Greta

Hi potential parent, my name is Greta and I came to ABR when my owner surrendered me during the Christmas holidays. I was kept on a chain and not given the medical attention or love I deserved. Since then the people at ABR have helped me trade a junk yard lifestyle for the lap of luxury. I now spend my days cuddled up with my foster Mom and sharing toys and antler chews with my fur brother. Although I could use a few manners and socializing skills my foster Mom says she is surprised at how sweet I am and can’t believe someone would leave me chained up outside! I’m coming along nicely with my house training and will be ready for my forever home very soon. I have no problem staying in my crate while you’re at work during the day and after some playtime and cuddling I’m more than happy to go back in and sleep for the night. I enjoy going for car rides and as soon as I’ve completed my heartworm treatment I’ll get to go on walks and trips to the dog park for socializing. If you’d like to share your home with a very loyal, loving and sweet little girl then please ask for Greta.

Jane

Jane is one pretty petite Brindle girl (about 50 pounds). She was picked up from the shelter on Friday the 13th, (lucky for her) and has been blossoming into her full personality day by day. She is between 1 and 2 years old, is house broken, knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. She is good with other dogs, and is friendly with adults and children, however she is like lightning when she runs in the yard so small children would need supervision. She has not barked much since she has been in her foster home but that may change as she settles into her forever home. A little skinny at first, Jane is gaining weight with every tasty meal. For a sweet treat, put Jane on your application.

Trinity

Hi my name is Trinity. I am a six-month-old light fawn boxer who has the softest fur you have ever felt. I was wondering the streets the day after Christmas, when I was found and taken to the pound. ABR came to the rescue…. I now have two fur brothers and a fur sister, so that means that I get along with other dogs. I love to play ball, my favorite thing to do is run and I do like to play with kids. We are still working with the “I want my treat now attuide”, but I am doing much better. I know now that no matter what I will still get my treat. By the way I have been micro-chipped and spayed.

I walk well on a leash and I am potty trained. Also, if you have to leave me for a little while I will be ok in the crate. Just leave me my Kong, with a treat in it. I love to sleep in the bed with my family at night, but I will sleep on a dog pillow as long as you are near. My eyes will melt you heart; they have already done so for my foster family. They spoil me just a little. So if would like to meet me, mention Trinity in your application.

Murphy

Hi, my name is Murphy! I'm a brown boxer with black and white toes. My foster mom says I'm a frisky, silly boy, and I'd have to agree! I'm a fun pup who loves to play with the other dog in my foster home. I do get a little territorial with my toys and food, so I would probably do best as an only dog where I can get all the attention! I've been around those little 2-legged things you call kids, and I don't mind them at all. They can be kinda fun! I'm crate trained, and am still learning things like sit & stay. I can be a little unsure at times (my foster mom says I'm scared of something called a shadow?), but I do fine with a little encouragement and reassurance. If you rub my head and tell me everything will be ok, I'll believe you! With time and love, I hope to adjust and not be scared so easily. If you think you could be the right family to help me out of my shell, please mention "Murphy" on your application!

Hunter

I'm Hunter! When I came to ABR, I was only 42 lbs. and all skin and bones. I have since "fattened" up to a strong and trim 59 lbs. I get along well with my fur sister and human children but my favorite thing in the world is to play! I loooooovvve to fetch and play with all sorts of balls and will do that endlessly if you want. Tennis, soccer, I love them all. I have wonderful manners so I can stay alone outside of a crate (I actually do not prefer my crate but will hang out in there as long as I can see you and of course, if I have a ball with me.) He has been left alone for up to 9 hours while his foster is at work and he does fine. I walk very well on a leash and will stay right by your side off of one as well on walks - I don't pull at all. I can sit, and lay down, and I stay - whatever you ask. I am a very mellow dog who doesn't even jump on the bed but I do love cuddling next to my humans on the couch while they watch TV. If you would like a sweet, polite, gentleman in your home, please mention Hunter on your application.

Grandma

Look at this sweet face! This is Grandma...she was found as a stray and taken to animal control where she was not reclaimed and was bought into rescue. This sweet thing is looking for her forever home where she can retire to a nice comfy doggie bed. She does have arthritis so a single story home would definitely be ideal for her. She is a very kind, gentle dog who gets along with other dogs and enjoys going for car rides. She did test a low positive for heartworms and is being treated with Heartgard due to her age. If anyone can give sweet Grandma a place to lay her head at night...put her name on your application today. This sweet old lady is very deserving of a home of her own to live out her golden years.

Dempsey

Dempsey is a three year old white male with a great personality. He was surrendered by his owner to animal control for unknown reasons. He is house trained and crate trained. It seems that he may have some very minor hearing loss. He doesn't hear higher pitched sounds, but does respond to most voice commands. He loves playing with other dogs and ignores cats. (He has even gotten along with the bully cat in his foster home!) If you are looking for an easy going dog with a loving personality, please ask about Dempsey.

