Happy Gotcha Day Mr. Bates

Chops on the left with Dad Tim and brother Billy

The whole family, with Dad Jener

Many of you remember Chops, our former Chip In boy who  came to rescue as an abused puppy with 5 old fractures in his legs that had not been treated.  Look at him now!  A true tribute to love and caring!  He is now Mr. Bates, named after the Downton Abbey tv character and has a brother Boston, Billy.

 

Forever Dad Tim Rush writes, “Today is the one year anniversary of our adopting Mr. Bates! We're so happy this special boy is in our life. It’s never a dull moment with this fun boy, even Billy has a soft spot for him (we think!). Thanks again to Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue and Carolyn Kamp Kanine for bringing us together. And remember, please adopt, and if you have your heart set on a particular breed, do a little research, there probably is a rescue organization just for them!”

 

Thanks to Carolyn for her special care for this little boy and for finding the perfect home for him!

HOORAY!

Thank you to the hero who saved this dogs life!!!! 
MULTIPLE DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS EVERY YEAR, LEAVE THEM HOME IT IS TOO HOT!!!!

More on Bryant

Bryant came to NEBtR as an owner surrender directly to me his foster mom back in January. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease. Bryant was treated for the thyroid problem but this had little effect on his weight and polydypsia. Bryant then had a loading dose for the Cushing's and since his treatment has been emerging as a dog. He now rolls on his back, comes when called and even today, I saw him grooming his paws. Nothing special perhaps, but for a dog with Cushing's this is amazing. He was more like a statue than a dog and is now becoming more like a dog than a statue. He was seen today by my great vet and will be placed on a maintenance dose to control the disease. I am hoping that within 4 weeks, he will be stable on the meds and ready for a forever home. Bryant is a great dog. I was waiting to see who he was beyond his illnesses. Bryant also lost 4 lbs. With his health issues and his frequent urination under control, he will make someone very happy. Bryant will start the medication maintenance asap. Let's hope the best for him. (I posted new pictures of Bryant in the Photo file)

Linda Brennan

New Foster Buddy

Hi everyone, thank you so much for welcoming me to NEBTR! We are so excited to be a part of this rescue! We got our new foster Buddy yesterday.  Buddy is a "Boskimo," which is a BT/American Eskimo mix! He is such a sweetie!

When he first arrived he was a bit nervous and timid but he is gradually becoming more and more comfortable with us. Once he gets more used to being in a new place we have no doubt that he will be able to fully open up to us! Buddy loves to snuggle! He also loves to play & do tricks! He is a very smart boy! When Buddy gets excited he likes to bark and his whole body and tail wiggle all over-- it is adorable! Once we get to know Buddy better I will be sure to let you all know more about him!

BostonTerrierHub.com

good web site with lots of information about Boston Terriers.  You'll notice that some of our blog posting are from this site.

Welcome, Fellow Boston Terrier Enthusiasts!

As a Boston Terrier "mom", I wanted to share the knowledge and love I have for this very special breed of dog. So, I created this site as a resource for potential owners and for the people who love these skooshy-faced little dogs as much as I do.

Our family has always had dogs, but it wasn't until we got our first BT that we felt that we had found just the right breed for us. They are intelligent, active little dogs. And, their size, personality and temperament have been a perfect fit for our family.

If you're thinking of adding a Boston to your family, I can tell you that they make great companions. If you're already owned by a BT, then you already know how incredibly special they are!

Looking for information on finding a breeder, puppy selection, health care, nutrition, training, or other additional resources? We can help!

Here's a peek at what you'll find here:

• An introduction to the breed, their ancestry and history.
• Learn about choosing a breeder and a puppy.
• Feeding and proper nutrition.
• Common health problems you should be aware of.
• Great names for BTs and help with naming your dog.
• News and stories about Bostons.
• Adorable pictures of Boston Terriers.
• And much, much more!

Boston Terrier Mix

Is a Boston Terrier Mix the Right Dog for You?

A Boston Terrier mix is created by crossing a purebred Boston Terrier with another purebred dog. The mix is what is sometimes referred to as a "designer dog" or "hybrid dog".

These dogs are not the usual "mutts" whose backgrounds are unknown. A hybrid dog is a combination of two purebred dogs with known lineage. Hybrid dogs are becoming more and more popular. They are usually are bred to produce a new dog that will ideally have the best characteristics of both parent breeds. Unfortunately, any variation of qualities from either breed may apprear in the hybrid dog.

If you are considering a hybrid dog, research the characteristics for both breeds to be sure there's nothing in either parent breed that would make them an undesirable pet for you.

The American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the main registry for hybrid dogs, currently recognizes over 500 designer breed crosses, including the Boston Terrier Mixes listed below.

Mandy at the Park

 

I took Mandy on her first outing to a park.  We didn't stay long I didn't want her getting overwhelmed.  She moved along better then I expected. But we didn't see anyone until we got back to the car.  As soon as she saw people she panicked, trying to flee and go under my car.  I made her stand there for a minute before getting in the car.  

Another first, she played with my BT last night outside.  They did the play hop and ran together.  She really comes to life at night...wanting out frequently, running around and taking time to sniff.  I stay up as late as I can so she can have her happy time :-)
