Adopt a Boxer Rescue - Chase
Donation protected
As many of you know, animal rescue is one of my big passions in life. Recently, I had the pleasure of fostering a 6 year old male boxer named Chase. I was not planning on fostering him, and had donated to 'Name a Dog' to support Adopt a Boxer Rescue in honor of my boxer Chase's one year passing. Coincidentally, I ended up with him after he proved too strong for his first foster home - one year to the day of Chase's passing.
New Chase (Brock as I was calling him) is a sweet, wiggly, loving, kind boxer who has fear based aggression issues with other animals.
He was clearly kept outside, you can see from the pressure sores and hair loss on his elbows/legs. He has scars all over his face and legs. I fostered him for 6 weeks and ended up having to bring him to MA because the city was too chaotic for him with all the other dogs running around. It was then that I saw a truly calm amazing dog that was just learning to play with toys. (I don't get money to do this, everything comes out of my pocket).
This past Sunday, I drove 8 hours total to drop him off at his adoptive home which sounded phenomenal on 30 acres without any other dogs and boxer experience. I wanted to ensure a smooth transition so I brought him there, made sure he saw me interacting with his adoptive family and snuck out the door quietly. Within 5 hours they said they would give him a week, and after 24 hours they asked for him to be out ASAP citing issues with other animals like a raccoon outside. Needless to say, I feel like I've failed him and I feel defeated. We have no place to put him, I can't take him back as much as my heart bleeds for him and wants to. We are being forced to kennel him which is driving a dagger in my heart. There are so many causes to donate to, we all know it. But those of you who support my rescue efforts, I'm asking your help to donate whatever you can so I can finish my mission to help save this one special dog. He desparately needs training (and an e-collar) so he can be adopted and his kennel cost is $35/day.
All of this because some breeder or pet store somewhere sold a dog to a home that didn't care to even leave a note when they dumped him at Manhattan Animal Care & Control , a high-intake kill shelter.
A little bit goes a long way, and thank you.
