Brooklyn crossed to the Rainbow Bridge today, August 24. He spent the last few months of his life being loved and cared for by his foster family and his fur-foster brother Tater.

Brooklyn has been diagnosed with lung cancer and is in a permanent foster home to be cared for by FBR for the rest of his life. If you would like to help with Brooklyn’s continuing care, please click the donation button above.

Comments: Hello everyone, my name is Brooklyn. I am a very laid back gentleman. My foster Mom calls me a "gentle-man" cuz I love every dog, cat and person I meet. About me...my owner could no longer afford to care for me, so he and a lady friend of his thought it best that FBR meet me and find me a new forever home.

When FBR got me I had a little cough so the vet gave me a round of antibiotics. When it persisted, Foster Mom knew something wasn’t right so I had chest x-rays. There was a lot of congestion with bronchial pneumonia and three tumors were found in my right lung. I go back in 6 weeks for another x-ray. Foster Mom says I’ve been a real trooper. Since I have these tumors I’m now a permanent foster and will stay with Foster Mom.

I really enjoy life and I can tell you that even with the tumors I’m living the best life I’ve ever had right now! I go out to dinner with Foster Mom and we walk the pier, and I have a little white Boxer brother named Tater, though you may remember him as Duncan. Tater and I are the best of buddies and do everything together…play, sleep, run and even potty together! Tater is deaf and he’s teaching me to ring the bell at the door to go out and I’m learning sign language too. Foster Mom always laughs because I have this big ole massive head but I’m so gentle and give the tiniest little kisses.

FBR and Foster Mom will see that I have good care and lots of love. At the end of day when I’m lying next to Foster Mom with my head just touching her foot I sigh with happiness that I’ll be here for the rest of my days.

Special Boxer slurps to Benay Alperin for helping with Brooklyn's expenses!

Max Sr. has been diagnosed with a mass in his chest and is in a permanent foster home to be cared for by FBR for the rest of his life. If you would like to help with Max Sr.’s continuing care please click the donation button above.

Comments: Max Sr. found himself needing a foster home when the only guardian he’d ever known became sick and could no longer care for him. After living 11 years in one place this senior Boxer was very fortunate that the Volunteers with FBR found a home for him with a wonderful foster dad in only one day! Max wasn’t quite sure what was happening as his life turned on a dime, but he responded to the kindness with kisses and his nub wagging.

Although Max is a bit hard of hearing and doesn’t bark much, he’s a great watchdog. He likes to watch dogs and play and he likes kids too, but doesn’t know anything about cats. Max’s bones are a little stiff but medication helps keep him comfortable. He enjoys car rides, walks and going wherever foster dad goes. He sleeps next to the bed so no lions, tigers and bears will get you…or him. Max is a happy and laid back Boxer, still playful and spry as long as he gets his 11 naps a day. One nap for each year!

Shortly after coming into rescue Max slipped and fell, hurting his back. His foster dad took him to the vet and during the course of the exam x-rays were taken which revealed a mass in his chest. Max is on medication to keep him comfortable, but due to his advanced age and poor prognosis it was determined he required a permanent foster home. The good news is Max will remain right where he is! Max is a fortunate Boxer to have such a loving and caring home in which to stay. Though Max’s time may be short, his foster dad knows the rewards of caring for this gentle old soul makes foster dad the fortunate one.

Special thanks and Boxer slurps to the following people for their generous donations toward Max Sr.'s care.

Comments: Roxy was surrendered at Animal Control with her brother ChuCho. They absolutely adore each other and are friendly with everyone.
