We are Opening our Adoption Applications up again!

RAB is going to be welcoming 2 new dogs to our rescue this week.  

The dogs won't be available for adoption yet, until we can learn more about them in order to set up their adoption for full success. If you are interested we will be opening up our site this week to accept applications. 

Please keep in mind that the timeframe will depend solely on the dog.  And we will be making the placement based on the best fit for the dogs. 

You can access the adoption application HERE:  Adoption Application 

Little Lady is looking for a new home - Lucia ADOPTED

LUCIA - ADOPTED

Meet Lucia. She is 6 months. An Old English Bulldogge. She is a sweet young girl who is also smart and fun. Unfortunately due to life changes this little lady is finding herself looking for a new home. It is heart breaking and devastating for this family that they have re-home her but they have reached out to RAB for help.

Sweet Lucy was born with Bilateral stifle thickening and palpable effusion. Aka Bilateral cruciate tear. This is in both of her hind legs. The vet recommends TPLO surgery on both of her legs once the vet is confident that her growth palettes have matured. He estimates that this surgery can be done when she is 10 months old.

Doing one TPLO is an extensive surgery let alone two at the same time. Recovery and rehabilitation post surgery would be about 3 months. They expect her to have a good prognosis to have normal athletic function once fully recovered.

We are looking for a special home for this sweet girl to land.

If you can help please let us know. Pop us an email at: info.rescueaboxer@gmail.com

Merry Christmas from RAB

A big thank you to our volunteers for sharing your home's and your time. We are so thrilled to be sharing this rescue journey with you all. 

We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas filled with love and boxer kisses. Stay safe and healthy! 🎄🎅

From all the RAB Boxers

Sheri, Suzie & Jen

A few months ago, RAB was notified about Lucy.  Her owners took her to the vet for a sore leg.  Last winter she slipped and fell on an icy driveway and her leg seemed to never heal.  Turns out this girl now has a torn or ruptured ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament.  The ACL is a vital support structure of the knee.  This ligament's primary role is to provide and maintain stability to the knee.  The most common cause of this is excessive internal rotation of the tibia when the joint is partially flexed.  This can be the result of trauma or running and planting the hind limbs while the momentum of the body continues to move forward.    

Lucy needs a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery.  Her owners decided against surgery and opted to have her euthanized instead of going forward with the surgery.  They could not commit to the surgery costs and the recovery time.  The vet and the staff fell immediately in love with Lucy and decided to reach out to RAB in hopes that we could help save this little girl.

Lucy is a sweet 2 year old boxer girl.  Yes we know all Boxers are amazing.  As we all know and love this breed deeply, we know that each of them have their own individual personalities and are so human like.  Well imagine the sweetest little girl you have ever known.  That is our Lucy.  Once this girl has your trust,  she loves to walk in between your legs and wiggle her butt.  She is a spunky one that howls at sirens while walking down the street.  Sweet Lucy is a cuddler!  She is always cuddling her foster boxer siblings.  So like any 2 year old Boxer.  Lucy has a lot of energy.  Unfortunately Lucy cannot exert that energy.  Nope she can't do the zoomies or the kidney bean.  

Our vet also sees a large lump also on the knee.  This lump would need to be removed as well during the TPLO surgery.  This poor girl has had this injury for a long time and it was never addressed.  Her leg muscles are very atrophied as she has not been using it much.  She will need hydrotherapy sessions before she can even have the ACL surgery. 

This is a very costly surgery at $5500 plus medication and rehabilitation costs.    Her owners were not able to commit to Lucy and provide her with the surgery that she needs. But we think she is worth it!  

Lucy is being fostered by repeat adopters that will care for her throughout her recovery.

We are reaching out to you our friends and supporters for donations to help RAB cover these costs, so that Lucy can again have zoomies and be a kidney bean.

We are asking for donations for our online auction at the end of November, corporate match donations, or monetary donations. Please help if you can.   For Canadian donations over $25 tax receipts can be provided. 

Please email us info.rescueaboxer@gmail.com or send us a DM to donate. 

E-transfers or PayPal are accepted by email. 

We love Lucy! 🐾