Godiva

I'm a small little brindle with lots of love to give to a family with kids who will love me. I love to play with kids and maybe even a fur brother and sister I can run around a yard with. I have the prettiest black mask you have ever seen and a really long tongue to give you kisses. Snuggling on the couch is one of my favorite things to do. I also love to run and play outside. I am housebroken and learning new commands every day. I don't know anything about cats but would try to be their friend. I am a good eater but still need to gain some more weight as my previous owners didn't feed me very well. I hope you would give me a chance to share my love and playful nature with you and your family.

Gigi

Hi, I'm a tall, gangly, fawn female who loves to run and play in the yard. I'm housebroken, a little shy as I now live with 3 other sisters and a brother. Although I really love them, I think I would like a home to myself. I love to snuggle ,nap and take walks. I am a good eater and quick to learn commands. Please come and see me as I would love to be your forever friend.

Merlin

Hi, my name is Merlin! Life before ABR was pretty tough for me. I had a bad case of demodex mange, and I was super skinny to the point that I couldn’t stand up straight. But since being in my foster home, I’ve put on lots of weight, and have become a super happy boy! My hair is even starting to grow back! Now, I just love to hang out in my foster home & play with stuffed toys. My favorite games are tug o' war and keep-away, which I play with my foster fur brother and sister. Oh, I forgot to mention that I’m also deaf. So it helps to have hearing dogs around that can play with me, help me learn and alert me to the important stuff – like when the mailman is here! My foster mom is teaching me some sign language, so I can better understand commands just like the hearing dogs. I’ve already learned some basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘come.’ My favorite sign is ‘good boy’ – that means I get a treat! My foster mom thinks I’m pretty smart, and I’d have to agree! Here is a link that she used to help in training deaf dogs like me: http://www.deafdogs.org/training. I may take a little extra time and patience to train, but I’m really worth it! If you think you could find a place in your heart and home for me, please don't forget to mention ‘Merlin’ on your application.

Sawyer

Hi there, my name is Sawyer. I am a SUPER sweet and VERY lovable 1 year old male. I did spend some time in my local shelter until the nice people at ABR found me, rescued me and decided to help me, which has led me to where I am today. I am in a real cool foster home, where the humans are showing much love and care and getting me ready to possibly join you in my forever home. My foster home has introduced me to an amazing set of foster parents who have learned that I know all the basic commands any dog should know, they even found out I was HOUSE TRAINED!!! But they are also working with me to learn some other really cool things! I have a fur sister that I get along great with! They also have this really neat looking little human, I know I am suppose to be gentle and sweet around him, and I have proven that I am amazing around this little human, which makes us all happy here! I do NOT like being in my crate, I try to chew out so I would do best in a home where somebody will be home most of the time or can take me for rides in the car. I would love a home with somebody that will help me learn, let me play, and love me for the rest of my life! I have a crooked jaw that makes my tongue stick out most of the time but my foster family says it’s cute, and don’t let that stand in the way of bringing me home! If you think I would fit in your family please mention me, Sawyer, on your application

Faith

Faith came into ABR as a bag of bones. But her faith in human kindness never wavered. Aptly named, this sweet girl always has a tail-wag for the ABR volunteers and the good people at Dogma Dog Care who are helping nurse Faith back to health. She is now at a healthy weight and at the end of her heartworm treatment. (For a more detailed information about Faith, visit her on our Infirmary Page). Faith loves her human company. She literally smiles at all the volunteers who come to visit her. She likes going out in the yard and soaking up the sun. She loves playing with her stuffed toys. The only thing that she seems not to like is other dogs. So if you are looking for a special dog to shower with love and receive unconditional love in return, please mention Faith. She would love to have a human to call her own for the upcoming holidays.

Gidget

Gidget is as sweet and cute as boxers come. She is great with the two boxers with whom she resides (one is male and one is female). She loves to romp with them. She is protective of her family and her home. She will growl or bark if she thinks someone is a stranger. Once she knows they are ok, she is her sweet self. She is somewhat protective of her food and will growl if other dogs come near. She is fine if her food is in a separate spot for eating. She is a Velcro boxer who would thrive in a home with someone who is home during the day. She is great with kids that are used to having a dog. She is house trained and has not had an accident. She has not been in a crate. If you are looking for an adorable female, mention GIDGET!!!!

Ripken

Hi, I'm Ripken, they call me Rip for short. I came to ABR after I ended up at the shelter. Not sure what I did to make it there because I'm a loving, calm, trained dog that loves people. Because I'm an older dog you can say that the crazy boxer stage of my life has come and gone. I enjoy lying around and watching TV and being as close to my foster mom as possible. I love people so much, I'd rather not share them with other dogs. I still have a little way to go before I'm 100% healthy, but I will get there soon enough. So if you would like to welcome a handsome, calm boxer into your home as your only pet, I'm the guy for you!

