Wanted to share Winston's tap dance with everyone. Hopefully this big fat dork will make ya smile! ;)

Adoptable Pup Wishlist! PENNY
Oh, and I forgot to mention one other thing... Until I find my forever home, I could use a few things to help me get by at my foster mom's house. As I mentioned, I didn't come with much. I would be so grateful to have a bed of my own... And some treats! Might I be so lucky?!

Adoptable Pup Spotlight! PENNY
Adoptable Pup Spotlight! PENNY
Oh friends, I am so happy to see you! It seems like only yesterday I was tied to a porch, scared and alone with no toys or even a bed.
My foster mom says I'm a lucky girl, and so she calls me Penny. I love my new name - and my new life. My foster mom tells me there's something called a "forever home," a place where I will go and the people there will love me unconditionally. They will snuggle with me, scratch my bum, give me kisses and food and treats, and I never have to be abandoned again. I can't believe such a wonderful place exists, and I am so excited to find it.
Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a REALLY good girl. I am fun and energetic, but also know when to chill out and hang in my crate. I love being around people, but I'm also okay to hang alone for awhile. I haven't met anyone (or anything) I don't like! Dogs, cats, kids, strangers, you name it - I'm okay with it!
I guess I should mention my "disabilities," even though they really don't bother me! But for the sake of full disclosure, I only have one eye, and I am partially (maybe fully) deaf. I have such a great attitude though, that these things don't slow me down or make me sad. If anything, they just make me more special.
Not to boast, but I'm pretty sure I would make a perfect companion to just about anyone. The vet estimates I'm 2-4 years old, and have no other health issues.
The only thing that needs permanent fixing is my heart - and I think it will be a pretty easy recovery The only thing that would make this Penny luckier would be to have a family who will love me forever.
Won't you consider adopting me? Please fill out an application for me atwww.nebostonrescue.org. If you are reading this and already have an application pending, comment below and let NEBTR know!

Congraulations to Cody
2014 NEBTR HALLOWEEN CONTEST
THE VOTES ARE IN!
WINNER WITH 175 VOTES IS
CODY
THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED AND ALL WHO VOTED!
1037 TOTAL VOTES
Runners up were:
OBEE with 165 votes
BUDDY with 83 votes
ZUZU with 71 votes
ROCKY with 66 votes
His mom Elsa Piccinich writes:
When we first entered Cody into the Halloween contest, votes were very slow coming in. I decided I needed to raise awareness of Cody and NEBTR by launching a rigorous campaign. I promised my friends and family that if Cody got enough votes, my husband and I would post a picture of the two of us wearing the matching Boston Terrier PJs! Well votes started rolling in! So while my friends and family obviously wanted to see us in those PJs, they also knew that every dollar they voted was going to a great cause! The real winners are NEBTR and all the pups that are going to get the loving care they need. I'm so proud of my generous friends and family, and of course my Cody!

Becky Goes to the Rainbow Bridge
It's with much sadness that I am writing to say that our Becky passed over the Rainbow Bridge this evening.
She collapsed after going out to potty, and I picked her up and held her, and she passed peacefully in my arms.
Even if it seems impossible, I fell in love with her for the 2 short weeks that she was with us.
I knew that she was not well, and at 12 years old, did not have time on her side. I just didn't expect her to pass so soon.
I've attached some photos that I took last week, when I had hopes we could enjoy more time together.
Please hug your senior dogs, and think of us.
Loretta Dolan
Oh Loretta, I'm so very sorry. Thank you for giving her the gift of love and happiness at her end, I know she felt safe to cross with you being there.
Loretta, she was so beautiful. I am so sorry she left you too soon.
I am so sorry for your loss. Those two weeks she was with you were a lifetime of joy for her, I'm sure, in your care. I can imagine how attached to her you were, and I am so sorry you have to go through this. Run free sweet girl with all our friends up there.

Loretta, she was so beautiful. I am so sorry she left you too soon.
Her family dumped her at a city shelter and you went and brought her immediately to the warmth and love of your home.
You were there for her in her greatest hour of need.
Thank you for loving this beautiful fragile lady.You were there for her in her greatest hour of need.

