More Breeder Neglect - Feb/March 2002  

Believe it or not, we now have a second case of breeder neglect in New Jersey. This case involves a total of 17 dogs, 13 of which we have taken into rescue.  The remaining 4 are still owned by the breeder.  We believe the owner has intentions of breeding again, as she will not agree to spay or neuter any of her remaining dogs. 

The breeder was forced to remove the dogs from their property or turn them over to animal control. The breeder brought the dogs to a kennel where they have spent the past 7 months of their lives.  The 4 remaining dog are still being housed at the kennel. They were all very thin and medically untreated until they were finally released to our rescue and are now on their way to a better life.   We have had all of the dogs examined and treated by our veterinarians. Many needed extensive treatment.  Of the 13 dogs, 4 were taken by another rescue (thanks Penny and Sue), 2 are pending adoption from Northeastern Boxer Rescue (Red and Heidi), 4 are fostered in Vermont (RC, Petunia, Amelia 1, and Maggie), 2 are fostered in Pennsylvania (Schnitzel and Amelia 2) and the remaining one is still at the vet's office for lack of a foster home and further medical care (Edelweiss).  The staff at the vet's office said she could not be sweeter!  We will keep you posted as we learn more about the dogs. 

All of these dogs have proven to be more than just survivors, but the most lovable dogs imaginable.  Please see their pictures and their descriptions on our available dogs page and consider taking one of these beautiful boxers into your home.  If you are unable to foster or adopt, we greatly appreciate any monetary donation that will be put directly toward the treatment and vet bills of these dogs.
