Happy Tails 2010
Tessa
ABR is thrilled to report that Tessa has found the perfect forever home! You will remember how Tessa suffered from multiple infections and infestations, heartworms, and an ear infection requiring specialized surgery. Over several months she was nursed back to health by her foster mom, and finally her health issues were resolved and she was ready be adopted. While Tessa was struggling with her health issues, a very special lady was searching for the perfect companion. Tessa's adopter lost her 10-year old boxer last fall and did not think she could ever love again. Her friends knew if she didn't find another companion that her life would just not be full or happy so they pushed her to search for another boxer. When she saw Tessa on the ABR website it was love at first sight. Tessa has found her forever home with this wonderful lady who does not leave home without Tessa by her side (except to go to church - and she is having a talk with her pastor about a dog friendly service). The two take daily walks and trips around town comforting friends, entertaining neighbors and playing with new fur friends. The love that Tessa and her new mom share is inspiring. This is why ABR exists. We rescue dogs who in turn rescue people.
Scout
Scout was adopted by a phenomenal family and now has two skin brothers. His forever family says “It's like he's always been here. He's going everywhere with us. Tripp and Taylor adore him…We just love him!!”
Kamma
Kamma went to her forever home on June 19th. She was greeted with smiles from her new family and her new fur brother, Ollie. She also will be accompanied by two skin siblings. It was a joy to see Kamma jump right in the family SUV and started giving the skin siblings kisses. She will be in a home where she will be loved more than words can say.
Rocky
Rocky found his forever home on May 22 and this boy struck it rich! He now has a loving family to care for him, as well as a younger foster fur sister to romp around in the yard with! Rocky and his new sister Abby were instant friends and we could not be more thrilled for him!
Cooper
Cooper has gone to his new home with his new fur brother Elliott! Elliott was also an ABR rescue dog in 2009 and he has been waiting oh so patiently for the right brother or sister to come along, so these two will have a lot to talk about over their shared doggie beds!
Ace
A wonderful man came to meet Ace. Ace was initially very protective of "his" foster house and not so nice towards him. Ace's new owner was very patient with Ace. They took a walk and came back best of buds. Ace has quickly adjusted to his new forever home and is doing great. We wish him a long, happy life in his forever home!
Nolan
After a stint in animal control and surgery for a bad leg, Nolan found himself a forever home where he can be a spoiled pooch all day long! Even with his rough start Nolan proved to be a trooper and is going to make his new Mommy very proud.
Ellie
Ellie is a welcome addition to our family. She gets along very well with our kids, Max and Julia, and has become a good younger sister to our Boston Terrier, Charlie. She is very lovable and is happy when she is outside, goes on car rides and plays with all of us. Ellie is a bit of a midnight snacker so we need to be sure we keep our eyes on her. She is our 50 pound lap dog. We are so happy to have her.
Memphis
ABR is so happy to say that this sweet, special boy has found his forever home! After coming to us through animal control we couldn't be happier that he now has found his place! Right from the start his foster family could tell he was something special. Memphis captivated the first family he met! He now has two skin brothers and even a feline friend! His new family has reported that he has settled in beautifully and they couldn't be happier!
Nova
So much to say about our sweet Casanova! Nova came to us through Animal Control. As soon as his foster mother laid eyes on him she knew he was special! He very quickly earned the name Casanova for being such a lover! Nova met his new family and they were instantly taken with him! It didn't take them long to see what the rest of us already knew! We recently recieved an update from the family saying that Nova has settled in perfectly! We couldn't be happier that this deserving dog found such a special home!
Rusty
Rusty was introduced to one of our foster homes’ sister’s family yesterday. He did great with the kids and cats. They loved him. Flash forward…They have now had him for 3 months. He is an integral part of their family. He goes for lots of car rides, follows his mom all over the house, gets walks and runs with his dad, and lots of help and training from his skin siblings. Yeah for Rusty!
Jack
What a match made in heaven! You see, Jack (now lovingly nicknamed "Jack the Sparrow" by his newly adoptive family), seemed to have chose his new family for himself. It appeared to be a match made in heaven from the first moment. Jack found himself instantly in love with his new Dad, continuously demanding to shake hands and showering him with kisses. He tried his best to win them over and did so, catching his new Mom and Dad off guard and falling head-over-heels in love. We are thrilled for Jack as he has hit the JACKpot with his new forever family!