New Foster Caius
I picked up Caius last night from the humane society of Easton, PA. He looked so sad sitting in his crate. As soon as they released him from the crate he ran over to me and showered me with kisses. We had an hour drive home, and I didn't hear a single sound from him. He explored the house and seemed curious of everything around him. He went right outside and used the bathroom...no accidents so far! We leash introduced him to the other 4 dogs in the house and he did wonderful. His tail was wagging the entire time and he was was giving them all kisses. We left him in the dining room separated from everyone and he whimpered a little then settled down. He is a very active boy, definitely acts like he's 3. I made an appointment at our vet next week to have his cherry eye examined. Will update more as he settles in!
Amanda Unger
Fosters: Vegas & Caius
He is so beautiful Amanda - thank you for getting him so quickly. This is a wonderful way to start the morning...all this happy news puts a smile on your face!
Thanks so much Amanda for taking him in. :)

Adoptable Pup Wishlist! PETUNIA
Oh, hello dear friends. Petunia here.
I'm one of NEBTR's newest fosters, and I am so happy to be with my foster mom Melanie. She takes such great care of me.
You see, I've had a tough life. It's only been 4 years so far, but I've suffered from being in a puppy mill. My teeth are damaged, I have had frostbite, and I lost an eye. Life hasn't been easy for me, but I have HOPE. And now that I am LOVED, I think I will be able to keep going.
I wanted to see if perhaps you could send me a little something. I came with nothing... not even a bed to call my own. My foster mom has a lot of stuff for me, but we could use a few tiny trinkets. Could you find it in your heart to help me?

Thank you friends. I look forward to finding my furever home with one of you soon!

Adoptable Pups Spotlight! WINSTON and DAISY
Adoptable Pups Spotlight! WINSTON and DAISY
This adorable, inseparable pair is ready to be adopted... TOGETHER! The 10 and 12-year-old duo is looking for their forever home, and promises boatloads of fun for whoever adopts them
Here's a little about each:
Daisy is laid back, sweet, and loves attention. She gets attached to her human(s) and loves to follow them around. You'll usually find her with a tennis ball in her mouth (even if it's not being thrown, she just likes to have it), she loves belly rubs, treats, bones and cuddling. She does well around dogs and children, and has not been around cats yet. She would do best in a home that would allow her frequent potty breaks. Prior to being rescued, Daisy was in her crate for 10-12 hours per day, but would prefer to be out and about most of the day. She does not have accidents in her crate. She is a little bit scared of stairs, and her foster mom carries her down them - so she would do a home without too many. She doesn't have any medical issues except with her eye, which was removed in foster care - and has actually made her more spunky!
Winston is a big old attention hog and LOVES being the center of attention! He's a bit of a diva - he cries a little if you don't give him a treat after he goes potty! Another little quirk - he does a tap dance when you ask him to sit... Winston is sure to have you laughing - he has quite the personality! He is okay around dogs he is familiar with, but sometimes gets snappy around stranger dogs. Winston needs a family that will help him with a little more obedience training, but is VERY motivated by treats! Winston would do best in a home without small children since he can get grumpy when startled.
This brother and sister would be a great addition to any home looking for a dynamic and fun duo. They are sure to keep you laughing! If you are interested in adopting Winston and Daisy, please fill out an application on our website: www.nebostonrescue.org.

Boscoe is Adopted
Boscoe is settling in to his new home outside of Wilkes Barre, PA. He now lives with Ray and his aide Gale. Ray is fighting MS and will be home all day, almost everyday to cuddle with Boscoe. He even agreed he could sleep under the blankets with him!
Thanks all,
Kendra
Update on Glory - On the Lookout!
Jeanne Dross
Hey Jeanne,
Thanks for checking in! Nothing but thumbs up for Glory! We were just talking last night about how much he has changed already in the really short time that we have had him. He's turning into a great leash walker, with the stop and drop thing that he was doing almost completely gone. Our closest park is a 3 mile loop in the woods and he loves it! Working on more simple commands as well. His overall interaction is much different as well. He's clearly more relaxed and comfortable!
Enclosed is a picture of his favorite spot. He sleeps during the day on that top cushion, and keeps an eye out of the window on who is coming and going. That's the other big change. He doesn't really worry anymore when we leave!!
