YEAR IN REVIEW

We would like to thank all of our adopters, volunteers and supporters as this has been an outstanding year for all the dogs in Austin Boxer Rescue. It is important that everyone knows we could not do this without each and every one of you! I also want to thank everyone for donating in December to give us a nice cushion to start the year off on the right foot. We were able to raise $8955, which was a little shy of our $10,000 goal but we are very grateful for everyone’s support. We hope you can see from our numbers exactly where you money is going and can continue to support ABR in the future.

Thanks again!
Jennifer Pope, President

We were able to raise over $221,000 in 2011, that’s $67,000 more than 2010. This money has gone directly to help us save more dogs as you can see from the numbers below.

Adopted=354
Silver hearts/perm fosters=48
TOTAL NUMBER OF DOGS ADOPTED OUT in 2011=402

In rescue at end of year=183
Transferred to other no kill rescues/facilities=7
Deceased while in rescue=40 (15 euthanized for severe aggression, the rest died or were euthanized due to terminal medical conditions)
TOTAL NUMBER OF DOGS RESCUED/IN RESCUE in 2011=632

DOGS IN NEED

DOGS IN NEED
If you want to help dogs that are currently at risk of dying in shelters please consider opening your home and giving a boxer a second chance at life. If you are able to help take a dog into foster care please let us know ASAP as time is running out for these dogs.  If you can not foster but want to help then please consider donating towards boarding this is known as "virtually fostering." We are only able to save dogs when we have foster homes and or donations. Click here or on photo to the right see the dogs in need of rescue at shelters.

****Please note: no dogs over the age of 6 years can be virtually fostered, they must go directly into foster care.****

DOGS FOR ADOPTION

You can see all of our adoptable dogs on our Adoption Page.

FEATURED DOG

It's a new year and Sam is ready to start his year in a forever home..

Sam desperately needs our help! He's been in rescue for quite some time and needs to find his forever home asap. He is currently in boarding and not doing well as you can imagine being deaf. ABR is willing to place Sam in the right home as a part of our permanent foster program where there is no adoption fee. ABR will also provide continuous training for him in his new home along with a training collar.

Sam is a 2-3 year old very spunky, deaf, white male boxer. He knows sit, stay, down, roll over, stand, and come. He knows to go into his crate when we tap the top of it. He has been through a lot of professional training. He also walks with a loose leash a majority of the time, and gives good eye contact on walks now. He would make a great walking or running partner!

Austin Boxer Rescue, located in Austin Texas, is a non-profit organization that branched off from Lone Star Boxer Rescue of Houston. ABR is made up entirely of volunteers who are dedicated to removing dogs from bad situations and placing them into loving permanent homes. We receive dogs from shelters, owners, and dogs found as strays and our volunteers take them into their homes. We do not have a shelter or a facility.  Our rescued dogs are rehabilitated medically, socialized and are taught basic manners.  We service Austin, San Antonio, Temple, and the surrounding areas.

Thank you for your support !!!
