxer, Barney, our generous beneficiary will match every dollar donated to the fund, up to $5,000.  To donate directly to her care or to replenish the ER fund, click AABR's PayPal link and be sure to note Barney's fund in the description.   

Princess is a five year old girl.  She knows her basic commands (possibly in Spanish and English) and is a breeze on leash.  Princess lived with a cat and children.  She is also good with other dogs.  Princess has a sweet and loving disposition.  She wagged her tail and did her best to wiggle when greeting everyone, despite her injured leg.

Is Princess the girl you have been waiting for?  Apply today - she won't be around too long!

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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Not every home is the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested...  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.
