Our Rescue program is dedicated to fostering and re-homing Boston Terriers whose owners have surrendered them. The Club members who run the rescue program are dedicated to finding a permanent and loving home for all Bostons in our care. We work full time day jobs and care for fosters, travel to home visits (on weekends), and return calls in the evening and weekends as time permits. Please call back if we haven't returned your call within 24 hours.
Keep in mind that the club cannot afford to pay for long distance returned calls so please call us in the evenings or email us for the best time to call.

Rescued Boston Terriers are fostered in our homes and socialized with other dogs and people. We temperament test many of our Bostons to aid in making a good match with a prospective adopter. We will typically pick up a surrendered Boston at their home to speak with the owner to better understand the Boston and its needs and behavior before coming into foster care. Sometimes we may pick up a Boston at a shelter but most come from owner surrender. Since they are fostered in our homes there may be some Boston's that are not suitable for home fostering or care.
Some of the things we look for in a new family for one of our dogs are knowledge and understanding, resources to adequately provide for a Boston and the willingness to work with any medical/behavioral issues the dog may have.
While many times the interest in adopting a Boston Terrier exceeds the number of Bostons we may have in rescue, we encourage you to submit an application anyway. We will keep your application on file and will contact you if a Boston arrives that we think will be a good match with you. In turn if you no longer are interested we ask that you let us know.
Please be aware that to partially off-set the expenses incurred in providing necessary care for a Boston Terrier in rescue we ask for a minimum donation of $250 at the time of adoption.
Bostons love to be with you and please you. You can help them be the best Boston they can be by socializing them. Our events are a great way to do that. Bostons should have proof of current shots and show good canine behavior.
