Nala home sweet home





Hi Kerri

Things are going great. Nala is growning like a weed, she's all legs and feet. Aramis and her get along great, they're new best friends. She's great at work, she loves to meet and greet all the clients and their puppies. And is very well mannered. The only time she makes a sound, is when she needs to go out to the bathroom, other than that, she's as quite as a mouse. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday she gets to go to the back and spend the afternoon with our accountant and her dog Bugg, he's a Boston Terrier. The boys love her, they come to all of her Puppy classes, and are very eager to help with the training. She's the youngest and smallest in her class, but she can really hold her own. Everyone can't believe how smart she is, and how quick she picks things up, I personally think that she's the brightest in the class. Grandma & Grandpa have fallen in love with her as well, She has Grandpa totally wrapped around her little paw. Even with her growing so much, he still lets her snuggle up on his lap. On another note, I wanted to let you know that I put in a application to be a Foster Parent. I cant't help but falling in love with all of them, and would love to help out in any way I can. Please let me know. Talk to ya soon

Love Nala Aramis Cout and the Boys :)

Update from Sara now Holly - looking good baby girl!




Hi Jennifer and Marilyn,


Sorry I've taken so long to pass these photos of Holly on - we were trying to get a shot that shows how much she's grown, - she's pretty much doubled in size. A couple of these are when we first got her and the ones with the Boston/bully mix are around a week or so old. We continue to be smitten and so grateful that we have her. Will send more photos as we get them


warmly,
Sharon

WBBR Presents......the Bernie & Kisses Show!





I am in LOVE! I spent some time yesterday with Bernie & Kisses and WOW I'm so amazed at how amazing these dogs are. They are so well behaved and obedient. They seriously are like an old married couple! When they are sleeping if Bernie starts snoring too loud, Kisses nudges him as if to say "Hey honey roll over your... snoring!" and Bernie wakes up and rolls over!

Kisses is named perfectly. She does this cute adorable thing with her lips as if she is blowing you kisses! It melts my heart -:)

Bernie is a man's dog. He loves the big guys and just wants to hang out with you in your "Man Den" and watch the game.

What's even more shocking to me is that they are STILL looking for their 4-ever & ever home!

If you would like to adopt Bernie & Kisses please fill out an application today on our site WBBR

Carley looking beautiful as ever!



Hey Jennifer,

Well, its that time again… a quarterly update on my beautiful Carley! As you can see from the photos, she is doing fabulous. We haven’t been to the beach as much as she would like so she is probably a pound over weight, but spring is here so we’ll be hitting the beach very soon. I just can’t get over how wonderful she is, and I love telling everyone her story. I hope that by telling everyone where she came from, it will generate some more interest in adopting rescued dogs as opposed to other alternatives. Everyone she meets absolutely adores her! Well, until next time, hugs and kisses from us both, and we look forward to see the angels from WBBR at the Petnership Expo at the end of the month!

Cheers,
Linda & Carley

Rudy with new sister Kailey - lots of snuggles here!




Thanks Sheri.

I attached a few photos of Rudy at 11-12 wks old. They were taken on my phone so I apologize some of them are a bit blurry. He's been doing really well, getting along great with our dog Kailey, she's finally started wrestling/boxing with him and letting him touch her while he sleeps lol. I didn't think he'd put on that much weight in the last couple weeks but when I went to put his collar on 2 days ago I had to make it over an inch wider than when we first got him! He's had his second set of shots and no reaction so far like he had with his first set. I'll keep you posted on any new developments!

An Update on our Sweet Timid Millie





I won the Puppy Lotto

I don’t remember much before I was rescued by boxer rescue in LA. I think I was about 8 months old, I know I was very scared and always shaking in fear and very scared, running with a pack and as I was lowest in the pecking order only had a few scraps to eat each day and sometimes nothing. It was not a good life, but I did my best to survive. I do remember injuring my paw.

When Boxer Rescue took me I was put in a large crate and there were many dogs there. I did get food each day and was taken out by the volunteers. As I was not used to people I would hide in the back of the crate and shake although they did their best to make me feel loved and cared for they only have a limited amount of time. No one wanted to adopt me as I did not look like a real boxer, even if I felt like one. I was very small, undershot jaw and still had my original tail. The fact that I was always frightened and shaking did not encourage anyone to take me.

Then one day the lady from Vancouver, Canada that finds homes for dogs came down to take some dogs back to Canada and went by my crate. Although I was not scheduled to be taken to Canada she felt sorry for me and was sure she would find me a home and the next thing I knew I was in a plane, in the crate on my way to Vancouver. It was very scary for me.

When I arrived I was taken by one of the dog trainers from Sit Happens Dog Training to her home with her 2 dogs as she had volunteered to work with me to make me “adoptable”. She was so patient and kind to me and after a few weeks I felt safe and cared for and I could now act like a real dog. Although I still felt scared she took me for walks every day, gave me food and treated me like her own dogs.

Then one day at the park another lady and her husband came to take me, they had agreed to adopt me and took me home with them. Again I was scared as I just go used to the other home. When I arrived at their home I was greeted by their 7 year old boxer (Emma) and immediately she thought I was a baby they brought home for her. Worked for me. She licked me all over and within a day I realized that she was my new Mom and that I was safe.

It took some time for me to get used to everything, but my owners were very patient and kind with me and my new Mom gave me all her toys and food and is always by my side. Since I have been here I have put on 22 lbs. and am starting to look like a real boxer. I am also allowed to bark.

I am now a very happy dog, I know I have a forever home, a boxer bodyguard and even thought I have chewed a few things, and had a couple of accidents (not my fault) my owners take it in their stride and continue to work with me. I am so lucky and happy. Every day I go for a walk, get lots to eat and play with my bodyguard. Life is good.

I know that I would not be in my forever home without the kindness and dedication of the volunteers and Boxer Rescue and I thank everyone for taking the time to care for a little homeless puppy.

So you see I did win the puppy lotto.
