Where will my journey end?

Where will our journey home end? Could this have been the very question on the minds of Sugar and Liza, who we believe to be around 10 months old, suffering from demodec and 1-2 year old emaciated Bristol, when they arrived special delivery to Louisiana Boxer Rescue (LABR) on Friday night March 6, 2009?

After receiving word from a local animal shelter that they were desperate to move these three boxer girls due to overcrowding, arrangements were made and they were quickly transported to LABR for an introduction and evaluation then off to the vet for examinations and much needed medical attention.


This story is typical of most rescue groups on a weekly basis. Animal shelters rely on rescue groups to help ease the overcrowding at their facilities. Rescue Groups rely on volunteers, foster homes and donations and the animals rely on rescue groups for comfort, food and water, care and compassion while they recuperate.



Rescue groups positioned across our nation all have the same mission, saving animals from abuse, abandonment and neglect with a final goal of rehabilitation, re-training and finally an adoption into a forever loving home where their journey home will hopefully end. These efforts cost rescue groups thousands of dollars annually, and rescue groups are often short on means, overburdened and in need of a helping hand, relying on warm hearts for assistance and financial support.

There are a many ways you can help your local rescue group. Volunteer your time and talents, apply to become a foster home, transport dogs to vet visits, walk or play with a dog for a few hours, help coordinate fundraisers and lend a hand at planned events, and most importantly make a tax deductible donation.

You can make a secure online donation to LABR to sponsor these three boxer girls to help us cover necessary medical care so when they are healthy and available for adoption they can soon say…”This is where my journey ends, I’m finally home”.
