of 5 Next > Reece (was Chico) Here are some pics that I took of Reece (was Chico) the other day :) He's doing great...does NOT like to go to his room (crate) but he does and he's fine once he's in it. He'll get used to it :) Loves to play and walk and sniff and all the things that dogs love to do.
Thanks so much, Cammie (aka Carmie) Well we changed her name to Cammie, J She is very happy, we LOVE her so much. She plays every day and gets plenty of attention from our 5 daughters!! We take her to all our soccer practices, games, and on the boat with us all the time. She just blended right into our family, a perfect match! Jill Gary (aka Valentino) I just wanted to send this picture to you;-) This is Gary (valentino when we adopted him from ABR) I got this pic when I woke up and noticed my son sleeping with Gary. My son Jack had just returned home from a month long trip with his grandparents. The look of content and love on Garys face displays only a fraction of his love for my son. Gary will never let him go again;-) Thank you ABR Erika Spring
Duke (aka Jack)_250x250.jpg) We can’t be more pleased with our adoption of Duke. Picked him up last night and what a wonderful traveler he was. On our way home, we stopped at our granddaughter’s soccer practice. Again, he was wonderful.. the kids loved on him, he was well-mannered, gave lots of kisses and was a true joy. After practice, we arrived home, finally. Duke was let loose in our backyard. And, boy did he have a running spurt!! Duke had already met Tatu at the Saturday meet-n-greet.. (Recommend this practice to anyone wishing to adopt/foster.) After a short re-acquaintance time, the ‘boys’ played together (see pics). Today they are in the backyard – being boxer boys!! Duke is really settling in and enjoying life!! Thanx to all of the ABR staff that made this possible Mary & Francis Manyen Sage, Dakota, Tatu & Duke Jada Jada is doing great and adjusting well to her new home. Her and Cody play constantly. She is really smart and is quickly catching on to potty training.
We are really enjoying her. Thanks, Princess It’s been several months since my wife and I brought Princess home but I had to write of our success to affirm all that ABR has done for us and two more sweetest dogs. Princess was from day one as advertised: a gentle soul playful, and a magnetic daddy’s girl. She has been such a great partner for our other rescue “Alfie” and just what we needed to balance our family. While she is not without her mischief, Princess is a great dog. Thanks to everyone who helped bring her along for us to enjoy her lovely spirit, we ourselves are better for having her in our life. Especially Alfie.
Remington Hi everyone...this is the DiStefano family checking with an update from Remington. Remington has been with us for about a month and we are having so much fun getting to know him better! He loves splashing in the pool with us. He doesn't swim real well but he is getting better and he plays very safely on the shallow sundeck. Our boys love roughhousing with Remy. He makes us laugh as he does high flying jumps over the stairs and other 'obstacles' in our yard. Remy is also curious about the world beyond our fence and loves to sit up high on our deck and look over the greenbelt trail to watch other dogs and people stroll by! He has made several doggy friends in our neighborhood but his favorite playmate is 'Seabass'. A large, male brindle boxer who walks by daily. We let the boys frolic and do what Boxers do best...rough each other around! Remy is still working on some behavior things like better leash walking but all in all...he is just the perfect dog for us! Thank you ABR! Norah Some pics of her and Buddy "chilling out":-) and some of her just "exploring". I can't get any of them playing cause they are too fast!!! They are sooo cute! I'm going to try and take a video of them playing and send it soon if I can. Still doing great and getting better day by day with the cat:-) By the way, we kinda re-named her, Nelea (like Nellie, yea, my daughter picked that out:-), and she immediately took to it. Send more info soon! Thanks, Amanda Tyson I wanted to let you know Tyson has settled in beautifully. He even snuggled with me on the couch this morning! He and Raz are getting along very well, Tyson lets him know when to take it easy. He's eating well, loves going for walks. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him, and thanks for letting him become a part of our family! I tried to get a picture of Tyson and Raz together, but like you said he has to be where you are, so when I get up to get the camera Tyson gets up and follows me. He's such a good boy! carole Gracie (aka Tara) and Slick (aka John Boy) We, Gracie (aka Tara) and Slick (aka John Boy) just wanted to let everyone at Austin Boxer Rescue know that we are doing great! Don't know how we ended up together, but we did and we really love each other and our family! We have a great time together every day, and love to play chase and tug of war in our backyard. We go on walks every day and greet all the other dogs in the neighborhood. Dad keeps threatening to take us out on the boat this summer, so we are looking forward to some fun lake activity - we even have our own life vests! Considering we started out in a shelter, thanks to ABR and its dedicated volunteers, life has turned out pretty darn good...so we just wanted to write and say 'Thank You'! Penny & Carlos (Pookie & Bruiser) The pups are doing great :) They know how to sit (for a little bit) and we are working very hard on house-training. Carlos is 95% accident free & Penny, well, she is relying on her good looks to get her out of trouble.... we are making progress tho! They walk on leads, know their names and come when called. Amazing stuff considering their age. They follow each other around & are best friends. I am so happy that we could take both of them. I would have wondered everyday where the other was, if only one came to Fort Worth.
