Goodnight from Omar and Zoey
Goodnight from Zoey and Omar! To the loser that did this too these dogs...karma is coming!

New Fosters Omar and Zoe
NEBTR just took these two pups in from the Manhattan ACC.
They were found as strays. The male we are calling Omar is intact. The female we are calling Zoey, and is likely intact too. Both are very sweet, very frightened, and malnourished, dehydrated with wounds and abrasions from a tought time on the streets together. They appear to be siblings, so could very well be the same age, estimated between 1 and 2 years old.
Thanks to the police officer that took them to safety at the shelter. They will not be ready for adoption until they are healthy. If they stayed together on the streets they may need to be adopted together. That kind of loyalty and comfort to each other can't be ignored.
Please help Omar and Zoey .....they will have a long up hill battle. The upside is they are young. Downside is starved and missing teeth probably from eating rocks or trying to escape can only guess. Happy happy dogs....help us help them! Zoey has wounds I have never seen before and I have seen some ugly stuff!

Home for the Holidays - REMY
Hi I'm Remy (a/k/a MissRemy, Remy Rue & Rue Rue);
I'm a very sweet 10 years young female Boston Terrier. I came to NEBTR from an owner who could no longer take care of me. I have been in foster care on Long Island since June 2014. I am fully house trained and crate trained but my foster parents now let me sleep in bed with them and I LOVE it. I eat a combination of Natural Balance dog food and a home cooked chicken and veggie diet 2x per day becauseI was thin when I got here. My coat is now gleaming and I went from 12.3 lbs. to 15.8 lbs. in just four months. I love my fuller figure if I do say so myself.
In foster care, I live with two male Boston Terriers and two female cats. I tolerate them but it took me a while to get used to them since I’ve never lived with furry friends before and prefer my people most of all. When my foster mom saw that one of my eyes became cloudy, she took me to an ophthalmologist. It was determined that I had detached lenses in both eyes. It's all good and controlled now but I need eye medication 3x per day for the rest of mylife. I'm very good about getting my meds and best of all I get treats when I'm done...yum yum! Although I'd like to run wild like a typical Boston Terrier, I need controlled and safe play time so my lenses don't move around.
Because of this I would be best suited with a passive resident dog/cat that wants a companion rather than a playmate. I want so much to play fetch with my toys, and I can still do that, it just has to be in a safe environment so I don't bang into things and cause more damage to my eyes. I am also learning that it is fun to chew on my toys or a cow hoof to pass the time. Due to my vision impairment a quiet child free household without a lot of activity is best for me. I do have a fenced in yard but I also LOVE to go for walks and car rides too. Most important, I want to find that special someone who will spend a lot of quality time with me, love me and take care of my eyes and at the end of the day, I'd love to just hang out on the couch with you under a nice cozy blanket and watch your favorite shows. Good things come to those who wait....shall I pack my bags? Remy is currently being fostered in Smithtown, NY and her adoption fee will be $100.00. We require an application, phone interview and home check. To see our application process before applying, please visit, www.nebostonrescue.com
Home for the Holidays - ZOEY
Looking for an easy going, laid back lady? Then I'm about to be the love of your life! Yes indeed, being retired is a nice lifestyle for me, Iâm all done with the puppy nonsense that can make you crazy: no chewed up shoes, blankets, or pillows, housebreaking and I are well acquainted, and I won't demand your constant attention. You see, after twelve years, I've long since put all that foolishness behind me so we can have a nice, quiet, peaceful life, watching the birds from your window or yard, stopping to sniff the flowers or traces of other dogs, sitting quietly together, giving you gentle kisses to remind you Iâm with you and loving it, and, if you'll let me, snuggling in bed together. I'm a bit of a couch potato, would be happy to share it with you, but an occasional game of fetch would be fun too. Perhaps you and I could learn some new games, ones that won't wear out either of us. And I'm good for walks, the leash and I are old friends. I may get a bit excited when I see a dog, I like making new friends, but wonât be a pest. Being quiet and laid back, I'll rest peacefully while youâre at work or school, though of course I would love it if you and I could spend most of our time together without those inconvenient interruptions, but I understand the necessities of modern life, won't resent it when you're away. Just give me a nice, comfortable bed or couch till you get home. And I'll give you a big kiss when you return. So how about it? We'll make a great family! Wouldn't you like 25 lbs of love to share your home? Love, Zoey Zoey is currently being fostered in Bensalem, PA and her adoption fee will be $150.00 We require an application, phone interview and homecheck.

Molly Keiser Goes to the Rainbow Bridge
AT 12:20 wrapped in the pink blanket my friend Walter sent her, my Molly crossed the rainbow bridge. I held her tight, told her she was my baby and that I loved her with all of my heart. My world will never be the same without her

Sparky Goes to the Rainbow Bridge
"I have Sparky and we are on the way to the vet. Please pray for this
sweet senior 14 year old boy he is sad and in a lot of pain. He has a
giant, grapefruit sized tumor on his bottom that should have been
treated long ago. to try to save him." Rita Weeks
Sadly, this was not to be. Thank you Rita for being there for him and for giving him peace instead of having him die alone in the Manhattan ACC.
Marzia Donnini writes:
It's with a very sad heart that I have to write this update about about little Sparky
This poor boy was in a very bad shape and the vet doctors told the NEBTR volunteer who pulled Sparky that he was in a great pain and due to his age (14 or more yrs old) and the uncaring attitude of his previous owners (who allowed Sparky's health problems to progress beyond repair) most likely he would not have survived surgery to remove the tumor. Also, if he did survive, he would likely have needed additional surgeries and complex medical treatment to address the other issues - which his poor little body may not have been able to endure.