Boss
Our gentle giant Boss, found his forever home on March 30th. ABR picked up Boss after he was rescued from a backyard chained outside in a yard. The chain was thick enough to pull a tractor. When Boss met his skin brothers it was love at first sight! Kisses were plentiful! He was very excited about going to his new home and he had no problem jumping in the back of his new family's SUV. We are so happy Boss found his forever home where he no longer will be living outside on a chain and will have enough love to last his lifetime!
Rocket
Rocket has found his forever home. From the moment they met Rocket, his mom and dad knew he was the one. He and "Coco" Chanel (his new fur sister) hit it off immediately. They played non-stop for an hour. Rocket and Coco will keep each other busy for a long time to come. Welcome home, Rocket!
Addy
Hurray for Miss Addy! After too much bouncing around in her short life, our sweet mama, Addy, has found her forever home! Addy was welcomed into her new home with toys, treats, a new bed, and everything a dog could want! Her new mommy was so gentle and loving and Miss Addy just ate that up! After meeting her new dad and getting some treats Addy showed that she was ready to play! Considering the heartbreaking start for this girl we couldn't be happier that this sweet girl has found a truly perfect forever home!
Ozzie
Ozzie's days of wondering if he would ever have a loving forever family are over! Congratulations to our sweet boy - he now has the carefree and comforting family life he has longed for!
Judge
Judge has gone to his forever home and he was so happy with his new family he just couldn't stop wiggling when they came to meet him. The boys were great with him and will definitely give him more love than he can handle. He has an awesome new Falcons collar and leash to show off and the boys play baseball so he'll get to go with them to the ball field and meet their friends.
Emmitt
Emmitt is one lucky dog! He has a new family with a retired mom and dad who are able to spend lots of time with him. Emmitt's new fur sister, Arcee doesn't mind sharing their sweet set-up. They have a cushy dog bed front and center in the family room. Emmitt's new family lives on a farm with loads of room to run and play. (Even a few bovine friends to meet!) According to Emmitt's new mom, their new four-legged family member "acts as if he has always been here." He even has grandchildren to play with. This sweet boy, who once suffered from separation anxiety now has a loving family who is able to work with Emmitt to keep his tail happy!
Harley
Harley went to his forever home on March 13th. Harley came in with his bud Spanky along with three other strays wandering the streets. It was hard to believe Harley was homeless as handsome as he is. Harley is in a very loving home with his moms and three fur siblings. He has a large back yard to play in and he is going to be very happy! We could not ask for a better home for this handsome boy!
Otis
We couldn't be happier that Otis found his forever home. He will be an only child and he is loving every minute of it. Otis absolutely adores his new mom and dad and has his own papasan chair where he can look out the window. Otis's new mom says she loves when she comes home from work because he greets her at the door and is so happy to see her. He also loves to snuggle in bed. We couldn't ask for a better home!
Spanky
Spanky, now Elvis, is living it up at his forever home! His new owners say it's like he's always been there. Elvis now has two doggie siblings to play with, as well as two skin sisters...life is good. According to the family, Elvis has become somewhat of a poster child for ABR in his new community and is enjoying his newfound celebrity status.
Kimbo
Kimbo who found his forever home, absolutely adores his new skin brothers and could not stay still long enough to take a picture because he wanted to keep giving them kisses! They were so excited and even had a name tag ready to go with his name on it! A follow up call came the next morning from his new mom saying how great he was doing with everything and all the adjustments, and how much her boys can't stop loving on him!!! Kimbo is very happy in his new home and will be recieving lots of love and attention.
Petey
Petey, now called Jaeger, came to ABR with the deepest cuts we have ever seen around his neck and body. He was picked up by ABR and taken immediately to Paces Ferry Animal Clinic where Dr. Whittle stitched him up and took a BB out of his leg. We are not sure what happened to this poor boy, but he has found his forever home. His new mom fell in love with him the minute she saw him. He will be going to a home where he will have fur siblings to play with and more love than you could imagine. We are so thankful he found his forever home and thankful for Paces Ferry Animal Clinic.