I'm sending a few pix, wow they are sleeping in all of them! The ones of them awake are all blurry, they play then sleep :) The fist one is in their crate, they go in there on their own. The next one was after the big road trip to Fort Worth. Then with me at work, their bed is near my desk. The last one is them after after all took a nap
Thanks! Lucy (formerly Sandee) ABR, Just wanted to write a few words about my experience adopting Lucy (formerly Sandee). We lucked out and found the PERFECT match for our family. Lucy is the sweetest most gentle girl, and completely respects her feline brother. Shawn and I have so much fun on our walks, bike rides, and bringing her out to the country to run around and chase birds. Lucy is super smart-I love teaching her new tricks, bringing her with me on new adventures, and cuddling up and watching our favorite shows. Everyone who meets Lucy falls in love with her, and we look forward to sharing our lives and all the joy and laughs she brings us on a daily basis. Liz and Jim-thanks for your hard work with our sweet girl. And ABR, you do GREAT things in the lives of so many dogs and their humans. Keep up the amazing work! Jessica Harley (Fuego) and Kobe (Sam Diego) Harley (Fuego) has quickly found his spot in our pack. He enjoys playing with his big brother Kobe (Sam Diego), following him around on walks, chasing tennis balls and frisbee's. Its hard to believe we've had Kobe for a full year now. He's just been the best dog ever! He's already becoming a good role model for little Harley. They wrestle all the time and are now best buds. Thanks ABR for providing these dogs a second chance and allowing us to enjoy it with them. Michael Bronson (Basil) Isn't he just gorgeous!? We are SO thankful for him!
Lokey Lokey has been the perfect addition to our family! She settled right in and didn't even need time to adjust. It was a match made in Heaven. We still have to settle the fights between our boys on who she will be sleeping with every night but she loves all the attention. We have fun at the river, on car rides or just walking in the neighborhood. Thank you so much for getting to know our family so we could be matched with the perfect little girl!!
Harley Harley has settled in PERFECTLY! I keep telling people how lucky I got with him! My roommate (or anyone that is around Harley) can tell you how spoiled he is!! Everyone keeps giving me a hard time because Harley already has 4 different collars, they always say Harley has as many necklaces as Momma, ha! I don't care through, that's exactly why I wanted a rescue dog, so that I could give them a good home and spoil them rotten! He definitely knows who his Momma is. He is the best little cuddler and just wants to love on me! He has yet to show that he is anxious around any other dog; although we do try to keep introductions slow, Harley doesn't understand, he just wants to PLAY! He is a bit standoff-ish at first with people he doesn't know, but after just a few introductions he just wants to love and kiss on everyone! I take him just about everywhere with me. He LOVES to ride in the car! It doesn't matter where we are going he just wants to be included. I don't know if you remember Shiner, my roommates 4 year old lab, but Harley has found his best friend in her! Every morning, he leaps off my bed (at 6:30 EVERY morning, ha) and runs straight to my roommates door. He kind of taps it with his head like he is telling Shiner it is time to play, then he will go out side and come back in and sit and wait for her! I leave him out and about when we are gone and have NEVER had a problem. When we get home we find them both in my roommates room. It's like he doesn't like to leave her side if they are alone! He absolutely refuses to lay on his dog bed (probably because I let him sleep on the bed with me) but will lay on Shiner's bed all day long! We haven't figured that out yet but he does have a bed and crate, he just refuses to use them! It's fine with us though; if he's happy then we are ok with it. He LOVES the lake too! We discovered that he doesn't really like tennis balls, but if you give him something bigger that he can play tug-o-war and fetch with then he will be in and out of the water all day long (we used sunscreen of course!). He has adjusted so well and I couldn't be happier about it. We all love him!! I have really been blessed with you guys and once Harley really gets settled in and life calms down for me, I hope to be looking to adopt another boxer! It was the best decision I have ever made! Thanks!
