New Foster Otis

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Morning NEBTR!

He's here and wow, what a dog! He's amazing, sweet, and a total snuggler. It's been less than 24 hours and we're probably still in the honeymoon phase, but he seems like such a sweet boy!

We do see some challenges with integrating the pack but more from the perspective of our cranky Boston than from him. We are the leaders of our pack though and we're reminding our pups of that, being especially diligent!

In the meantime here are some pictures! We believe that he's Boston/Boxer mix. Initially through pictures we thought pit but his body frame is way too slight and in person we both immediately knew he had boxer in him!

Thank you for all the love and support we've gotten so far - you're all doing such amazing things to help these Bostons - it restores my faith in humans!

Warm Regards,

Sarah

 

Thank you so much for caring for Otis Sarah!

Spike’s Progress

 

 

I just wanted to make mention that today Spike's harness was too tight
and had to be loosened!
:)
Here are 2 photos. One the day after he arrived (note the big hole he
chewed in his bed :-/) The other was just taken yesterday, same bed,
bigger dog. :)

But Mom, I don't WANT to share my bed! :)

Update on Ume and Boshi

 

Thank you for the anniversary card.  We have since adopted a second BT from your group and named him Boshi.  It took a little time for them to get adjusted to each other.  They spend a lot of the day wrestling and playing fetch with a small kickball.  They are the joy in our life and we are so happy we found them.  

I have attached a picture of Ume (Red and White) adopted July 09 and Boshi (Black and White) adopted March 12.

Thank you again for all that you do for Boston Terriers!

Love,

Tracy and Nick

Chica Shares Her Bed

Chica's new donated bed is doing double foster duty! Foster Molly decided it was too comfy to resist so she decided she needed to test it out and see if could fit two old girls...apparently it can.

Thank you to the wonderful person who bought it for her!

Star is Adopted

 

 

 

My beautiful foster girl Star was adopted this weekend.  She didn't look one part Boston, mostly beagle but I just saw the group’s newest foster named Moxy who is a beagle/boston mix, so maybe Star does have some Boston in her!  She was adopted by my sister and her boyfriend.  She is living her new life in NH close to a beautiful river with tons of walking trails!  We will miss her terribly but we're so glad my sister adopted her so we can still see her!

 

Happy ending for this wonderful girl!!  They can't wait to take her hiking around their house.  They live near a river with beautiful walking trails.  She will also visit my mom for boa trides and trips to the ice cream place.  I attached a picture of my sister and Eric with Star and my mom's house.

Congratulations, Pam.  It looks like Star will have a great life.

Late!

Jax Says Thanks

 

Hi;

Meet our new foster Jax. He is sooooo handsome - he is 9 yrs young and has a heck of a lot more energy than me or my two BT's (5 & 6 yrs old). He can roll over, sit, lay, balance a cookie on his nose and high five. He walks like a perfect gentlemen on a leash (a bit of a stubborn old man when he catches a good smell), doesn't seem to overheat too easily so walking until he is tired is mandatory; has a nice pace and does not run or pull. All bathroom habits are confined to outside and NO accidents, not even on his first night. Does NOT jump on furniture/beds and his place is on his bed. 

His nicknames (Jim nicknames everything/everyone) are Jax the Nipper and Action Jaxtion. He has a severe case of anxiety, doesn't take to other dogs (yet), and nips a bit. I say that gently because he doesn't really bite (clamp down) but he will tell you where he doesn't like being touched or picked up and sometimes he is just old man ornery, but its OK because he is so darn cute!

 

Pics attached and Jax says "Thank you NEBTR for all my new toys, bones and blanket!" sure was nice of you!!!

Stacie, 

Congratulations on your fostering and getting Jax acclimated to your home.

I LOVE the blankie picture. I'm a blankie freak and tuck all my dogs in every night with their own!!

Jax is adorable. Thanks for taking him in and giving him some normalcy.

Chiquita Says Thank You

 

A generous donor sent extra beds from the Amazon Wish List and one is going to good use for Chiquita to lounge in...she LOVES it! She jumped in it right away. Thank you!!!!

Lulu Goes to the Rainbow Bridge

 

We are saddened to report that Lulu has gone to the rainbow bridge.    Lulu was rescued from a West Virginia puppy mill by Laura Guyer Rieger the “Madonna of the Mills.”  She was then fostered by Renee Posey, who found that she was just too special not to keep forever.

 

She had a wonderful life with Renee and her husband, and was cherished every day.  Sadly, her time with them was too short.  Lulu was on her bed when she left for work, but when she came home Lulu was in her bed dead. Renee said she looked like she was sleeping, just curled up in her usual spot.  Lu was at the vet on the 16th and got a good bill of health.  However,  she was in a puppy mill for years and years without care and jammed in a little crate.

 

Our sympathy goes out to Renee and her family, and thank you for loving her and for making her last years so happy.

New Fosters Pablo and Chicki

 

Hi everyone,

This is Pablo and Chicki.

Pablo is about two years old and Chicki about three years old.  Chicki has the thin white blaze on her head -  Pablo's is so thin it is barely visible.

They were surrendered by a man who was a long-haul trucker.  While he was away, the dogs were with his girlfriend and children, and they kept "getting out".  He reported that he had received a number of tickets due to them getting out, and realized he should give them up.  He reported that he only had them a few months, and that he had gotten them from a friend who had bred Chicki (she has definitely had at least one litter).

They are both sweet and adorable - Pablo looks like he may be part Frenchie.  They seem to be in good health and were both recently spayed and neutered and up-to-date on their shots.  Pablo has some skin irritation - will find out what that is when they see our vet to get their stitches out (there was an organization that originally received them that did the spay/neuter/shots last Friday before turning them over to us, so they haven't seen our vet yet).  They are about 20 pounds each.

They are housetrained - no accidents.  They know basic commands but are inconsistent in obeying them.  They walk nicely - Pablo is still a little resistant to walking, but they do not pull at all.

At this time, I would say they can be adopted together, which would be great as they do seem close, or Pablo could go to any home and Chicki to a home without other dogs.  I don't see Pablo being any trouble with children - he doesn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his body - he just wants love, love, and more love.

 Foster George on my lap with his foster siblings .  Everyone was dry  after bathtime.  George had only had his nails done at the vet previously but today he let me dremel them with lots of treats to keep him calm.  Yay George!

He looks great, Cindy.  I'm sure he feels like he hit the lottery.
