LSBR’s 2nd Annual Poker Tournament

Lone Star Boxer Rescue’s 2nd Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament is fast approaching. This year’s event will be Friday, February 6 at SPJST Hall – 1435 Beall Street, Houston, TX.

The annual poker tournament is one of LSBR’s biggest fundraisers of the year. The proceeds help us rescue, rehabilitate and rehome boxers in need. Our first Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Challenge was held on September 29, 2007. It was a huge success. Over 200 people attended and enjoyed poker, raffles, a silent auction, music and great food donated by Escalantes. The funds raised at the event allowed LSBR to continue to rescue boxers well into 2008.

This year’s event will also include poker and blackjack tables, a raffle, silent auction, great food and a ton of fun. The night will begin at 7pm with player check-in, a buffet dinner and silent auction. We have a lot of great items being auctioned off this year that you won’t want to miss. The Poker Tournament will begin at 8:00.

Seats are limited to 200 players. Last year’s event sold out early and we are well on our way to doing the same this year, so be sure to register early https://www.signmeup.com/site/reg/register.aspx?fid=XM2V8K7. As with all of LSBR’s events, you won’t want to miss it. We bring in a great crowd and fun will be had by all.

LSBR Welcomes 2009!

Welcome to the Lone Star Boxer Rescue blog. Lone Star Boxer Rescue is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization dedicated to the health and well-being of the boxer breed. LSBR is run and managed by volunteers. Our main objective is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home boxers that come to us from many sources including local animal shelters, owner surrenders, and strays.

In 2008, LSBR found loving homes for 281 dogs in need. That’s right, 281! Just short of one dog in a new home per day. With the continued support of our volunteers, donors and you, we know we can do even better in 2009. We started the year with 8 adoptions already, so we are well on our way.

We have a few exciting upcoming events we’d like to share. First, on Saturday, January 17, 2009 from noon until 3:00 pm, we will be holding our Mobile Adoption at the Willowbrook PetsMart located at 17723 Tomball Parkway in Houston, TX. Check our website, www.lsbr.org, for animals that will be attending the adoption.

Next, please join us for our 2nd Annual Bet on a Boxer Texas Hold ‘Em PokerFest. This year the event will be held on Friday, February 6^th from 6:00pm to 12:00pm. It will be held at SPJST Hall, 1435 Beall St, Houston, TX. It is a five-hour tournament and we’ll also have Blackjack Tables available. Dinner will be provided along with a cash bar, raffle and silent auction. Limited seats are available and last year we sold out, so be sure to register early at https://www.signmeup.com/site/reg/register.aspx?fid=XM2V8K7. Remember, you save lives when you bet on a boxer.