Angel (Chloe) Angel (formerly known as Chloe) was the bravest little puppy we've seen. She immediately jumped at the chance to play with Jedi, our older Boxer mix (notorious for sticking his nose in the mouths of playmates and scaring them away with rough play). We thought, "She must be the one! She's not just tolerating Jedi, she's encouraging him!" Upon bringing her home, though, my family was unsure how to react during playtime. After all, Angel was tiny, and Jedi (at approx. 50 lbs) was definitely closer to the Heavyweight division. What if he hurt Angel, or frightened her during all their daily rough bouts? What if Jedi got angry with Angel playing tug-of-war with his neck? We watched carefully and diligently as Jedi made her do back flips, forward and backward tumbles, and tons of right jabs. Her foot / body maneuvering was fascinating, especially the helicopter rotation in the air! She loved his technique and she always came back for more (sometimes she would do a forward-roll to instigate play)! Soon, we realized that the training was working both ways! Jedi loved Angel so much, he began offering some playtime on her level...getting down and rolling over, waiting patiently when necessary, just for Angel to come play foot and mouth games. After almost 2 weeks, Angel has demonstrated her intelligence by learning a few commands, copying Jedi on good behaviors (when she feels like it!), and barely having any accidents in the house. She is also learning to let go of her alpha role within the pack and has come along quite well! She is a loving, playful addition to our family -- in fact, I'm not sure who adores her more -- my son or Jedi! (Angel wags her whole body when our 10 year old gets home from school, and uses her long tongue to clean his face!) Our family (especially Jedi!) truly thanks you for allowing us to adopt such a happy, healthy, energetic Boxer puppy! We have already spoken with several people, including family members, about the wonderful experience we had with Austin Boxer Rescue! Keep up the great work -- you're not just helping the homeless pets, you're helping families like us be happier! Love, The Cottons Elle (Sweet Pea) I saw that Jim and Liz provided the picture of Ellee (formerly Sweet Pea) to your site and wanted to let you know what a terrific dog she's been, We prayed that we would find the perfect boxer to be a companion to us and our puppy Zeph, and we could not have found a better match than Ellee. She and Zeph play wonderfully and enjoy each other so much! Ellee has an amazingly sweet and loyal temperment, and follows me or my husband around almost constantly. She was a star pupil in the obedience class we took her too at Rob Carey for 6 weeks. Her once-broken leg is almost unnoticable now; she runs like the wind and is so graceful and enjoyable to watch. Thanks to all your volunteers for the hard work, time and effort you put in with these dogs. Thanks to you, we have a loving companion for years to come.
Elwood (Lex) Thank you so much!!! We couldn't have asked for a better boy! The second we brought him home he fit in just perfectly. Kashi Crystal and I wanted express our gratitude for your time and expertise in arranging our meeting with and adoption of Kashi. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted to share them with you. After an initial period of intense separation anxiety, Kashi has settled down and fits snugly in to our home/family. She’s shockingly clever. And she’s already the best friend I’ve ever had. We’ve experienced a lot of laughs and love in the few months Kashi has lived with us, which we wouldn’t have had without her or ABR. So, thank you! Chad. Kylie My new family...
