Pepsi NOW Sweet Pea Update

Hi Chantelle,

I've attached some photos of SweetPea and Piglet. SweetPea is doing great, the medication for the giardia has worked very quickly, so the diarreah is gone. Her eyes are clearing up as well and she's feeling pretty good. Her personality is really starting to come out, and she's pretty darn adorable!

I'm starting a beginners obedience class with her this Sunday, which will end August 22nd.

Take care,
Rebeccah

Lacey (BRLA's Faith) adopted in May 2005

Hi Chantelle

Lacey is all in all a real sweet heart. She’s got a bit of an attitude when it comes to people or animals coming close to our fence and seems to emit that fear aggression and barks like a maniac (I’m sure we are the favourites in our neighbourhood…hahaha), but she is just AMAZING with our little boy and just a loving, sweet girl.

I’ve attached a few pics. Some are sort of recent and some are from a little over a year ago.

Good luck with rescue and thanks again,

Becky

Champ in his new forever home

Hi Coralee,

Champ is doing great and is actually snuggled up right between Derek and I right now. We have attached some pictures for you, he's definitely the perfect fit for us. We took him to the vet the other day and he is now completely mange free.
Thanks for checking in!

Owen (BRLAs Sumo) adopted June 2010

Hi Allyson,


Attached are some pictures of Owen (formerly known as Sumo at the BRLA) with us and Lucy.

Thank you without borders boxer rescue! We have had Owen (formerly known as Sumo at the BRLA) for over two weeks now and couldn't be happier. He has been a very affectionate dog with us since the day he arrived, he appears to be happy to be a part of our home and family. We walk everyday and he is very good on the leash as he always looks where we are, we take him to the off leash dog park as well and he is good, just gets a little excited to see other dogs. After a couple weeks we have already noticed a little weight gain and his skin is slowly getting better and looking good. He is very fun to be around and he always wants to be where we are. He has a very goofy and fun attitude with us as he will roll around all over us. He has finally figured out what a dog bed is and he loves it, we don't think he has ever enjoyed one before. He and Lucy, our other dog, still have some things to work out but he kisses her everyday.

Just wanted to say thank you for matching and adopting out us with such a wonderful dog!

Mange Puppy (Green) now Ichabob Crane aka Icky - Update

Thank you for the pics! He's so cute. His mange is clearing up nicely, only a few pickies on his head, he is silky smooth otherwise... "Zohan" got a hold of him... Here are a couple of pics of him with his buddy Dug.

George Needs your help - please donate if you can

George arrived at the Carson City shelter in California on June 26th, he had no tags, no collar, no microchip and a very bad limp. Xrays were taken that day and it was determined that George had a fully fractured left femur. The leg was stabilized in a splint and there at the shelter George sat waiting for his owner to come and get him. George's owner never came and he was put up for adoption. Day after day this young boy watched people walking past his run and his tail would wag, waiting, waiting, maybe today is the day I get to go home. What George didn't know is the surgery cost to repair his leg will be approx. $1500 or more. He didn't know that the people walking past his run and saying "oh poor baby" and "oh you are so cute but your leg is broken" would not commit to a dog that required such expensive surgery and lengthy recovery right from the shelter. So day by day the people passed him by and day by day he just lay on his bed and wagged his tail, waiting.

Then on July 1st a couple of volunteers from Boxer Rescue LA were walking thru and saw George. Their hearts broke for this sweet boy. BRLA knew they needed a very special place for George in his condition. George needs a foster home where he can heal and mend, as he will have an extensive recovery period. WBBR received the call on Canada Day. How fitting to ask if George could become a Canadian on this day! Our hearts broke for George but we needed to contact our vet, we needed to find out if we could do this. July 2nd the call came in that Carson Shelter could not hold George any longer and he would be euthanized at the end of the day. Time was of the essence and without a second thought the entire WBBR team said "we'll figure it out". BRLA picked George up and housed him until July 11th when our team travelled to LA to pick him up.

Even through all the pain George has an amazing personality. He loves other dogs and wants nothing more then to sit beside you and bury his big head in to your lap. George is now under the expert care of our vets at Dewndey Animal Hospital in Maple Ridge where he will receive the surgery required to save his leg.

WBBR is thankful for everyone who helped make the rescue of George possible.
