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.

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

In rescue at end of year=183

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.**** 

PLEASE HELP US!!!!

DOGS FOR ADOPTION

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

FEATURED DOG

Mimzy does well with both dogs and children, but she's too interested in cats to be placed in a home with one. Mimzy has an moderate energy level most of the time which is likely due to her being a little more mature. However, like most Boxers, she is always very excited to see her foster mom when she arrives home. Mimzy plays very well with her foster brother and settles right down for a nap when she gets tired. If you happen to be relaxing on the sofa when she's ready for her nap, be prepared for her to snuggle up in your lap!

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 !!!
