Sadie is a Name A Boxer dog!
Thank you Kelske Family for naming Sadie.

We had our boxer Sadie for 10 years 9 months and she passed away October 2005 from cancer. We loved her very much and she was a member of our family. We will always remember her and how she touched our lives. We wish to name a rescued boxer in honor of her and in the hope that her memory lives on.

"Hello Northeastern Boxer Rescue,

Recently it was our 1 year anniversary with our little lovebug "Ginger". I thought you might be interested in seeing the festivities ....

Since we do not know know Ginger's true birthdate, obviously the celebrating will always take place on Adoption Day.

We had a little birthday party . . .
We got a cake, cupcakes, and a cannoli (all doggie kind,of course)
We got her a princess crown, with the hopes of getting at least one picture out of her, but she DID NOT like the idea whatsoever, so that idea went right out the door . . .
My husband & I did enjoy our party hats, however . . .
We lit the candle, and sang (seriously - we're so out of control .... LOL)
Ginger sampled a mini doggie cupcake ...
And later on got to try some doggie birthday cake . . .
And she got some cool gifts ... a pink doggie that barks, a squeaky princess crown, and a pink ball that comes with the birthday cake ...

... Ginger is truly a gift. She came into our lives during a time when we needed our spirits lifted, and got the job done. After the heartbreaking loss of our other boxer Amber, Ginger gave me a reason to WANT to return home again ever day. She is a complete sweetheart, with so much love in her heart. Loves her toys (literally has 3 toyboxes/baskets) .... loves attention, loves to be loved, and overall, loves life. She is extremely vocal, which is clearly misleading to people who do not understand her, but we get such a kick out of it .... Ginger is such a comedian ....she wants to express so much.

So, thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts, not only for the cuddly gift you sent our way, but for ALL that you do for all of the dogs. I will forever be grateful to NBR.

Lisa Schillari (and Ginger's Daddy, Grandpa & Grandma too ... xo)"

Looking For A Family Who Will Love Sadie Forever

Sadie was surrendered to a shelter because her family was moving and said they could not take her with them. Shortly after arriving at the shelter, Sadie was adopted to a couple with a very young child. The couple returned her to the shelter because they said the little girl was playing too rough with Sadie, approaching her from behind and pulling on her tail. Obviously this is inappropriate behavior to allow a child to do. Understandably, Sadie growled.

The shelter called and asked if we had an open foster home so Sadie could enter our rescue program. Sadie was lucky, and we were able to pick her up from the shelter the next day. The shelter staff stressed what a sweet girl Sadie was and we agree.

Below is the first report from Sadie’s foster mom:

“Sadie was a bit anxious when I met her at the shelter but she seemed to take the whole thing in stride. Probably just glad to be leaving the kennel life behind. At first, she pulled hard on the leash; once home and feeling more settled she is better on the leash already. She does need some leash manners and I will work with her on that.

She looks to be in good health and is very active and attentive. She did seem to be very hungry and it appears she can stand to gain a few pounds. I can see all her ribs. She is very friendly. She was not happy when I left her today for work. I stayed home until 10:30 to spend some quality time with her.

Sadie makes the boxer “woo woo” sound when she is trying to tell you it is time to go outside. She seems to be completely potty trained and there have been no accidents so far.

I gave her a few toys last night and she was so excited that I got some boxer wiggles out of her. She took her ball on the couch and kept laying it on the pillow so it would roll off and she could chase it. I finally convinced her that I was willing to toss it for her to play.

Sadie listens very well. She knows sit, come, and down.

We had a delivery this morning and Sadie barked when he came to the door but was very friendly and excited to have a visitor when he came in.

Sadie needs a family that is willing to commit the love to her that she is so willing to give.”
