🐾 Meet Lika! 💕

If you’re looking for a play-play-play-all-day kind of girl who will happily follow it up with a good cuddle, Lika might be your girl! 🥰

Lika is your typical fun-loving Boxer — goofy, playful, affectionate, and always ready to be part of whatever you’re doing. She loves people, is great with kids, and is an absolute snuggler when it’s time to settle down.

A few things to love about Lika:

🐾 Crate trained
🐾 Potty trained
🐾 Good with kids
🐾 Loves people
🐾 Walks well on a leash
🐾 Professional snuggler ❤️
🐾 Playful, energetic Boxer personality
🐾 Would love a fenced yard where she can run, play, and be her silly Boxer self!

Lika is the perfect combination of play hard + cuddle hard. She’s looking for a family who will give her plenty of love, playtime, and a safe place to call home. 🏡💕

She’s been such a joy as a foster, and we know her forever family is out there. ❤️

Could Lika be your girl? 🐶💕

❤️🐾 BELLA’S LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING! 🐾❤️

Bella is all Boxer — and she is loving every minute of finally getting to be one! 🥰

For the first 6 years of her life, Bella lived in a dark corner of a barn, being forced to breed. She knew very little of the world outside that corner.

Then one day, they came for her.

She was dirty, had long nails, and had spent years being neglected. But when Bella was brought into the light and discovered people, toys, other dogs and friends, something incredible happened…

She wiggled. ❤️

That Boxer spirit was still there. She just needed someone to give her a chance to shine.

Today, Bella is in a loving foster home outside of Pittsburgh, where she has a Boston Terrier friend and is learning just how wonderful life can be. 🐶🐶

Bella LOVES:
❤️ Toys
❤️ Playing with dogs
❤️ Playing with people
❤️ Being part of the action

This spry 6-year-old girl is ready for a family who will continue showing her all the good things she missed.

🏡 Bella’s ideal family will have:
🐾 A doggie friend
🌳 A fenced yard
❤️ A love of play and an appreciation for a happy, energetic Boxer girl!

After spending six years in the dark, Bella deserves a lifetime of sunshine.

Look at that face. She knows she’s finally safe. Now let’s find her forever home. ❤️

🌟🌟Talk about a glow up...🌟🌟

Not long ago, Baloo was stuffed into a filthy cage, and being sold on the side of the road for $10.00 to whoever came first.

Today, he can be spotted, strutting his stuff through Manhattan, with his foster mom by his side. We think it's pretty fitting that Baloo chose this location for his photo op 📸
Nothing like the Statue of Liberty as your backdrop, to remind you that freedom from a life of neglect and despair, feels pretty darn good.

Baloo's deets ...

🗽2 years old
🗽good with female dogs
🗽kids 10+
🗽crate trained
🗽expert level snuggler
🗽has had TWO failed cherry eye surgeries and is awaiting an appointment with an ophthalmologist with our rescue

Baloo is the sweetest, most goodest boy in all of Manhattan, and beyond. He certainly had a rough start, but that's all in his rearview mirror. Onward and upward for this Bulldog.

👉Do you want to be his forever home? If so, visit our website (linked in comments) and fill out an application for Baloo. You will be happier than a New York state of mind that you did!!!

🐾 MEET SELENA 2! 🐾

Selena 2 may not be quite a Boxer… but how could we not save this good girl? ❤️

Selena is 2 years old, and she is friendly with both people and other dogs. She has such a sweet personality and deserves the same chance at a happy life as every dog who comes through our doors.

Right now, Selena is staying in a kennel. And while the people caring for her are amazing, loving and doing everything they can for her, we all know the truth…

A kennel is not a home. 🥺

Selena is ready for a family of her own — a soft place to sleep, people to love, a routine, and someone who will make her part of the family forever. 🏡❤️

We are hoping to find Selena a forever family within our adoption area who will look past the fact that she isn’t quite a Boxer and see the wonderful dog she is.

Could that family be yours?

Let’s find Selena her home. She’s waited long enough. 🐾

💔Pearlita💔

Overlooked, again and again and again.

At 6 years old, she should have her own family. She should know the sound her forever humans' footsteps. She should wiggle when she hears the sound of their voices. She should know when it's time for a walk in her own neighborhood, and when it's time to curl up on her very own couch. She should know where the best sunny spots are in her very own yard.

But Pearlita has nothing to call her own, except her very own foster mom.

She is loved and doing so well in foster, but it's not her happily ever after. Days go by, weeks go by, even months go by. So many of our dogs get adopted, but Pearlita still waits.

She is such a sweet girl... so gentle, calm, quiet, and unassuming. She doesn't ask for much, except unconditional love. She walks like a star on leash, is housebroken, will happily rest her head on your lap during your favorite TV show, and isn't shy about wanting her belly rubbed.

💗6 years old
💗 would love to be your one and only
💗 kids 12+
💗 fenced in yard
💗 no cat history
💗 fostered in PA

We don't want to have to keep telling Pearlita that no one has chosen her. Please be the reason we can tell her that everything she's ever wanted is coming. She deserves a family so she can begin to make memories filled with things of her own.
Pearlita will make such a wonderful companion to someone who is simply looking for a little boxer shadow and a whole lotta love.

👉 If you would like to adopt Pearlita, please visit our website (linked in comments) and fill out an application for her.

🍀 MEET SASKIA! 🍀

This beautiful girl is sweet as can be, and being a stray never dimmed her light. ❤️

Saskia came into the shelter as a stray, but she quickly showed everyone exactly who she is — a happy, loving girl who thinks every human, big or small, is a friend! And she loves other dogs, too! 🐶❤️

At just 3 years old, Saskia has so much life and love ahead of her. And here’s another little bit of luck… she got to keep her tail! 🍀🐾

Right now, Saskia is waiting in a kennel on Long Island, NY, and she desperately needs a foster or adopter to give her the home she deserves.

She has already shown the world how much love she has to give. Now she just needs someone to give her a chance. ❤️

🏡 Can you help Saskia get out of the kennel and into a home?

Please LIKE, SHARE, and tag someone who might be the perfect person for this sweet girl.

Let’s get Saskia home! 🍀❤️🐾

🐾 WELCOME TO AABR, BAXTER! 🐾

Baxter was on the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter, scheduled to die today, October 2, 2026.

Thankfully, our incredible volunteers monitor these urgent lists, and because they were watching, Baxter’s story got a second chance. ❤️

Today, instead of his life ending, Baxter is beginning a whole new chapter.

Welcome to the best days of the rest of your life, Baxter. 🐾

You are safe.
You are loved.
And you are finally home. ❤️

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this rescue possible. Your support saves lives.

Welcome to AABR, sweet boy. We’ve got you now. 🐶❤️
Stay tuned for Baxter’s story.

Barbie was returned to rescue after one month with her new family 💔

Her play style and need for a lot of exercise proved to be too much for them. So, we welcomed her back with open arms.

Barbie doesn't know what has happened to her family. She's confused, refusing to eat, and her favorite toys remain untouched on the floor of her boarding kennel. She keeps looking around, wondering when she'll be going home.

Barbie is very much a young pup. She's strong, loyal, playful, sweet as sugar, snuggly, and always down for an adventure.

While we continue searching for a family worthy of this beautiful soul, please keep Barbie in your thoughts. She doesn't understand that good things are coming her way. Right now, she simply feels left behind.

👉If you would like to be her reason to smile again, visit Barbie's bio (linked in comments) and apply for her.
