Rocky is doing great under the loving care of Foster Mom Jen Bevensee, who does his therapy and attends to his medications. Rocky came through his surgery of putting a plate into his leg to bond the severely broken leg very well. When his foster Mom, Jen, got him from the vets office her instructions were that he needed a LOT of care and it didn't faze her at all. He needed meds, compresses,

Manny found his forever home, in South Jersey to an animal Chiropractor. Here is what his forever Dad says about Manny. Manny joins two other pups in the family, Roo and Ted. Another success story for one of our very deserving babies!! "I drove up to North Jersey to see Manny. Ted was more impressed with the people and the nice dog play area inside the building (daycare for dogs).

Wheezy has been with us for several days now and we have really started to get to know his personality. He is calm for 2.5 years old, and is happiest just pressed up against his humans on the couch. He is apprehensive of new people and frankly scared of men. Fortunately he just growls but can be easily bribed with treats. After just one growl when he first met my fiance he now spends most of

Wheezy has been with foster mom Amy for several days now.  Amy and Steve, her fiancee, have really started to get to know his personality. He is calm for 2.5 years old, and is happiest just pressed up against his humans on the couch.  He is easy to train: can be bribed with treats.  He loves women: when he meets them, he is on their lap within a few minutes; not used to being around

Do not be tempted to let dogs off leash in snow or ice. Canines often lose their scent in cold weather and can become lost. Dogs also can panic in snow storms and run away. The decreased daylight does not help either. More dogs are reported lost during the winter than any other season, so always keep dogs on leash when outside a fully fenced yard and make sure yours always wears proper

We receive frequent questions and comments about the geographic areas that NEBTR covers: many site visitors and followers wonder why we don't go to their area, when North East is part of our name.The simple answer: We don't have the volunteers in those areas. Our homechecks and transport for fostering and adoption are done by volunteers at their own expense, we have no paid staff or travel budget

All rescue dogs do not have personality problems. Foreclosure and moving are topping the list right now of reasons that an owner may surrender a pet. Other reasons a dog may be relinquished to a shelter or rescue may include: health of a family member; age or infirmity of the dog; too many animals in the household; or determination that the cost of responsible dog ownership is too high. Many

Rocky is a beautiful three year old Boston Terrier who was brought to a municipal shelter. He was found wandering on the street after having apparently been hit by a car on New Year's Eve. The injuries to his leg were extensive, having shattered the elbow in multiple places, and it was feared that amputation would be the only solution. But here's where Rocky's luck changed. After having been

Below is an update on Shamus. Shamus was to be surrendered with the other dog in his home that was pure Boston. The family decided they couldn't part with the purebred but gave Shamus the boot. Shamus definitely looks more beagle than Boston, but we made room for one more. All i could think about is that i belong to a Boston Terrier rescue...no one is going to apply for a Beagle! Well i was

Look how wonderful he looks!  A while back, we posted a request for urgent donations to help with the medical bills and care of the many, many Bostons who have recently been in jeopardy. One of the most horrendous cases was poor Cesar.  You wouldn't recognize him today, thanks to Carolyn's foster care and the loving forever home he has with Laura!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Sweety has gone to her new forever home . The Bovas adopted her on Thursday. They drove a few hours from Camillus NY to Saugerties with "Happy Birthday," "It's a Girl," and "Welcome Home" balloons and a whole gift basket of goodies for her. She was a little nervous but she quickly made friends with her new family. I am sure she is spoiled rotten already.

Carmine has a forever home! Many thanks to foster mother Heather and Christine Salerno, who did her first transport. The minute we pulled off 787 Carmine knew he was heading home. When we got to Ed's house, Carmine looked straight at him, then tried to jump out the door. Fortunately, I had the harness attached to the doggie seat belt, but when I let go he jumped right out and ran to Ed

All rescue dogs do not have personality problems. Foreclosure and moving are topping the list right now of reasons that an owner may surrender a pet. Other reasons a dog may be relinquished to a shelter or rescue may include: health of a family member; age or infirmity of the dog; too many animals in the household; or determination that the cost of responsible dog ownership is too high.

Wonderful little Maggie went to her forever home Saturday. Her new family came to pick her up and they were greated with many many kisses. They have a 3 yr old Boston at home so once Maggie gets settled in I'm sure the play will begin. She will also have a very large yard to play in. Picture 1 is Maggie in her new traveling shirt waiting. 2. Walter and his mother getting acquainted with Maggie. 3

Mandy and her puppies are doing great. They are growing so fast! And their eyes started opening yesterday which is so exciting for us! Mandy is doing much better as well, with almost no signs of her mastitis. Thank you so much for all your support getting us to where we are now - we're excited for the next steps with them.We are absolutely in love with Mandy and the three whom we are calling

We just adopted out our foster Ace. How bittersweet! Ace is normally a little skittish around new people, but he seemed to love his new family. He was a little afraid of his new big (and I mean big) brother Oreo, but I think they will be great for each other. He was a little afraid to leave with them, but when we got outside he walked away like he had known them forever. I never forget him

Many thanks to Joe and the Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee who have offered to donate sweaters to keep Teddy warm this winter.Teddy has had it rough. He was callously dumped in an overcrowded Philadelphia kill shelter when he was going blind and in a great deal of pain from untreated glaucoma. The family who left Teddy at the shelter said they no longer wanted him because he was now too

I will not eat the cats' food...

