#NTXGivingDay2023 | #FindYourPassionGiveWithPurpose www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/dfwboxerrescueNTX Giving Day is almost over! Have you supported your passion today? It's not too late to get your gift in before midnight tonight and help DFWBR reach its $10,000 goal! Here's why every little bit helps!Sweet Carston found himself in the shelter late on a Friday night with a horrible injury to his left hind foot. In addition to the foot injury, he was very thin, covered in fleas and ticks, and had hookworms and tapeworms. We got him to an ER clinic as soon as possible the next day, where he received medication and a blood transfusion due to anemia caused by the fleas, ticks, and foot injury. The foot injury was too severe to be able to save his foot, so an amputation was necessary. After a stay at the ER clinic, he was transferred to one of our regular vet partners, who brought in a specialist to perform an amputation of his left hind leg since it was a higher risk surgery due to his anemia. His ER stay, amputation surgery, and other routine vetting cost the rescue $7300. His foster mom reports that he is a typical goofy 11 month old Boxer boy and he has adjusted well to his new tri-pawed life. He loves everyone and is a very sweet and gentle boy. He loves to play with and snuggle other dogs and really loves playing with his soccer ball. Because of our supporters, Carston received life saving care and will be available for adoption very soon! ... See MoreSee Less

Please help out our Dallas Boxers!#NTXGivingDay2023 | #FindYourPassionGiveWithPurpose www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/dfwboxerrescueThe day is almost over! Have you sent your NTX Giving Day gift yet? Every little bit will help us get closer to our goal of raising $10,000! We’ve raised $6,670!Here's why we need your help:This sweet boy is Goodwin. Someone had called for a welfare check and when the Animal Control Officer arrived, he found Goodwin living in a dirt hole in the extreme Texas heat, emaciated and covered in so many fleas that they were literally sucking the life out of him. The other dog in the yard was already dead. It was determined that Goodwin's elderly owner had dementia and other family was not willing to care for him. Goodwin was extremely emaciated and anemic, covered in so much dirt and fleas that it took several baths to kill them all. He had intestinal parasites and also tested positive for heartworm disease. Through all of the baths and being taken away from his home, Goodwin's nub never stopped wagging.Even though he had been rescued from his dire situation, he quickly found himself on the euthanisia list due to no space at the shelter. With his age estimated to be between 7-8 years old, multiple medical problems and being an owner surrender, his chances weren't good for adoption. Shelters typically euthanize the owner surrendered dogs first to make room for the dogs that require a stray hold. DFWBR came to the rescue!He has been in his foster home since July. His foster mom reports that he is literally perfect in every way. His callouses from living on a dirty, hard surface are healing, he's been neutered, dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, vaccinated and had several rounds of lab work to ensure that his anemia is resolving. His vetting costs were $925. He is so thankful to be clean and living inside that he can't stop wagging his nub and asking for kisses and snuggles in a gentle but sweet way.Goodwin has found his forever family and will enjoy the rest of his life, all made possible by your donations to help us continue to save dogs like him! ...
