Titan Needs Your Help!
Titan is a handsome and gentle little puppy, and at about seven months old, he’s already endured more than most will in their entire lives. He came to rescue with both front legs broken, and the break on his front right leg damaged the growth plate. Therefore, as you can see in the photos, Titan's right leg has developed an angular deformity as he’s grown that will only continue to get worse without corrective surgery.
As if that wasn’t enough, Titan also has some sort of neurological problem. During a neuro consult, he was noted as having a lack of coordination, twitching front legs, a head tilt, slow reactions, and general unsteadiness and ataxia.
The window of time during which we can expect the best possible outcome for Titan is narrow. If he was even three months older, the orthopedic surgery may not go quite as smoothly as it can now, so time is of the essence.
Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue desperately needs your help in our fight for Titan. The holidays are particularly difficult for nonprofit organizations to procure funding because donations generally are down, while the number of homeless dogs consistently spikes. In order for Titan to get the medical care he needs, and in time to make a difference, we need your help with the medical bills.
Current estimates for Titan’s medical needs are about $6000, and that does not include medical care to date. Please, please help Titan.

Desperate Need for Foster Homes
Unfortunately, during the holidays, the need for homes for surrendered and rescued dogs goes up significantly.
BRBR is also in great need of additional foster families to open their hearts and homes. There are always more boxers in need than there are homes to place them in, and you can help! All you have to offer is a safe indoor home, exercise, food, toys, and love. All medical expenses are covered by the rescue!
Our foster coordinators will help to match your family with a suitable foster dog, and our BRBR team of volunteers is a wealth of knowledge and support.
More foster homes means more lives saved! Can you help?
