Does anyone know if Tara O. still posts to the newsgroups? I wanted to ask
her about Boxer rescue. An Elder Statesman was rescued in Brooklyn who looks
like he might be a sweetie (looks like a Boxer/AmStaff mix) and I wanted to
pump her for resources for placing this guy.

Hope you're all doing well!!

Hey there! All is good & busy here as the whole family has gotten into
training & class-taking mode. I hope you're doing well.

The only resource I have for NY is Second Chance Boxer Rescue which serves
all of the New England states but specializes in NY, NJ & PA. They pretty
much have the monopoly on Boxer rescue along the upper half of the eastern
seaboard so I'd recommend emailing them as their network is huge.

If they can't help, or won't take a mix, they'd be better qualified to give
you another referral than I would as I really don't have occasion to talk
with anyone up there.

Glad to hear you're keeping busy! Ignore my ping in .behavior (I tried like
hell to avoid going in there) and thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I'm good. Getting into all kinds of different things. Got totally stuck in
Trainer burnout for a looooong time. Have been renewing my enthusiasm by
volunteering and working with some national campaigns. Less hands on stuff,
but more interesting to me for now. That's why I've pretty much lost all of
my local rescue contacts.....I totally burned out on that stuff years ago.

THANKS! I'll contact them immediately.

No problem, it was good to see a post from you.

I wouldn't want to be a trainer, assuming I had the qualifications (which I
don't), because there are just too many contrary people out there that are
hard to deal with. I've heard alot of trainers talking about an increase in
aggressive (both dog & people) class dogs as well.

We just finished a CGC class and are currently in beginner's agility
classes. We're excited about attending a working tracking seminar in June
as well so lots of new things to learn, teach & keep busy with.

Have been renewing my enthusiasm by
volunteering and working with some national campaigns. Less hands on
stuff,
but more interesting to me for now. That's why I've pretty much lost all

my local rescue contacts.....I totally burned out on that stuff years ago.

It happens alot. I resigned from the rescue I ran when I found out my
partners were up to no good behind my back. Most of my friends and
volunteers also left to start a different Boxer rescue during the big
fall-out. Now I'm just an occasional contact and while I regret not doing
anything to really help, knowing the huge need, I'm not ready to abandon so
much of my life for the sake of doing rescue again...yet. Maybe once Amie
is in high school.

THANKS! I'll contact them immediately.

I'm a dunce for not giving you the url:
