HBR Garners More Support! -- Monday February 22nd, 2010
It is very encouraging to see so many organizations rallying in support of organized rescue! Recently HBR's efforts were financially recognized by the following groups: The Greg Biffle Foundation $1500.00, PetCo Foundation $428.28 (donations at the register really do get distributed!), and Purina Pets for Seniors $250.00. We are very grateful for the aid as we continue to get the job done, together!
EXCEDED DONATION GOAL! -- Friday January 1st, 2010
We set $30,000.00 as our goal for straight donations in 2009. Because of loyal individual supporters, which includes our own volunteers, HBR exceded it's goal by $4,000.00!
It is largely because of all our compassionate friends, that HBR was able to save 98 dogs from unnecessary death!
Thank you for making our rescue dogs recipients of your giving! We hope you continue to entrust us with funds enabling HBR to pull dogs off death row, accept strays, and embrace owner surrenders who want insurance their companions find qualified homes.
Sad to say, there is a continued steady flow of displaced boxers. Please keep us open and running throughout 2010!
With Gratitude,
The HBR Volunteers

Courtesy of Google AdWords, we have a potential of $10,000.00 per month in free advertising. Have you ever noticed the extra ads that appear in the righthand margin when a search is completed? Those are AdWords! Every AdWord campaign HBR creates is another potential 'click' to the HBR web site. Clicks can evolve into adoptions or donations! HBR expresses sincere appreciation to everyone who supports our efforts. It is all about the dogs!
ARVC Gene Identified! -- Tuesday May 5th, 2009
http://www.wsutoday.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=14446&TypeID=1
This is HUGE news to the boxer world! Now reputable boxer breeders have a way to identify the gene for Boxer Cardiomyopathy and can exclude boxers carrying the gene, from their breeding stock!
HBR hopes you will support boxer rescue, but if you buy a dog, please ask if all health testing was performed on the breeding stock! And now you can ask if the test for cardiomyopathy was performed as well!
