Madison's Mission
Valentine's Day. Please take the Madison's Mission Challenge and help not only the Boston Terriers and the home bound community.
Kindness brings warmth on a wintry day. On November 01, 2010 I lost my sweet Boston Terrier, Madison Hunter, due to illness. In 2012 Madison's Mission was established in her memory. One of the goals of Madison's Mission is to help Boston Terriers needing health and behavioral care as well as the needs of those being placed in foster care. Madison's Mission chooses to assist Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue (NEBTR) with their financial needs. NEBTR takes dogs into foster care for re-homing for a multitude of reasons. Their caring hands guide the dogs into new homes where they receive health & behavioral care, love and attention, sometimes for the first time in their lives. Madison's Mission is taking on a new challenge to financially help NEBTR. I am asking everyone to send me a Valentine's Day card with any denomination of quiet money enclosed in the card. All of your generous donations received will be given to NEBTR.So what happens to all the Valentine's Day Cards??? They will be donated to our local Meals On Wheels Association. The home bound citizens will receive one of your lovely cards. When I approached the local Meals On Wheels Association, Michelle was thrilled and excited to know the home bound community would receive such special cards. Please feel free to write a personal message in the card.I invite you to join Madison's Mission's Challenge by sending me your cards and quiet money to the address below by February 10, 2015. Help bring some warmth during these cold days of winter to the Boston Terriers and the home bound community. Thank you,Betty Ann Manganello 166 Tryon Park Rochester, NY 14609

He is going for surgery on Monday for a cancerous tumor.He is soooo sweet. Please keep him in your prayers; he might just be my failed foster. I love this boy so much.

After a week of ignoring the facts and refusing to think about the pain I had to face reality. I got Rosie's paw print back. Oh God, I miss her so. Conny
That's beautiful. You have my deepest sympathies, Leslie
My heart goes out to you ! Mary
Conny, I'm so sorry. I know how you feel, Ginny
I am so sorry for your loss. I send you light, love and healing thoughts, Sylvia
Lang likes her Toy!
Lang Syne never had a toy before. She picked up one of the many toys I
have around the house yesterday, but quickly put it down.
Today she picked up a yellow tuggie, the one in her welcome packet.
She carried it off to another room and she PLAYED with it!
I was thrilled to see this. I tried to play with her, but she isn't
that progressed with play yet, that might come later.
Thank you SO much for all the new foster donations that got
that toy to Lang Syne!

Happy New Year From Lucy

Chubby Thanks the Nelsons
Leroy is Doing Great
Leroy has been able to go into his crate on command and is able to recognize several command words - he is a smart cookie! But honestly, all this little man wants to do is sleep, cuddle and sleep more!

Leo is Settling In
He certainly does show some signs of anxiety but should settle in little more each day since he has already shown some improvements. We are taking it very slow and just allowing him to relax. He is very well behaved over all and a real sweetheart.

Update on Indigo
I'm happy to report that he is completely off of all medications and seizure free one year today. His family just adores him. He has a wonderful quality of life which was one thing we were uncertain of. He has a slight learning disability that causes him to forget his commands at times but nothing can get in Indy's way because one thing I'm certain of is Indigo wanted to live!
I'm so thankful for his family for taking him not knowing what his future holds. It takes special people to do that, in return they got a super special boy :)

Kristin, you put so much into saving this boy. You must be so happy to see him living the good life.

Leo Arrives at NEBTR
I just dropped Leo with his new foster mom Kristen. He's a beautiful boy, tall and lean with gorgeous brown eyes. He is anxious but is very sweet and will definitely be able to find a good home.
I promised his former owners we would make it our job to find Leo his perfect home.
Thanks to Kristen for fostering this boy!

From a Mill Dog's Point of View

What does it take to get a mill dog ready for a forever home?
First you have to get them out of the mill. In most states dogs are
property, so stealing
them is a good way to end up in jail. Most commercial breeders in
our area have
ways of disposing of unwanted breeder dogs or dogs they cannot
sell, none of
which are pleasant. But
a few of them
have found out that they can turn those dogs over to rescue and
“save a
bullet”. It is those
breeders that tell
other breeders and the number of dogs given a second chance goes
up.
Mary Kate on arrival
Ok, so now we have them, now what?
Many people think that these dogs should be
so grateful to be out of their wire prisons that they will jump
for joy, kiss
your face and be happy go lucky pups.
This could not be further from the truth.
Think about it. If
you were ripped from the only home you have ever known be it good
or bad, you
would not be too grateful to the people who are taking you away.
You would have
no idea what was in store for you, for all you know, this could be
worse than
what you had. These
people take you away
to a place you don’t know, they give you a bath – probably the
first one you
have ever had, the trim your nails and cut your hair with noisy
clippers, all
of which is new to you. You
are
terrified, and now they poke you with vaccinations, also probably
your first.
The smells, sights and sounds are different from what you know and
now they
want to touch you.
Ashley and
Mary Kate cower in the back of their crate
You have been touched before. . .every time you were needed
for breeding. The mill
owner tempted you
within reach with some food, then grabbed whatever part of you he
could get a hold of. Your
leg, the scruff of your
neck, even your tail and dragged you to another cage to be bred.
Now someone that you don’t know is reaching for you. Will
they hurt you too? Where
do they want to
take you? Your response? To lash out, bite or bolt
and get as far away
from them as you can.
Understanding what these dogs go though in the first few
days of rescue may help you understand why it is so important to
begin to work
with them immediately. Allowing
them to
sit in a kennel, terrified for weeks does nothing to help them
move forward and
can actually make it harder for them to accept human
companionship.

companionship.
Some dogs learn to trust us quickly, taking only a few days
to accept food and touching, others take months or even years,
some never
do. It depends on the
amount of time
spent in the mill, the amount and type of human contact they
received while in the mill,
and most of all the dog’s personality.
Mary Kate kisses
If these dogs are so difficult to work with, then why choose
mill rescue? The
rewards. There is no
feeling in the world like taking
dogs that have lived in cages their entire lives and set them in
the grass for
the first time, let them feel the sunshine on their backs, or feel
a breeze on
their faces. The feeling
of accomplishment
when those dogs no longer
run from you,
but come to you for a gentle touch. That
first puppy kiss can bring tears to your eyes. That is why we
choose mill rescue.