After many hours and a long conversation with the vet doctors, NEBTR decided to let him go....
Sparky went to the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by the love, the care and the compassion of the persons who rescued him,and not in a cold cage and in the loneliness of a shelter, where the awful owners had dropped him like trash.
He is in Doggie Heaven, now... happy and healthy, with big fields of green grass and sun and squirrels to chase and balls to catch and many furry friends to play with.
Run free in Heaven, little Sparky ... you will be forever in our hearts
Foster Quincy
Quincy
has been with me 3 weeks today and has made himself completely at home.
As you can see in the first picture his favorite spot is on the sofa.
While he was recovering from being neutered I took him to work with me
and he charmed the entire office staff. On Thursday he was not feeling
too well and slept most of the day in a chair in my office. He kept
hiding his eyes with his paw. It was so cute I couldn't help but snap a
picture of him. He is wonderful little guy and will soon be ready to
look for his forever home.

Haha! Well momma, please close the blinds, Quincy is sleeping! Lol

Happy Gotcha Day Tiny
We adopted our beloved Boston Terrier, Tiny, from NEBTR on
Halloween of 2011. We were living in Bethlehem, PA at the time. Tiny
adapted quickly to her new family and everyone adores her. We have
since moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and Tiny has made many new friends.
She is a 20-pound bundle of love and we cannot imagine our lives without
her.
Thanks for all that you do for these wonderful dogs....
Best,

Update on Jax
Hi Everyone!!!
It's been 6 weeks since Jax was rescued from the puppy mill in PA with Molly. I became a foster failure a week ago... :)
Jax is doing well and is loving his new life with our family. Yesterday, he met most of our extended family at a birthday party and they loved him!! Jax wasn't too sure of what to make of all the excitement, but he warmed up to everyone at the end.
Thank you again, NEBTR, for bringing another warm and precious soul into our lives.

Prince's First Year
Below you will find an email update I received from the Scatigno family who adopted our former foster Prince a little over a year ago! He is doing great!
--Moreen Nickerson
Hi Moreen –
I wanted to send an update on Prince as today is
his one year anniversary at our house! We are giving Prince a few new
toys and treats tonight to celebrate. I really think Prince loves
living with us and is living a life of leisure after
the rough times he had at his previous owner. He is such a good dog –
really loves people and thinks he is a lap dog even at 35 pounds! We
are still working on his allergy issues – they seem to be chronic and we
keep him away from other animals as it causes
him so much anxiety. Our vet has done a great job for him and I can
tell the vet loves him too!
Prince loves being inside and snuggling on the
couch with us. All you need to do is give him a scratch or rub his back
and he will never leave! He gives us that cute head tilt whenever he
wants something!
Moreen – thanks again for all of the work you and
Anthony did to get him ready to adopt. I think if any dog ever needed
to have a good home and be well taken care of, it is Prince.
Thanks,
Michele
Moreen,
He looks great! There is nothing sweeter than an update like that one.

Brooklyn Has a New Family
My five month old foster puppy, Brooklyn, has a new family whom she will be meeting next week. Bob and Lori Sherk live in western NY, out near Buffalo, wonderful family with no kids or dogs, highly recommended by Dolly's foster mom, Joy Riley.
Bob and Lori adopted Dolly from us ten years ago, she died this Spring at 14 years of age. They regard their dogs as their children, I know Brooklyn will have a charmed life.
Here are pictures of this charmer with my gorgeous redhead, Abigail.
Thanks to all the kind people who have helped Brooklyn in this journey to a new life.

One year ago today, Al and I drove to Pittsburgh and adopted her from her foster super-mom, Leslie Kaucic. Mandy is still our Steelers girl....but she's starting to like the Ravens too!!!
Leslie, you helped her evolve into a wonderful little dog. You were the first " human" that showed her love and she trusted you.

Meet Mr. Peabody!
Mr. Peabody, our new Tar heel foster, received his package of yummy treats yesterday and would like me to pass on to you how appreciative he is of all the thoughtfully selected toys and snacks. Thank you to everyone who supports our new foster packages. He is settling in nicely and looks forward to polishing off each and every piece that came in his mailbag.Thank you SO much!
Hard to believe this guy was on death row in Salisbury, NC a little more than a week ago. Thanks to Jerrilyn and Maria strapping on their superhero capes, he's here with us now!
Vicki Cuneo
Now - we know Mr. Peabody is not a Boston, (maybe a little) but we helped a fellow rescue group from NC, save Mr. Peabody's life who had run out of time. So for now, Mr. Peabody is an honorary NEBTR BT! And he will be available for adoption - isn't he adorable??

On the road again! Transporting senior (11!) Frank from the loving arms of his foster mom, Katelyn Laufenberg of Wall, NJ to meet his next transport, Diane Eberhard, in New Castle. She will rendezvous at Ft. McHenry in Baltimore with his adoptive family, who is driving up from Columbus, Georgia!
He's on his way to Baltimore now! The Georgia people drove through the night and got there at 9 AM they are so excited to get him!
