4/12/16 Jewel is
a loving and playful little boxer and being deaf does not inhibit her one
bit. Her favorite thing to do is snuggling on her human's lap and just
hanging out with them. She is a low energy girl who loves to take
naps. Jewel is both crate trained and housebroken. She is polite
and friendly with all other dogs, although she rarely plays with them.
Jewel can often be found sharing a dog bed with all of her foster friends.
Due to her unknown past, Jewel has a fear of men. She is able to bond
with some men, but needs to be allowed to do so very slowly. At times,
she may suffer from stress around men that she has begun to bond with, and
will need to be given space and time.

Jewel is
still currently in boarding and training. She has made a lot of
progress and is ready for her forever home. She would do best in a
quiet environment with a male dog, a fully fenced yard, and no children
under 16. If you are unable to adopt at this time, but still want to
help Jewel - please consider being a sponsor for her. AABR is paying
$15 a day for her care and training until a suitable home is found.
Jewel could use your support while she waits for her forever family.

Jewel
is a five year old petite boxer who is also deaf. Although she weighs
just 37 lbs, Jewel is huge on affection and sweetness with people close to
her. She can be somewhat shy with strangers and has a fear of boys and
men, so will need a lot of patience and understanding to help her
personality shine.
Jewel is crate trained and rides well in the car. She walks nicely
on leash and is good with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She is a
big snuggle bug and loves nothing better than to curl up on your lap and be
held. Jewel is also pretty low energy and doesn't need lots of
exercise. In fact, she would rather cuddle and nap.
Because she can be nervous around male strangers, she will need
supervision and guidance when meeting them so her adopter will need to be
able to offer her some support and be confident in these situations.
She would be best suited to a quieter, calm home with a fully fenced
yard and no children under 16. Deaf dog experience is not required and
her trainer will offer any help needed, free of charge. If you have an
appropriate home for Jewel, apply today!

Jewel
has made great progress with our behaviorist and is reported to be a real
snuggle bug. She has a more difficult time trusting men. Jewel
is looking for a calm home with another dog and a fenced yard.
When Jewel first came into rescue, she was very thin. After giving
several different foods a try and several trips to the vet, we have found
that she has a limited range of foods her system can tolerate. Jewel
is now eating Hill's ID and doing well. Please consider donating
towards Jewel's food and continued training while she waits for a forever
family!

Jewel
will be working with our behaviorist in Connecticut to help improve her
interactions with new people and to also work on her confidence. She
arrived safely this weekend and introductions went well with the other dogs.
We will post Jewel's progress as she gets settled in.

Jewel
was very uncomfortable with the older teenager in her foster home and needs
to find a new placement quickly. She is in danger of having to go to
our boarding kennel, but we are very concerned that Jewel will shut down
there and refuse to eat. She is a very timid girl who is already
significantly underweight.
Jewel would do best in a quiet environment without a lot of people coming
in and out. She needs a confident dog in the home to be her ears and a
fenced yard. Jewel is crate trained and bonded very quickly to her
previous foster mom. We will be working with a trainer to help Jewel
learn how to handle introductions to people she is not familiar with.
This girl is in urgent need of a foster placement - please apply today to
help Jewel!

Jewel
just arrived at her new foster home this evening. She did great on the
transport and all the volunteers who met her commented on how sweet she was.
Jewel wasn't eating well at the shelter and has lost a lot of weight.
Her foster mom will be giving her some TLC. Jewel is very scared and
unsure of the changes in her life right now. We will post a new update
once her foster home learns more about her and she gets settled in there.
5/27/15 -
Jewel's family relocated from the south and secured an apartment.
When they arrived, they discovered that dogs were not allowed, so they took
Jewel and her companion to the shelter. Jewel is a very petite boxer
girl, weighing around 30 lbs. She is deaf, so is looking for a home
with a male dog and a securely fenced yard.
Jewel previously lived with two children. She is a very gentle girl
who gets along well with other dogs. Jewel is housebroken and
typically slept in bed with her owners. She is a very sweet girl who
loves to get belly rubs.
Jewel will be spayed soon and will then arrive at her new foster home,
where she will be living with a small breed dog. We will post more
information once Jewel's foster home gets to know her better. |
