Gulliver |
A State Trooper found a young boxer we named Gulliver cowering in the bushes on the side of the highway after he was apparently hit by a vehicle and left to die. The officer coaxed him out of his hiding place where he had taken refuge. He scooped Gulliver up and gingerly placed him in his cruiser; he immediately knew this poor frightened boxer needed emergency medical attention.
The doctor at the
animal hospital examined Gulliver, stabilized him, and determined
that he would need to be treated by an orthopedic specialist to get
the best care. He had a severely broken jaw, several broken teeth,
multiple scrapes and bruises, and a pneumothorax (air in the chest
cavity). At this point NBR received the call asking if we could
help. We immediately made arrangements to take Gulliver to the
emergency facility at

Oliver |
A LIMITED PAST…AN UNLIMITED FUTURE
We received the following email regarding a young male
boxer who was born with a congenital deformity which affected both hind
legs. He was brought to an animal hospital to be killed by a pet store
owner when he could not sell him.
“I know you must get a lot of
emails like this one, but I am sending it to you anyway with the hope
that this story touches you like it touched me. Is this a puppy that
you can help (please, see attachment). This sweet puppy is at the
animal hospital where I take my pets.
I found your email address on the
internet. I understand that you have many animals and may not be able
to help him, but I thought I would send it to you just in case you may
be able to help him.”
NBR responded immediately and offered our help.
We learned that Oliver has basically been caged his whole life. He
was born in a cage at a puppy mill, shipped to a cage in a pet store,
and survived in a cage in a vet hospital where he had been brought in to
be killed by the owner of a pet store. Oliver never had an opportunity
to walk on grass or feel earth underneath his deformed legs. Luckily
the animal hospital staff decided to seek help for Oliver instead of
letting him die.

TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS
As they say, “time heals all wounds” and Jewel is no exception. She has
come a long way from the sad broken puppy in the initial photos, and has
completely healed from her surgeries. Jewel is thankful for all of the
heartfelt emails, donations and prayers throughout her recovery. Below
is a long awaited update written by her foster mom.
“I think back to not so long ago when I had to carry Jewel up and down
the stairs in the house and bring her food bowl to her on the couch
because she was unwilling to get up to eat. What an amazing spirit she
has.
The hardships that she has endured in life, the trauma of being hit by a
car, lying alone, broken and afraid for 2 days in a veterinary hospital,
and waiting for a familiar face to come and comfort her…which never
arrived. She had lost her home and her family just when she needed them
the most. Now, thankfully, those are all distant memories and the only
reminder is a small scar on the inside of her leg.
Jewel was recently spayed and has recovered quickly. The biggest
problem we encountered while she was recuperating was trying to convince
her that it was important to rest until her incision healed. When
presented with a warm lap to lay in she usually agreed.
I watch her now run full speed around the back yard, right on the tail
of her little boxer buddy. I know that as soon as she hears the crinkle
of the food bag, no matter where she is in the house, she will be at my
side before the first cup can be poured. T his little “Monkey” (which we
lovingly call her) is a typical boxer clown.
I am very thankful to have been a part of Jewel’s second chance. She
truly is an amazing dog!!!”

Winslow training for the dog days of summer
![]() "Just touching base. Winslow continues to get stronger everyday. He's a regular bull moose now. We are working on his walking and social skills. He's great with people but has become a little over anxious around other pups. I bring him to the park every day now and we're trying to get him back into the social life. Overall, he is doing fantastic and is a really happy pup. We are still trying to get a picture of his nubby dance but, he twists back and forth so quick that it's hard. Here are two pics, one snuggled up with Pnut's blanket during that little cold snap and yesterday, taking a little siesta."
THE WINSLOW FAMILY
HAPPINESS FOR WINSLOW THE MIRACLE BOY
Winslow is on the final leg of his journey to a new life. He has
completed the last of his heartworm treatments and tolerated the
procedure well. The doctors feel Winslow is finally healthy enough to
be neutered and his appointment has been scheduled.
This fortunate dog has reaped the rewards from the kindness of
humanity. Our thanks go out to everyone who has followed Winslow's
story and contributed kind words, much needed prayers, and generously
assisted with his excessive medical expenses which have taken a toll
on our medical fund. I'm sure you will agree with us that he was
worth every penny.
The bonus to this happy ending is that Winslow’s wonderful foster
family have fallen in love with him. They have requested that he
become a permanent member of their family, and we are thrilled.
Welcome home Winslow!!!
Read his full story
here along with a
report from his new Family! Flown On The Wings Of Angels...Winslow Needs Your Prayers
Winslow is in critical condition and he is in the intensive care unit at Tufts University Animal Hospital. He definitely needs your prayers. When we first received the call about Winslow we understood that his leg was seriously fractured (apparently hit by a car), he was abandoned by his family, and had not received medical attention for two weeks. We immediately arranged to have Winslow flown to Massachusetts where he could receive the best medical care available. As soon as we saw him we were shocked by his condition and could not help but cry. When we arrived at Tufts Animal Hospital it was apparent that Winslow was in bad shape, however we were not prepared for what the doctors discovered upon their examination. Read his full story

IN MEMORY OF COOPER
2005 - 2007
We are sad to report that Cooper has lost the battle
with his rare liver disease. Until very recently he was doing well and
enjoying life. However when Cooper started to fail he deteriorated
quickly and could not be saved.
Cooper brought a special joy to all who loved him. We are eternally grateful to Carrie for making his short stay in this world a happy one. Cooper was exceptionally endearing and will remain in our hearts forever.
“Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us,
these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of
our own lives.”