Princess My new family..
Spartacus I just wanted to give you all a quick follow up on Spartacus. He adjusted very well and three walks around the neighborhood yesterday really were great. Today he met my grandson which has been an awesome sight to see. It seems Spartacus' tail nub has not stopped wagging. Thank you all for this blessing being Spartacus. You filled our house with love, Thank you. Larry Honcho I just want to let everyone at ABR know I am doing great and I love my new home. My new sister, Shotzy, has been showing me the ropes. We play on pretty days, and take walks with our family. Not only does the baby in my new home have sticky yummy fingers, but he drops food off his highchair for me. I enjoy all the attention both kids give me, and I protect them in return. My favorite part of the day here is naptime. :-) Thank you so much for finding my forever family. They really love me here, and I know it was a match made in heaven.
Boxer Hugs, Mach Hello everyone,
time for a big THANK YOU for introducing Mach into our lives! We love him so much and he's a great addition to our family. He's a great walking partner and every morning both me and Mach enjoy at least an hour listening to birds and checking out "peemails". We will for sure show up at an adoption day soon, at least me and Leoniide and most likely Mach too ;-) Major (Formely Collin) Just wanted to add a little success story about Major (formerly Collin). He was named one of the Fittest Dogs in Austin in Austin Fit Magazine's March issue! Austin's Fittest Dog. We're very proud of our little local celebrity! When ABR received him into rescue, he was heartworm positive, skinny, and had a rough go at life. Even still, he kept a wiggle in his tail and a sparkle in his eye. His treatment was very painful for him, but he made it through like a champ and quickly became my running buddy. He really inspires us to get out the door and hit the trails to burn off that boxer energy and it keeps us in shape. It will be 2 years this June that I've had him, and I can't imagine a better "fit" for me. :-) He shows his gratitude to me everyday with his foot long, slobbery tongue, that is perpetually hanging out (even when he sleeps!). Thanks for saving him for us!
Giorgio (aka Giorgie) Giorgio (aka Giorgie) is doing quite well in his forever home! We're pretty sure he thinks he's a lap dog because his favorite thing to do is to crawl up in our laps and snooze. When he's feeling more rambunctious, Giorgie loves to tug on ropes and throw around squeaky toys - he's already killed two squeakers! Giorgie has had fun socializing with other dogs, and recently met his cousin, Bentley, a miniature pinscher with a fierce bark. Giorgie wanted nothing more than to wrestle with little Bentley, but he doesn't quite know his strength just yet! Giorgie will be off to school soon for some obedience training which will hopefully tame his jumping while helping him channel his puppy spirit!
Macy (Tres) I am not sure if you remember me but I adopted one of the boxers that your son was fostering. I hope that the other two found good homes. Macy (Tres) is doing wonderful! I never imagined I would love a dog this much. I hurry home everyday so we can go on our run and up to the park to play with the other dogs. I decided her birthday would be in May so she is almost a year. She is 65 pounds and I am assuming going to fill out a little more. She likes to sit in my lap and go where ever I go. I think my husband gets a little jealous. She is living like a princess and loving it. Attached is a picture of Macy hanging out on the couch I thought you might enjoy.
Thanks again, Asia ABR, It has almost been a year since we have fostered and adopted Asia. We love her very much. She has gained about 10 lbs and looks gorgeous. She is very well behaved and we are still working on jumping & walking with a leash. She sure likes to pull! When she came to us, she was extremely skinny and skittish. With some love and training, she has adapted very well to our home. She loves to play with the other dogs; she knows that the Chihuahua is boss... My boyfriend always says how sweet she is, and is she ever! We have four dogs now... otherwise, we would love to foster more. Thank you for all you do! Sincerely, Chau & John Posey Well I thought I would update you on our beautiful new girl. We changed her name to Bella Posey which she responds to without any problem. Buster and her have become great pack mates. They play and play and love to go to the pond (tank) and run and play chase in the water. This is a treat for good behavior....Buster still thinks he is the alpha but those of us watching the transition know that Bella Posey is the leader. She is so bright. She watched Buster go thru the dog door and figured it out in no time. They are allowed to go back and forth to the yard and the house in the daytime while we are home. They especilly like going up on the deck and looking across the fields. here is a picture we took of them on their throne...