This is Lucy. Lisa Vaughan was her foster mom. Lucy now lives in upstate NY, and has since May of 2009. Lucy enjoys playing with her sister Roxy, biting at Roxy's legs, and racing around the house. She also enjoys lounging around. Lucy says thank you to NEBTR for her rescue and for her wonderful home with Mark Braunitzer.

It was March when we met Gracie Pickles. She was pulled from a breeding farm in Sunbury, PA. We were notified through NEBTR that the farmer had released 4 dogs from his mill and set them free onto the farm, hoping that they would run away or die from starvation. The dogs did not leave the farm, and the farmer told his neighbor that he would shoot the dogs if they were not gone by the weekend.

There is nothing in this world that brings me to instant tears faster then the neglect/abandonment or abuse of an elderly animal. The night I met Mom Mom dog, my life changed for good. She taught me about compassion, about what it means to love....about what it means to accept imperfection...about what it means to live life to the fullest. Mom Mom knew compassion, Mom Mom knew

Hi everyone. Just wanted you all to meet my new foster Beanie. He is my Christmas gift from Jane and Lisa and Jodi! I picked him up the Friday before Christmas as he was so freaked out at the shelter that he was being aggressive to the other dogs. I think the stress of the shelter did it to him as he is now fine with my gang. He is a handsome boy with a funny underbite (Do BT's wear braces?)

Willie the Pug (now Little Jack) has found a home!!!!! She is a really good friend of mine who stopped by for a Christmas visit. They live in Cranberry Lake NY, 4 hours from here but still has family in the area. Anyway, she fell in love with Willie and has been looking for a small dog to cuddle with. She didn't know he was available for awhile until I realized that she was gushing over him way

It is with great sadness that we report that Dot and Tommy have gone to the rainbow bridge. Both were older forever fosters who spent the last months of their lives being loved and cared for.Dot was a sweet older girl who was fostered by Malinda. She came into rescue at age 10, and was loved and adored by Malinda and her family. Dot was super sweet and affectionate, and won the hearts of all

T'was the night before Christmas... When all through the house, not a Boston was stirring, he just slept on mom's blouse. The stocking was hung by the Boston with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas had milkbones to share. The Boston was nestled all snug in his bed, while visions of pig ears danced in his head. And mamma in her kerchief and a Boston on my lap, had just settled down for a long

This is my foster boy who came in from a puppy mill with my Ivy and placed with my favorite couple Bob and Lynne. Yes I say this about all my adoptive families. You're all my favorites. Bruno was a special needs boy who lived a life in captivity producing pups with Ivy and Bob and Lynne gave him a beautiful life. He's the one who lives up the block from Billy Joel.

He is so much less nervous than he was a year ago and now he feels comfortable around all kinds of people and other dogs. He had bad PTSD nightmares for a while but they continue to decrease with time

Hi,We, (Lee Sheldon and I) just adopted Cocoa (foster Mom, Wendy Conway). I can't say enough good things about your organization, and foster Mom Wendy. NEBTR paid to remove her cataracts but went the extra mile and expense to buy her prosthetic lenses so she can actually see in focus. This was no small expense. While blind she was living in filth with 27 cats but she came to us in great

Tommy, age 14, was surrendered by his family to a shelter because he was too old. Janice and Ray Boyer rescued him, and took him to their vet.The news was not good for Tommy. He does have a stage 4 heart murmur, but no congestive heart failure. His teeth are a total disaster and the smell actually radiates into the room. There is some pain there, but the vet said to treat the teeth could

I knew they'd be a perfect fit, and Major was on his best behavior. Below is an email Amanda just sent me about Major's first two days in his new home. The only downside?

Friends, I came across this children's story and wanted to share it with you. I hope the link works. It is about what happens when your dog dies. The star is not a Boston but the story could be about a Boston, too. For those of you who have lost a beloved pet, this may help you and your children. Click here to read the story.Joan Stark.

i just wanted to give a quick update on Miss Fena. She is a little doll! She continues to gain energy and actually plays with toys on occasion with us! She walks well and overall her energy is low to moderate but an increase from when we first got her for sure. We don't even crate her any more. She sleeps in our bed (on my pillow mind you!) or on the couch while we're gone. She's eating

Mandee was a puppy mill girl, who found her way to NEBTR. Lara Anderson opened her home and her heart to her. Lara writes,"Meet our first foster, Mandee! She is 2 years old (we think). She is loving towards and likes being around our 5 year old BT, Marcel most of the time, though there is some occasional aggression in the past few days (she's already gotten a little possessive of my attention).

Hi Everyone,I am a first time foster mom with NEBTR. I just picked up Madge, our sweet senior foster on Saturday. She was abandoned so NEBTR had no history on her. She had two seizures Saturday and one more severe one on Monday. Sadly, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Madge loves walks, belly rubs and giving kisses. In spite of all that she is enduring, she is a very sweet, loving lady. We

Right here with us! Sam and I were talking about whether we could stand to let Lulu go tonight, when our two-year old daughter walked in and sat down next to Lulu. Lulu started giving her kisses and Freya said to her, "I love you too, Lulu." That made up our mind; there is absolutely no way we can let this beautiful little dog go!!! She's sitting next to me, snoring away, spooning with Abbey on

A while back, we posted a request for urgent donations to help with the medical bills and care of the many, many Bostons who have recently been in jeopardy. One of the most horrendous cases was poor Cesar, who looked like this when he found his way to animal control in September.

Anyway, we all know how Bostons just love their balls! Enjoy, and yes, he is one talented little man NEBTR saved from death. He was saved just four short hours before his time was up, and