Pete

Hi, my name is Pete. I am a sweet, calm brindle boy that loves people! I am not sure how I lost my family but I ended up in a shelter. Not sure why they call it a shelter. Seems more like an exposure to me. Anyway, the folks at the shelter found out I had heartworms so I could only go to a rescue group. Thank goodness the good folks at ABR took me in and treated me for those worms! I feel much better now! I love to run and I am discovering those things in the basket called toys! I love to chew chew chew on them! My foster mom says I just like to get them all slobbery. I am not sure what she means? My fur sister loves to chase them around - I dont know what she finds so fascinating about that but I like to chase her chasing them. I am a lap puppy...with a lot of puppy! I need some work on my manners, and my foster mom says we will work on those! I think I am a lapdog. Is that a breed? if it is, I am one! I don't ask permission, I just dive into the first lap I can find! My foster mom does not have any cats or small people so she doesn’t know what I think of them. I love going on walks with my mom! She says I am an a moving obstacle course but she thinks it's cute the way I try to carry my leash when we are running. If you are looking to add another dog to your pack and want a very sweet cuddly guy, please put Pete on your application!

Lady

Hi everyone! My name is Lady. I was surrendered, along with my 2 boxer friends, to animal control by our previous owner. I have no idea how anyone could stand parting with our sweet faces. Lucky for us we were all rescued by the awesome people at ABR!!! They took us straight to the vet to get checked out and to get all of our shots! My foster mom told me that I tested positive for heartworms. I have no clue what those are but she promises that I am going to get all fixed up and never have to worry with them again. Sounds good to me! My foster mom also says that I’m a little on the skinny side right now, but that we are going to work on that! (Maybe that means more cookies!!!) Have I mentioned that I LOVE cuddling… Yep! That is pretty much my favorite thing to do. Overall I am a pretty calm girl, but I think that I would like living in a house were I could have my mom and dad all to myself. I don't always enjoying sharing my foster mom - I want all the attention 24/7! I love following my foster mom around the house wherever she goes. I am not a fan of going into my crate but once I get in I don’t mind. I am house trained oh and I love carrying around my toys EVERYWHERE I go. My foster mom laughs and laughs at me 'cause I don’t even put them down when I go outside to potty. If you would like to be loved by me then I know that I would LOVE to be loved by you. Please mention Lady on your application if you I'm your girl.

Bruno

Bruno is a sweet boy with a great disposition with other dogs and people. He also is good with kids, but would probably do best with older ones because he is so big and gets excited and could knock the little ones over. He loves to go on walks and does well on a leash. He also is great with the crate. bruno, has an amazing amount of energy for his age and loves loves loves to go on long walks. He does have an underactive thyroid which is easily treated with a medication that is taken 2 times a day. He also has all his AKC papers. He would make a great addition to any family and is very deserving of a loving home!

Reuben

Hi, my name is Reuben. I was picked up as a stray by animal control after apparently being abandoned by my previous owners. It made me sad that most people thought I wasn't worth saving due to a really bad-looking growth on my eye. But the nice people from ABR could see beyond that and rescued me just in the nick of time - whew! Not only do I have the eye issue, but the doctor said I also have heartworms and kennel cough. But on the bright side, although very expensive, these issues will be treated and I will be good as new! If it were not for donations from our generous donors, I guess my life might have been over by now. I'm settling in nicely with my new foster family - they are always giving me these things I'm not used to called kisses, but I'm finding out I really like them. My foster mom says I'm really sweet, handsome, mellow and quiet, and coming along quite nicely with my housebreaking. Even though I have blended well with my fur brothers and sister, my foster mom thinks I will do best to be the only dog in my new family. My foster family smile at me a lot because I love to lean against their legs whenever I'm close to them and be their shadow around the house. I don't pull at all on the leash and don't mind going in the crate one bit. The one thing I really want is a loving forever family to call my own. If you think yours could be that family, please mention me, Reuben, on your application.

Donate to help Reuben!

Belmont

My name is Belmont and I am 5 years young. My foster mom says I am the perfect gentleman. When she came to pick me up from the vet I was so excited to see her and my skin sister, that I paid no attention to the other dogs that were there. I love to ride in the car and put my face out the window...something about that wind in my hair...I love it! Being inside the house is awesome...let me tell it there is nothing better then a full belly and a good movie. My foster mom tells me all the time how sweet I am and that she is impressed with how I just love everything and everyone. She also said that whoever adopts me is one lucky family. If your interested in me please be sure to put my name on your application.