Muggles We could not have asked for a better dog. Muggles is part of the family since the day we got him. He follows my husband or me around everywhere. He loves to go run outside in the backyard and loves to be a lap dog. He always says yes to car rides. He sleeps at the foot of our bed every night. His "smile" says more than words. I have sent a few pictures. He doesn't like to stay still for long. Kudos to everyone at Austin Boxer Rescue for the great work you all do. Michelle, Dany and Muggles :) Texas (Formerly Thorn) Thorn is adapting really well. He is learning to overcome is our staircase. We had the same issue with Prada as a puppy so we've had some experience. He didn't know how to go up or down yesterday but he can go down by himself now and he is working on the going up. We really feel he is going to fit in well with us. He has not had any accidents and is full of kisses.
By the way, we decided to call him TEXAS :D -Sarah Duke (Formerly Stryker) Hi! This Duke (formerly Stryker), I wanted to give everyone at ABR a update. I am doing great! I have become very comfortable in my new home. I get to go for walk(s) everyday with Mom and Dad. I have two teenage boys (brothers) that like to wrestle with me. Psst... Don't tell anyone, but I let them win. I have my own door so I can go outside anytime I want. Although I wasn't sure how to use it at first. So, I made my bothers go through it first to show me how. I get to sleep with Mom and Dad every night. Mom says I take up too much room and hog all the covers. She also says me and Dad have a snoring contest at night every once in a while. I have lots of toys to play with. My favorite one is the plastic cup I found. Anyways, I am very happy and doing great. Sorry, it took me so long to give ABR a update. Getting on a computer around here is tough. Duke. Samson We just wanted to let ABR know how well Samson is doing, and how much we love having him in our family. Samson is our fourth boxer (third rescue), and he is clearly the best behaved boxer we have ever had. We are so appreciative of ABR and his fosters. (His fosters obviously did a tremendous job training him.) He is so sweet with our daughter and son and loves their attention. He is the perfect mix of obedience and boxer playfulness. (We love to get him cranked up and watch him buck like a bronco.) Samson is a great addition to our family. We are so thankful for him and ABR.
Sincerely, Tucker (aka Tux) I wanted to take a moment to let you know that Tucker formerly Tux) is doing great. He loves everyone! Unfortunately, our grumpy old cat doesn't love him back. I have found them curled-up sleeping together in the crate, though, so I think they'll eventually do fine. Tucker has put on weight gradually and looks just gorgeous. He's now a 60lb lap-dog! We constantly get compliments about how good-looking and well-behaved he is. As you'll see from the pictures I've attached, his favorite time is NAP TME. Daycare life agrees with him: eat, play until you drop, nap, play, eat, bedtime. He's incredibly smart and has no problem distinguishing between parents dropping-off or picking-up children and strangers who don't belong here. Thank you for helping us find the perfect dog for us!
Nanci Edwards Annie I would like to thank everyone for their valiant effort in getting Annie home. She is doing good. She slept with me last night but will not let me out of her sight I guess for fear of me leaving her again. Again much thanks and blessings to everyone!!!! Regards Jeff Davis Daisy (aka Tessie) Daisy (Tessie) is a very happy dog now. She goes to work with me every day. She does not like to be left alone, but is okay if we do leave her. She will make this howling nose. It is too cute. When she does have to stay alone in her kennel, she does just fine. She does get very excited when we let her out - she will grab a toy and want to play. She takes turns sleeping with all of us. She has done great with potting. Cats come around her. They still don't know what to think though...lol. She will lay in Greg's lap alot on the couch. Or next to one of us. She is such a great dog and is just so loving and sweet. We love her bunches!! I promise we will take great care of her!!! She does love to come to work with her mommy. Does really well in the car. Oh, and she is now doing training at Petsmart. Although I say she is, I really think it is us that are doing the training...LOL. I have learned so much.
