LSBR Welcomes 2009!
January 12, 2009Welcome 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 6th 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.
Please subscribe to our blog and sign up for our mailing list on our website, www.lsbr.org. We’ll keep you informed of all of our events and news of our successes and needs in the New Year.
