Olive's Wish for AABR

Dear Friends, 

Olive here... 

Truth be told, we thought we were fundraising for a zillion new squeaks from the Smile truck, until Mother set us straight.  

We don't really dwell on our past or where we came from, because we have a great life, full of love, adventures, and munchkins.  But, before all of that, there was us, just praying and hoping to be saved. And then we were... by Adopt a Boxer Rescue.

Adopt a Boxer Rescue does amazing, thankless, endless work to rescue boxers and dogs who think they are boxers (Leonard).  From mill moms who are discarded after producing litter upon litter of puppies, to starving boxers found, dumped, on the side or rural roads, AABR is there to pick up the pieces of the broken souls.  They don't say no.  They don't look the other way. Their team of volunteers gets the job done.  

Rescue comes with a heavy cost.  Vet bills are never ending.  Spays, neuters, heartworm treatment, surgeries to repair the damage that neglect causes, medications, and boarding for dogs who have to wait for foster homes to open up.  The cost is unimaginable and the dogs keep coming. There is no catching up.  There is only trying not to drown. 

If you follow our page, you would know that our mom, our warden, our dunks mobile driver, has a heart for the rescue dogs.  Kobe, Sophie, Wrigley, Bauer, Murph, Franklin, Me, and Len... we were saved because someone cared.  We were given a chance to know love and feel compassion, because someone said we mattered.  Adopt a Boxer is the reason that you all get to see our pictures and videos everyday.  They brought us and Mother together... 

We are asking all of our followers to help us give back to the rescue that holds a special place in Mother's heart, so that they can continue to help other dogs just like us.  There are thousands of Bauers, Olives, and Lennys, out there, still waiting for their happily ever afters.  

I don't like to brag (yes I do)... But last year, we raised an epic amount of money for the rescue.  Like, I wanted to borrow some for my Smile truck orders and Mother said "absolutely not".  This year, I'm feeling like we can do more.  We can beat our goal and AABR can save 100 more Olives and maybe 1 Lenny because he's a terrorist.  

Me and Yen and B love to make you smile.  This is your chance to make us smile by giving back to the rescue who saved us.  No amount is too small. And please know, if you're not able to donate, there are other ways to help... foster, adopt, volunteer for a rescue or shelter near and dear to your heart.  

Let's put as much energy into raising money over the next 24 hours, as me and Yen put into running laps in the yard!