Frosty (aka Bruno Hi my name was Bruno but my family calls me now Jake-Frost or short cut Frosty. My family adopted me in January 2009. I live with my sister Emma-Lee a boxer brindle and my brother Toby a mix. I love to go to the doggy park with my sister and my brother, or we go together for a walk. I learned a lot since I'm here and my Family say I'm a fast learner. I can do sit, down and stay and some other tricks. I behave on the walk perfectly. After the walk I take a little nap (or beauty sleep) on my couch. My family is very happy with me and I'm very happy with them.
I'm not a sporty boxer so I got my own dog ramp Bomber (Barkley) Barkley is now Bomber (after Joe Louis the former boxing champ). He is fitting in perfectly and has already made a new best friend out of our 2yr old female Bella. I've enclosed a few pics of Bomber in his new home, hope you like them. Thanks again, -Antonio and Sara Gra Brody (aka Chino) I just wanted to share some pictures with you. Brody (aka Chino) has just been a wonderful addition to my home. He is sooo sweet. The first couple of weeks were rough, but boy was it worth it. I could not have more love for a dog than I do Brody. He just loves everyone and other dogs. I had to go out of town a couple of weeks ago and had to board him. When I picked him up, the animal hospital did not want to give him back. They said he was so good and so sweet….that’s my boy. Brody thinks he is a lot smaller than he is. He wants to sit in my lap when I am in the recliner, but that is only comfortable for a short period of time….he is huge. It does not matter where I go in the house; he has to follow me everywhere I go. Thank you very much for doing what you do. If it was not for the Austin Boxer Rescue, I would not have my boy. Tom Vera It's hard to believe it's been over a year now since I adopted Vera. I got an email from your organization tonight, and it reminded me that I really should send you all an update. Vera is doing great! Her health is good, and she fits in perfectly with our family. I'm attaching a picture that I thought was pretty cute, of her being very protective and loving with my five year old. :) I spread the word as often as I can about what a great organization you run there, and I wish I lived a little closer so that I could do more to help. Keep up the great work- you're changing the lives of these dogs, and of their new owners!
Happy Holidays- Oliver Dear Austin Boxer Rescue, Thank you so much for Oliver! He is going to be a source of adventure, amusement and love for many years to come!! We are so appreciative of the tips in the owner's manual! The whole family read them and we are putting many ideas into practice already! The only thing I lack is the address to which we may mail the adoption fee and a donation towards medical expenses for either Oliver's past care or to another dog in need. Again, our deepest thanks for Oliver's care during his life with ABR! We hope to be loyal supporters for years to come! We have attached a picture of Oliver and his new toy! Patty & Joe Geisinger Buddy I left you a telephone message, but also wanted to e-mail you to let you know that Buddy is doing GREAT! He has warmed up to our cat and I have tested him, leaving him alone in the house while we are away for a few hours, and he has proven to be great. Thank you and ABR SOOO much, he is AWESOME and he is definitely keeping my daughter and I in shape!!!:-) Here are some pics! Thanks again, Amanda Rosie Rosie is doing great in her new home! I went to visit her and her new family - Paula, Mine, Gus (her new fur brother) and the 5 cats - and Rosie was looking as happy and beautiful as I'd ever seen her! We all went outside for a family photo, and Rosie ran and played with her brother Gus the whole time! You could really see that she is well loved and has regained a lot of her youthful joy! Her new family couldn't be happier with their latest addition and thank everyone at Austin Boxer Rescue for all their hard work. Rosie is DEFINITELY an ABR success story!
