Boxer Lovers COME ON DOWN.... NOW!

[Mousebaby]

My current idea (which doesn't sound believable) is to have someone take the brindle and put it in my yard. I will tell Otter it fell over the fence.

:sniggle: Yeah, that will work!

Stranger things have happened.

I suppose. But I have a feeling that I would fall over the fence too (the OTHER way).

That was a tough read w/a mouth full of lunch....

Neither of these boxers have been spoken for.... they will die tomorrow morning unless someone commits to them.

You know, I've been doing this a long time. I know I just can't save them all. I really do try. As cold as it sounds, I sometimes think they're better off being put down (if it is humanely done) than living in a cage or being mistreated as it appears these fellas were. But as I sit here with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, I see their faces and I hate that.

I know....

I'm going to try to see if I can find out how bad their "teeth" issue is. I can't see commiting to someone w/serious issues...

I cry every day, so many die and it's not their fault, they didn't ask to be born, either by accident or careless breeding....

These dogs should be pulled today by Adopt A Boxer Rescue from Pennsylvania. Abbey's breeder put me in touch with them. I just talked to a wonderful lady and they are aware and are just awaiting the okay. I will know something by 3.

I sure hope so, how great would that be!!! Thanks for your research and time trying to find an alternative for them!!

Apparently, they had a lot of people on their side. The rescue was notified about the white one earlier and then they found out about the brindle. Apparently, this Abdington shelter doesn't like to cooperate with rescue groups but Adopt A Boxer has somebody that can get them out and has done this successfully in the past.

Awesome work!!! WTG to all involved

Why wouldn't a shelter want to cooperate with a rescue group? You'd think ANY shelter would be excited and happy about the possibility of a pet finding a home, but apparently not.

It's not exactly a shelter. It's Animal Control run by the Sheriff's Dept.

WTF?!? WHy would the "shelter" not work with a rescue? That just makes NO sense.

 

[aanderson]

So...does anyone know if these two were pulled by the rescue?

I called my hubby about Blue, but with a new baby and two dogs he said we cannot afford another. We hope to one day get a bigger house with a huge yard and start fostering...but not today.

 

[cattitude]

They were placed.

 

[aanderson]

They were placed.

 

[krazd_kat]

That's wonderful for these boxers and they actually were able to save almost all the dogs.

EXCEPT for a 2-3 yr old lab mix, a momma and her 3 puppies and two other 12 week old puppies, plus about5 cats/kittens...​

So this morning at 8:00 a.m. some of us were thinking and shedding a tear for these poor animals that NEVER asked to be born.

And guess what?? Starting today and tomorrow there will be more emails coming out of this shelter for the next dogs and cats that they will try to save... Why? BECAUSE THEY KILL EVERY THURSDAY.

SPAY and NEUTER, that's the ONLY way pet over population is ever going to be abolished.

Every group needs foster homes - the more foster homes we get the more animals we can save....

I adopted a Boxer

I am new here but was imstantly drawn to this Boxer post. We have always had Boxers and we adopted one from HSCC in April 06'. He was found running stray in Prince Frederick on Sixes Road and not a single soul claimed him during the hold period. Funny thing is he is a gorgeous brindle which we all know is more expensive to buy and not as common as fawn, has a fairly long show style tail dock, and his ears were very recently cropped as they were still scabby and needed a little more posting. He was about 10-12 months old when we got him and has been one of the best dogs we have had yet. I only wish I knew more about him. We had 5 at one time and simply can't house anymore or I would be rescuing every last one.
