Hint: 10 lb Vivi bullies 45 lb Zeus right out of his bed!
--Jerrilyn Walter
I think he has a crush on her! And there's my boy Chester! That is too cute! Poor Zeus. He just doesn't quite fit in that small bed. He gets that girlz rule---go Vivi!!!
Here I am at my new foster home. I don't quite understand it yet, but I've had a walk, had some treats and ran in the yard. Now I'm on the big bed cause someone said there would be a big sunny spot there later. Now where did that Benny go?
Madison is a beautiful energetic girl of 8 yrs. I tried to do the slow introduction to Benny and the house, but she keeps jumping over the gate. Now the house is quiet and the pups are napping in different rooms. I guess I'll just have to stay really close just in case, but so far they are being good together. They spent some time in my neighbors big fenced in yard and chased each other a little and got the preliminary body parts sniffing accomplished.
Meet Silas. Hes 10 and will be coming in to NEBTR soon. He once had a flea infestation which left his skin a mess..hes working on getting back in tip top shape...hes reported to love love love children!
As you know, puppy mill survivor Mandy was adopted this week by Trish VanSkyver and family.
Here is a video that shows her transformation from scared survivor to being ready for her forever home. Thanks to foster mom Leslie Kaucic for always being there for this little girl so that she could know love for the first time in her life and be ready for a forever family.
Mandy was adopted Saturday by Trish and Al Vanskiver. It was a tearful goodbye and extremely hard letting her go. Mandy is a mill survivor that I had for over 8 months, doing my best to teach her how to be a normal dog. This girl was so damaged some of you may remember how she was paralyzed with fear and hid behind my toilet the first night. I fell in love. Watching her grow was an amazing experience. I did not know when this day would come, she was welcome here as long as she needed to be. It takes someone special to want to adopt a dog like Mandy, Trish knew everything and wants to give Mandy the loving forever home she deserves. They are wonderful people! I know Mandy is stressed in a new environment but she is doing better than expected. Picture of her and new Mom(looks like she’s smiling) and one with new sister Libby!

Welcome Winston:
We wish you all the best! You are in loving hands!
Okay folks. Jack is a real mellow boy. He walks well on the leash, knows "sit', and is happy playing with a tennis ball. He is isolated in the laundry room for now but has met my guys through the gate. His tail wagged the whole time and he acted like he wanted to go play with them. his teeth are bad so Christine will have to get a dental done. He had trouble eating hard treats. I fed him a mixture of some small kibble mixed with some Innova senior formula canned food and some broth. he scarfed it right down. he is thin but not scrawny. He was found as a stray in Murray NY and the person who found him kept him for two weeks and tried to find his owner (no chip of course) and then gave him to animal control. They have had him about a month. He did not want to stay in the crate for the ride home (cried) so I took him out and put him in the seatbelt I have for my guys and he loved it, put his paws up by the window and looked outside the whole way home. He has done his business outside with no problem. He obviously wants to be with people and I will spend some one on one time with him tomorrow. Christine has contacted me already so we will make arrangements for the transfer. Shelter gave him the rabies but held everything else until Christine can get a titer done. He is a lovable little guy and will make someone a great companion. I am attaching some pictures - could not get a really good one as he is very fast. The first one is how he looked a hour after we got here - he just curled up and took a nap. So cute.
Joan S Ontario NY.
Thanks to Joan for getting Jack out of the shelter and to Christine Morse for opening up her heart and home to this boy!

Meet Jack, my one eyed wonder dog. He is the Boston Terrier boy I pulled from the shelter today. He was found as a stray in Murray NY and had been at the shelter for about a month. He loved the ride home and wanted to look out the window the whole time.
Thank you Joan for getting him out of the Shelter and into the safe hands of Christine.
Brought to you by Animal Planet; for the next 5 days, we will be bringing you 5 facts about the Boston Terrier breed including the significance of a black dot that appears on the head of some dogs.
Fact # 5
They're True Americans
During the 1870s, fanciers in Boston, Mass. began breeding a strongly built dog
with a blocky head, developed from a cross between an English bulldog and the
white English terrier, which no longer exists today. Originally the dogs were known as
"Round Heads," but in 1891 they were renamed Boston terriers to reflect the
breed's birthplace. Two years later, to the delight of the breed's supporters, the
AKC officially recognized the Boston terrier. The Boston was one of the first
American breeds to be recognized by the AKC. During the next century, through
careful selection of breeding stock, dedicated fanciers methodically worked to
bring out the pleasing features seen in today's Boston terriers -- compact body,
distinctive coat markings and expressive dark eyes.
Over the years the breed has been a favorite canine companion to both old and
young. "A Boston terrier can be a child's rough-and-tumble best buddy, or a
senior citizen's soul mate and confidante," proclaims the Boston Terrier
Thanks so Sara McLaughlin, NEBTR will be featured on a segment of Station 6abc in Philadelphia on November 30 at the 9:30 am newscast. Sara spearheaded a contest to vote for NEBTR, and just got the good news that we won! It will also be posted on their website after airing so we will all be able to see it.
I was watching my daughter Meagan catch the bus in front of our house and I turned around and this is what I saw:

I fostered Neo 4 years ago when he was 10 and right after I got him I
adopted him (you just couldn't help it he was such a sweetie). Well,
after I got him we realized he was losing his hearing (which he totally
lost) and then went on to have cataracts, glaucoma which caused him to
be blind in one eye and almost blind in the other. He started about 1-1
1/2 years ago with demetia and then about 6 months ago renal failure.
Today he had a seizure and I brought him back to the vet for the last
time. My Babyman (his nickname) is in heaven with my other boston I
adopted, Loretta, and is running free hearing and seeing everything!
We
are heartbroken but will go on. My 3 year old Stella who I fostered 2
years ago and then adopted, (lol yes I don't foster well) is looking for
her buddy.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet babyman. What a wonderful life you gave him and for him to know your love.
Find healing & comfort in your memories. Run free Neo!! Go play with the angels!
Cabbage Patch was picked up Sunday morning. Her condition was not very good; her breathing is labored, her bones feel like paper and her tongue hangs out of her mouth. One of our intake coordinators, Jerrilyn took her home and fed her pieces of turkey and mashed pumpkin. she is very hungry! She has problems eating so we will get her checked to see what is going on in her mouth. This baby wants to live and took her bath well, especially the warm blankets she was wrapped in afterwards. She is alert, hungry and trying to smell things. We will continue to give you updates, today she is going to see the vet with her foster volunteer, Linda.
Good Luck little Cabbage Patch!! We are pulling for you - your safe now.