Keely I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my darling Keely. She is the sweetest, calmest boxer I've ever met. She is still a little fearful, but she's doing better every day and she only went under the bed 2 times this week. She plays with me every day - in the morning when she comes in from her potty break and at bed time and she gets sillier every day. I've never seen a dog that gets along so well with other dogs, she's a diplomat like no other. She's also SO obedient. She stays close and I can easily walk her without a leash. She usually slips out the door with me, but if I tell her to stay, she stays perfectly. In the picture with my yellow SUV, Keely is in the passenger seat and the driver is the boxer mix we adopted from ABR last year, Ginger. Yes, Ginger does have her permit. They get along wonderfully and Keely even gives Ginger sweet kisses. As you can see from the picture with my little terrier, Jessi, Keely has even won over my little monster. Jessi has a hard and fast rule against boxers, but she adores Keely and loves to chase her around the yard (Keely lets Jessi win). She even plays with my 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Sandy, and he is now going through his 2nd childhood because of Keely. Every day I see her fun boxer spirit grow more and more and she has more confidence too. This morning she 'protected' me from the evil lawn mower. She still has a sad face, but I've seen her happy face - I just haven't been able to get a picture of it yet because I'm usually busy 'boxing' with her when she gets happy. I'll be sure to send a picture when I capture one of her happy moments - they are becoming more and more frequent. Nothing makes my day like watching TV with this 50-pound angel on my lap or going to sleep with her glued to my side in the bed. Keely has truly blessed my life. Many thanks, Jacque Charlie (aka Chato) We cannot thank you all enough for Charlie. He was not shown much love for the majority of his life until he was rescued by two amazing ladies, Elizabeth and Eileen. They went to rescue one dog but left with two. Charlie was going to be euthanized the next day and they could not let it happen. Because of their compassion and love for animals we have a new member of our family to love. Charlie is quirky and silly and has brought such joy to our home. He has three kids who adore him and a German Shepherd who thinks he is the world's best buddy. He does not have to live outside anymore. He has a home with a soft,comfortable bed. He has a family to love and love him in return. He knows we will always be there for him and he does not have to worry anymore. Our family has truely been blessed with Charlie. The Nunez family Franny and Huey Loves of my LIFE!!!!!
Lola I thought you would like an update on Lola. She has adjusted well and has plenty of activity to keep her busy. Twice a week she goes to day camp at Petsmart and plays with all her new friends. This has been one of the best outlets for her enormous amount of energy she has. She also loves her play time at home with her toys and gets plenty of walks. She even has plenty of friends that come over for the weekend where it is often mayhem when they play. She has grown but it seems that she will be about 50lbs or so. We couldn’t be more happy to have her and look forward to years to come. Thanks for helping place her in our home.
Best regards, Jax (aka Parker) Thank you ABR for our sweet boy Jax (aka Parker). We loved him from the moment we saw him on the website and knew we wouldn't give him back the second we brought him home. I don't think I have met a more funnier dog than he is. We find ourselves in frequent outbursts of laughter because he does some of the most halirous things we have ever seen. He is also one of the most well tempered dogs I have ever met it's so amazing. My two and five year old little girl's pull on his jaws, lay on him, they have tried to ride him, they put play clothes on him, they mess with his feet I don't think there is anything they haven't done to him and he never not once has protested the things the girls do. He loves to snuggle and thinks he is a little dog because he loves to be in your lap but hangs off both sides of your legs. He is very smart and learns quickly. We have push down handles on the back door and he has figured out how to let himself in. Now if he will just learn how to shut the door behind him that will be great. He is my little side kick and has to be right where I am at all times no exceptions. He snores loud, loves to play run and hop, loves other dogs, extremely hard headed, can also be quite lazy, very curious, quite boisterous with his feet, loves walks and is very good on the leash, likes playing in water, needs to know what everyone is doing at all times and my most favorite if someone is missing from the heard when we all come home and he hasn't greeted you yet he will come and look for you until he does. To put it simply he is an amazing dog. He has won our hearts. Thank you for our wonderful boy and thank you for all the hard work you do to improve the lives of these wonderful creatures. We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults.
Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment
Thank you again Cherry and Major How boring would life be without our two clown boxers? Because of the hard work and dedication of Austin Boxer Rescue, we have Cherry and Major to enrich our lives with their antics, fun, and companionship. This is a recent trip to South Dakota where Cherry and Major took a hike around a scenic lake. On walks, people are always giving us compliments on our beautiful and well behaved boxers. Thank you ABR for all that you do. YOU TOTALLY ROCK! Liz Page
