Looking For Foster Angels

Cookie sent us an update to post. She's so happy she wants everyone to be Foster Angels so lots of Boxers can be saved. If you are in South West Florida and might be interested in fostering check out the Boxer Rescue Angels of Florida website.

Cookie here! This week was more fun adventures for me. I now get in the car on my own. I had a playdate with another girl boxer. She was young and so much fun to play with. I would LOVE to be in a home with another dog. Any dog will do as long as they are laid back. My foster fur brother doesn’t like to play much but he lets me lay right next to him and I like to paw his face and give him kisses in the morning to wake him up because I love him.

My favorite thing to do is go on walks. Sometimes when we first go out I will lay down on the grass and you may think I don’t want to go anywhere but then I start rolling around because I am just so excited. I am great on the leash. I don’t pull. I like meeting new  humans on my walks but I like meeting dogs even more. I am just so friendly and everyone says how cute I am.

You KNOW you want to be a Foster Angel.

Paint me like one of your French girls...

Sadly, since I received this update Cookie's fur foster brother has passed away. While he wasn't a BRAF dog he was the foster brother to our first rescue and deserves to be recognized for the great job he did teaching Cookie that the world was a good place to be. Run free Tamaki, you will be missed.

C is for Cookie

Cookie the Boxer that is. Cookie is Boxer One for the rescue I blogged about the other day, Boxer Rescue Angels of Florida.

Cookie, an 18 month old Brindle girlie, was found as a stray in Miami and when a volunteer went to pick her up it was noticed that ticks were falling off of her. At her first vet appointment they counted more than 150 ticks! Sadly Cookie was diagnosed with Anaplasmosis, a tick-borne disease, as well as testing heartworm-positive.

On a happier note Cookie is doing very well in her foster home. She loves her foster brother, and apparently cookies. She's being treated for the Anaplamosis and will be re-evaluated at the end of July to see if she's ready to start heartworm treatment. This treatment is very expensive and as BRAF is a new rescue they would appreciate any donations to Cookie's You Caring fundraiser to help offset that cost.

I told one of my friends who is a volunteer with BRAF that if they were hoping for a face for their new rescue they couldn't have asked for a prettier one than Cookie. I hope you enjoy her photos.

Pretty girl.

Cookies for Cookie.

Just look at that face

Go Girl and The Angels

I've been helping out a new rescue group lately, Boxer Rescue Angels of Florida. In fact if you would like to help them out too please click here to drop by their Facebook page so you can like and share it. They had their first event recently where they set up their info booth at an event put on by Go Girl Cycling.

A friend of mine who is an avid cyclist and Boxer mama sent me some photos. Added bonus, if you recall Hannibal's story, she's his mama and these first couple of photos are typical Hanni.

The rest of these photos were taken by my friend with her helmet camera and I just love the perspective. It was so kind of her to share them with me, and all of you.
