Brewster doesn’t have much of a tail – only a nub – but that hasn’t stopped him from furiously wiggling his heinie since the moment he was rescued! Staff at Adopt a Boxer Rescue weren’t even sure the severely emaciated dog would survive another day, but the will to live is strong with this one, and he’s recovering like a champ.
A good Samaritan found the abandoned boxer curled up in a field in Ridgewood, Queens, and carried him to a shelter. They knew the skeletal boy required more specialized care than they were equipped to provide, so they got him into the care of Adopt a Boxer Rescue.
AABR got a frantic call from the NYC shelter director tonight asking for our help for Brewster. He is 25.8 lbs and…

AABR has been giving daily updates on his progress:
“Brewster made it through the night!!! He is showing interest in food and has been starting on a slow refeeding schedule of every two hours. He is on fluids and also drinking on his own so he is peeing (a very good sign). He is on antibiotics for some possibly infected pressure sores but other bloodwork just showed anemia (not surprising). The staff there keep commenting on how sweet he is. All in all the positive vibes seem to be working – keep them coming!!”
Our volunteers were able to visit with Brewster today. Look at that little nub go! He is holding his own, but not out of…

Then came the excellent news that Brewster’s abused had been identified and caught. Twenty-five-year-old Anthony Esteves was arrested, confessed, and was charged with felony animal cruelty for allowing this poor dog to starve over a three-month period.
But now Brewster is recovering and loving life with his foster family. He is happy to meet any person or dog he comes across.
A little clip of Brewster and Benjamin from last night. It has been one week and he has already gained 6 pounds!

Many already wish to adopt Brewster, but his recuperation period will be lengthy, and AABR has many other rescued boxers who also very badly need a home. They operate out of an area between southern Connecticut and northern Virginia, so all applicants must live within those parameters. For more information and updates, visit their website and Facebook page.
Amen I hope he gets better soon and goes to a really great home poor little guy. ♡♡♡♡
I hope he gets a good home now
Beyond words ! So glad he’s recovering 😀😀
People really suck sometimes!!!
Thank you for helping this baby 😘
Makes me violent.

Precious boy!

A close friend of mine adopted a boxer in that same kind of shape. The vet said take him home and love him because he will die. That was years ago and 95 lbs. later!!! Happy, healthy and 95 pounds of pure love!!!
Get better sweetie. 💟

Poor little guy good to see he was saved
No words 😡💦💔
This is one of the worst I’ve seen, NO excuse for someone doing this. Thank you all involved in his rescue and praying he makes it x
Bastards!! Poor sweet baby…thank you for your loving compassion…❤️❤️❤️
Isabelle Gagnon Perron
he should get prison, or maybe he should go HUNGRY!
I hope he gets what he deserves. I know there is a special place in Hell for him.
This is SO heartbreaking, I’m glad he was saved! The stupidity and cruelty of people is beyond my understanding….
Prayers and love for a speedy recovery, sweet baby!
So, so glad he is safe now!!!!!
Something nasty should have happened to Anthony. I am interested in the outcome. Anybody know?
Good that the owner was arrested for animal cruelty for starving over a 3 month period his dog. How can this be true? It’s cruel but it does happen at times to dogs that are abused or starved by their owners. I hope that since the owner is in jail he’ll be getting no food at the jail or even water to drink for the period of time he was allowing his dog to starve. Good to know the dog is recovering at the Adopt a Boxer Rescue who are good people to have rescued him. The owner should never be allowed to ever own a dog again if he gets out of jail and not fed there for the time he let his dog starve almost to death. If it haven’t been to the Adopt the Boxer Rescue he probably would have starved to death. Hope he’ll soon be rescued by someone who falls in love with this cutie and so this dog will I am praying be adopted soon into a loving forever home.

