Renee needs to have 3 tumors removed and also will require dental work, as her mouth is in really horrendous shape.
The estimate is $1000 and right now we have $0 of it.
To be honest, she seems to be an older dog that has lived a hard life. Maybe that is why she seems to be aged, and is just worn out. She could never stand up to going for long brisk walks, or to off leash dog parks where she may get jumped on by another dog. She's too frail for that. She seems to be that of an older dog than 7 years. Some of my Boxers at her age were in far better, younger shape than she is in. Maybe it's been her diet over the years, or even her genetics? Not sure why.

SUCCESS! RENEE'S GOAL WAS MET!!
Renee's breeder, Bracara Boxers have graciously chosen to pay for the entire cost of the surgery!
Calling all Boxer Angels:
From time-to-time one of our rescue's requires medical attention of one nature or another.
When this is the case, we turn to our "Boxer Angels" to lend a hand in paying for vet visits, surgery and/or medication. Usually this is on a per-case basis, but if you would like to donate some money to the Medical Fund so that it will be there WHEN the time comes, we would certainly appreciate that.
Hypothyroidism is a common problem in dogs, but rarely occurs in cats. The thyroid gland has a number of different functions, but it is most well known for its role in regulating metabolism. Hypothyroidism is the condition that occurs when not enough thyroid hormone is produced.
We'd like to thank everyone who made a donation towards Ty's medical fund.
All funds that were donated towards his medication have been used to help cover the cost of his diagnostic bill and cremation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This is Tutu. Tutu is too sweet for words and she desperately needs our help. We think she was hit by a car. She is only about 8 to 10 months old and deserves to live a full wonderful life.
She has a beautiful nature with people and dogs. She is a courageous little girl who is suffering and in pain but just wants to shower you with kisses and Boxer love.
Tutu's surgery is estimated to cost around $4,000. She has two horribly broken legs that have numerous breaks in different places and will need plates put in.
This girl will make a full recovery with patience and lots of love. Please consider a donation to help this young little girl find true happiness and to live pain free.
Update:
Tutu has receovered
and has been adopted.

Trooper is a wonderful boy, about 6 years old; quiet, mellow and extremely affectionate. He takes his medications with a grimace, but a look of appreciation that could make one cry.
Unfortunately, he had a rough puppyhood and has had some severe damage to his hips, pelvis, and back. More serious perhaps, he has sustained an injury in his past which broke a part of the vertebra off in his neck, (transverse process) it has separated, is floating and may need to be removed to reduce the risk of further complications.
In addition, Trooper has a severe inner ear infection from prolonged infections that were not treated in his past. Poor Trooper walks with his head cocked sideways to combat the pain. This may require surgery, to the tune of $3000 and several months of recovery.
He is currently in a foster home where he will stay for the surgery and throughout the recovery period. Trooper has many loving years left, so we would like to help him to live pain free.
Please help us help Trooper get this much needed surgery by donating what you can.
We thank you and Trooper thanks you also.
Update:
Trooper has been adopted by his foster home, and
is continuing his treatment and healing process.

Meet Malibu, one of the cutest 12 week old boxers you might ever meet. Malibu was dumped by her backyard breeder when she started limping and they did not wish to spend the money to deal with the issue. Malibu was diagnosed with Leg Perths Disease. It caused the
circulation of blood to be cut off to the head of her femur and it fell apart.
Surgery was performed to remove the splintered bone fragments and the remainder of the head. She will require extensive rehabilitation due to the injury and muscle wasting to that leg. Please help Malibu regain full use of her hind leg, she so deserves it.
Malibu's current vet bills are over $800 and climbing.
Bubba is as sweet as they come and that is what the staff of Squamish Animal Control thought when he arrived at the shelter as a stray.
They thought for sure this 9 yrs old senior would have an owner who would come through the door at any moment looking for him. As the days turned in to weeks though it became obvious that this boy had been abandoned. Bubba is fabulous with other dogs, great with cats and loves people and kids of all shapes and sizes, who couldn't love this boy.
While in the care of Animal Control he underwent surgery to be neutered, have a full dental and to repair a severe case of cherry eye. He was then transferred to Without Borders. Once in our care a blood tumor burst on his leg and he was rushed in to have it cared for and removed. The tumor was removed, along with a couple of other bumps and a broken canine.
Bubba's bills were over $500
Conroy is a high energy boxer. To meet this boy you would never guess he was 10 years old. He is so sweet and the kennel staff loved him! He arrived at a boarding kennel in January for a short stay, days, weeks and then months past and the kennel realized that this sweet boy
had been abandoned there.
The staff loved him and felt even at his age he deserved the chance at a wonderful new life and called Without Borders.
When Conroy entered our care he was taken to the vet for a full check over. He was neutered, had several overgrown nipples removed and a full dental including several teeth pulled. We agreed with the staff of the kennel, this is one special boy and even at 10 he deserves the chance to live as long and as healthy as possible.
Conroy's bill was over $400
Meet Snow White. She's an 8 month old boxer pup with demodex mange. This condition is treatable but all to many owners seem to feel that it's just easier to drop their dog at the pound then to treat it. Poor Snow White was left behind when she did nothing wrong. She will soon be starting treatment for demodex and secondary skin infections.
Her vet bills are estimated at over $300
Without Borders took in seven 5&1/2 week old mange puppies after their mom was treated for demodex mange and she could no longer nurse them.
Demodex mange is none contagious and very treatable but working with pups this young proves to have some serious side effects to treatment. They are all being treated for demodex and some for secondary skin infections. The care required to get these babies from where they are now to healthy and happy puppies ready for adoption is a long and expensive road. Please help!
We currently are up to about $300 per puppy (just over $2100 for all of them) in treatments and this does not cover the continued care, spay/neuters etc.
