BeBe needs Your HELP!

This beautiful girl is BeBe. She's much too sick to write to you herself, so one of the LBR volunteers is helping her. When she get's better, she'll tell you all about herself.

As of right now, she is fighting for her life at one of our wonderful LBR vets. Her owner's took her to an ER clinic last night to have her euthanized because she has a prolapsed uterus. She has been sick for 10 DAYS! That's not a pretty sight, so we won't share those pictures with you, but let's just say it is life-threatening and very painful. And she's only 17 months old. Just a baby.

The ER clinic couldn't bear to euthanize her. They said that when they looked at her face, it was as if she was saying "Please don't kill me!". They contacted LBR for help. Our fearless leader, Sharon Sleighter took one look at her picture and told them to stabilize her and we would do what we can to help.

Within 30 minutes, we had a foster home lined up and transport from the ER clinic to our regular vet arranged.

BeBe has a long way to go and it's still unclear as to whether or not we will be able to save her life or not. She is scheduled for surgery at 10AM in the morning at a vet that specializes in very complicated surgeries. Her ER bill alone was $809. And that's just a drop in the bucket of what it will take to save her.

But that's what Legacy Boxer Rescue does best - Save The Boxers!

Wine Tasting

Legacy had their wine tasting event this past weekend and I wasn't allowed to go! I don't know why, I love people and wine (when mom's not looking, shhh don't tell her). Mom said the event was a great success and a lot of fun. I think it would of been even more fun if I'd of been there.

















This is Booker, he got his own cupcake and everything! Booker's mom is the president of Legacy so I'll cut him some slack for eating my cupcake. Mom said he was a very good boy.
















This is my mom and her friend and fellow volunteer Joni. My mom's the one in the glasses. They sure do look like they were having fun!

















This is Andrea and Melodi. They volunteer for Legacy too. Don't tell mom I said so but I'm glad all these wonderful volunteers and Legacy supporters had a chance to get together and enjoy themselves and make some money! It's very important for the all the dogs in Legacies care, they like to eat you know!!















The next time ya'll (I'm a Texas girl you know) are in the Dallas area check to see if there's an event you can come to. The Legacy Volunteers are sure to keep you entertained.

Booker is begging....

Booker is begging you to vote for his mommy, LBR Founder Sharon Sleighter, for the Hero Next Door award. I really don't like Booker to beg, but this is a WORTHY cause and I will have to admit, I fall over if I try to beg like he does, so the job is all his. Please vote for our mommy, we love her lots and she says this $5,000.00 will help a lot of other boxers like us! Thank you!

Pet Fair!

Pet fair yesterday was a big success.  I was not allowed to go, but lots of other boxers were there.  Buster Blue was there doing his froggy doggy pose, as usual.  

Keebler was there showing off his new fur coat.  He is one leggy boxer boy, isn't he?

Also, Rome was there, talking and singing to everyone.  Kathy B had a whole conversation with the boy! Hear for yourself...





If you want to meet some of our boxers and be part of the fun, come out to one of our Meet Our Boxer events!

Please Help!

A little birdy told me that Legacy Boxer Rescue's "Pack Leader", Sharon Sleighter, has been selected as a Top 10 Finalist in Care2.com's "Hero Next Door" contest. Here is Sharon with two very cute puppies that LBR rescued.

My friend Sharon (who also saved ME!) wants everyone to know that if she wins, Legacy gets $2500, and she will donate her $2500 to Legacy also.

That's $5,000.00 for Legacy Boxer Rescue! That will go to boxers like Noel, who needs some groceries!

I like big lips and I can not lie...

Muwah! Don't you just want to kiss those lips? Keebler has great lips.


Roxanne's lips are pretty kissable too.




But Winston is the most kissable EVER!
(okay - so maybe his Mom is a little biased)

Look deep into my eyes...

Huckleberry here. Listen to the sound of my voice....You are getting sleepy. Verrrrrrrry sleepy.

WAIT! I'm not ready for a nap. I would rather play with Jellybean and Keebler in the snow.

I have a GREAT right hook. You better watch out Jellybean, or you might get punched!