hes so cute
anymore, i’m more surprised when i see someone doing good deeds for animals rather than bad…the human race generally sucks for the most part 🙁
I really have no words that would be appropriate for this page regarding the ROTTEN POS that did this to this beautiful boy . stay strong Brewster , only good times ahead sweet boy !! — Jill
Aw
What the hell??? Who could allow this to happen? That’s criminal!!!!
Oh my God, how could somebody do that to a defenseless animal? Thank God he got rescued.
People that so this need to be put down.
Starve that SOB to death! Day by day, watch him waste away… THAT would be justice!
Poor pup sure has a strong will to live. I hope the person(s) responsible for this pup gets what he deserves.
thank you to everyone that helped doggy
Feels sorry to look at him
Das ist so entsetzlich! Wie kann man so herzlos sein und Tiere fast verhungern lassen. Wenigstens haben sie ab jetzt ein besseres Leben.
OMG evil cruel scum that could do this hope they know what it feels like to be hungry
Whover let this poor dog get in this condition should be shot!!!! Or better yet starved to death. There is no excuse for this kind of abuse.
That’s so sad he had to go through that, but glad he’s safe now. So I hope he gets a great, loving home when he’s well. It’s also sad someone didn’t report what they saw that man doing
Matt Greenwood John Barnard
Hey Val Benge, I’m so glad this boxer had a second chance at life. Heart wrenching and sadly, happens too often.
Bless him, the stories just get worse
Praying for this precious baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻💚🍀
owners deserve jail who abuse dogs
Sending healing prayers to Brewster…..
Ray
so sad… I do hope he recovers ok…
It is hard to watch without shame at human race ……
OMG one of the worst cases I’ve seen 😢
What sort if scumbag can do this to an animal. Thank god wee pet had the strength to survive.
I could not believe my eyes how that poor boy must have suffered but with his super willpower and loving caring people I really hope he gets well. But more so I hope the person responsible someday suffers as much as Brewster has
I sure hope Anthony Esteves gets whats coming his way, barsteward, hope he gets starved for 3 months, and doesnt make it !!
Wtf is wrong with some people??? I am disgusted at the cruelty wrought upon this poor creature… I hope the guy responsible gets every bit of karma (and then some) coming to him for what he’s done here…
It is difficult to grasp that someone could do this intentionally to an animal.
So hard to see, just glad someone will love him now
Prayers to him for a speedy recovery and a happy forever home!!
That is bullshit
Poor baby!!! Don’t worry you are going to be well taken care of now and so very loved!
This is one of the worst cases I’ve seen, I do hope he pulls through. I just can’t understand how owners let this happen.💝
How in God’s name to you do that???? HOW????? Did you eat you disgusting scumbag right in front of him??? I pray you BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!
That is the worst case of malnourishment I have ever seen …. I don’t know how this baby survived … really hate you mean human !
So sad; how could anyone treat an animal like that! Hope he is starved one day.
SORRY SOB. THAT DID THIS
That really upsets me to think that a human let this poor baby starve !!! If u r too poor to buy food then find him a home that can. Thank u for helping him !!! U r angels !!! He deserves a second chance !!! 😇🐾🐾💮
I agree with u Elizabeth if the punishment was very harsh i think all the cruelty and abuse might stop no animal on this earth asks for this law needs to be where all these nasty twat’s go straight to jail. Xxx
May our Lord bless your people that rescued this baby!
OH my word, I can’t believe he could live!!! Thank you for saving him!!
Thank you.
Bless you for helping this dog from further suffering.
bless you Brewster
Poor guy! I’m glad he’s getting the love he deserves!
i would happily ki* that bastard who has done this! But he would long suffer before taking the last breath!
Irena
🙁 glad hes safe
That TRASH needs jail and a good ass whooping!!!!
Poor baby. I love boxers.
Bless you Brewster.
God almighty what a bastard poor poor dog, hope he gets over this terrible start in his life.
Thank you
Poor thing. So happy for him! Every animal needs love!
This is totally unacceptable… He should be “held’ in a “prison ward” or “jail” for months WITHOUT any food or water and let him get a taste of his own medicine.. This poor little creature and with all torture and neglect yet he still is able to wag his little tail. This abuse is a CRIME and the “so called owner” needs to be SEVERELY PUNISHED for this horrible act..
Hang in there Brewster Buddy !
What in the world this is like sub effing human!
Oh dear God…forgive me for wishing his tormented I’ll…
Thank you for helping him.What a pretty pup
Adam
Sweet baby! Shared Pet Kingdom
Been there done that manny times with all kinds of breeds. My wife found a recipe for Satin Balls. Ground beef, oat meal, molasses, and other stuff. Brought them back from the dead.
Bless you sweetheart!
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
I’m glad they caught the “person” who is responsible for that poor dogs suffering…..
Can’t beleive monsters like that man exist. He should be starving for months…and months. Hope he get back in shape and have a happy life por baby xxxx
Whoever did this is going to hell. How could anyone be so cruel? Get well soon Brewster.
My god
That’s a sorry excuse of a human being that allowed this pup to get in that shape! Wow, just wow….
shoot the idiot please.
*abuser
Poor baby, I hope he survives, no animal should ever be treated like that!