Bandit
Bandit, the adorable pooch that stole everyones heart, went to his forever home where he now spends his days hanging out with his new buddy and romping in the yard, and then when they're a little tired, they curl up on the dog bed together and dream of their next play date. We're happy for Bandit and his new family - a match made in doggie heaven.
Rosie
Hi ABR Family! My ABR name has been Rosie but my foster parents have officially changed it to Maci - that's because they are adopting me! You see, Dr. Cary removed a fast-growing cancerous tumor from my side so the good folks at ABR are going to let me live out my life with my foster family. My new family consists of my sister, Mini (an ABR rescue), Rudi, my Boston Terrior brother (also a rescue), Chavez, my cat (a rescue that thinks he is a dog) and my FAVORITE sibling - a 5-yr old girl. Don't be sad for me because I am with a family that LOVES me and I am getting along fine. I love to eat, sleep, and play outside. In the recent snow I made my Mom laugh out loud because I would jump high enough to bust up a snowball with my nose! The louder she laughed, the higher I jumped! My Mom says she will keep yall posted on me - right now I'm happy because I'm full and warm all snuggled on the couch while my Mom types. I'm one of the lucky Boxers who actually made it out of animal control. Love, Maci.
Molly
Miss Molly went to her forever home in February! Her family just knew she was the "one" from the very moment they saw her picture on the ABR website! Molly has someone to be with her all the time, which is what she loves, and a skin brother who simply adores her. She sleeps with him every night and she knows she is safe and loved. Molly lets her skin brother know it with doggy kisses all the time! Life is looking great for Molly!
Greta
Greta - now named Abby, is now settling into her foster home, where she has made claim to the loveseat as her favorite place to sleep. This girl has bought much joy into the lives of her family after the loss of their boxer last year. We are happy that this has been such a good fit all round.
Nellie
Nellie, the beautiful, sweet, loving, wiggle butt went to her forever home on February 18, 2010. Nellie travelled to McDonough to meet her new family. She was greeted by the mom and their 5 lb poodle, Cooper. Nellie and Cooper were quickly romping in a wonderful yard. Nellie even jumped down a ~4 ft retaining wall like it was a step. The mom quickly called her 10 year old daughter outside to meet Nellie. Nellie quickly thereafter rolled over for a good belly rub. When the Dad came home, they put on her new pink zebra & bone collar and leash to go for another walk. They are all thrilled to have Nellie join their family!
Jackson
It was love at first sight! Jackson found his forever home, where he will be king of the castle. This refined pup, that somehow ended up in animal control, will now be living in the lap of luxury with a stay at home Dad and a Mom who dotes on him. He's such a deserving dog. Yay for Jackson!
Duke
From Duke's new family:
Duke...now Macallan or a.k.a. "Mic" is doing great! What a sweet, gentle, loveable and handsome boy he is!! His fur brother Cabo has decided he's not so bad after all. They egg each other on to play, then nap, then play, eat, play and nap! His skin sister loves his boxer kisses. Mic has made our family whole again after the loss of Morgan to cancer a couple of months ago. We are so blessed to have him and we thank Atlanta Boxer Rescue and his foster parents for rescuing him.
Ryder
Ryder, the lovebug/drool monkey/wigglebutt extraordinaire, found his forever home on January 17. His new family had lost their two previous dogs -- a Boxer and Boxer mix -- to cancers not long ago and wanted to have that unending Boxer love back in their lives. Ryder met them and quickly settled into his usual companion routine with them, winning everyone over. He also gained a new little brother, a French Bulldog puppy named Rocco with whom he loves to romp and box, with all the gentleness of a loving big brother. Happy tails to Ryder, lil' Rocco and their parents!
Maddie
We are so happy to say that Maddie found her forever home on January 16th! This sweet and very well-mannered lady was welcomed with open arms into her new home! As soon as she arrived she was met at the car by a very excited new mommy! After a quick walk, she went in to meet her skin sister! Everything went wonderfully! Her new mommy couldn't stop smiling as she watched Maddie explore her new home! Maddie then stretched out on the carpet and made herself right at home as her mommy signed paperwork! We at ABR feel like this sweet older lady truly has found her perfect forever home! Though she will be missed, we couldn't be happier for her!
