We recommend anyone adopting a dog from us to use a crate to prevent any damage to your home or belongings due to separation anxiety that may not manifest itself here. We further recommend that you take the dog to OBEDIENCE classes to help teach your dog to become a good member of your family and to help you bond together.
ATTENTION: When you are approved is when you get to choose a dog from the ones that are currently available that I think will suit your needs, IF you are ready to adopt at that time !!! IF YOU ARE NOT READY to adopt at the time you are approved, then I will NOT hold a particular dog for you as I need to get these dogs out of here and not have them holding spaces that another dog needs for 2 or more weeks waiting on someone to get back from vactaion, etc. Once you are ready to adopt after you are approved is when you can choose a dog from the ones available. If I only had one or 2 dogs in it would not matter, but there are some weeks I get up to 8 new dogs into rescue and I need the space. Thank you for your understanding.
Other dogs MAY BE available that may not be listed yet as I dont' always have time to update the page daily. Some of these dogs above may have adoptions pending or have been adopted out as I don't always have time to update daily. BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT A DIFFERENT BT THAN THE ONE YOU APPLY FOR if the dog does not fit into the family dynamics or has been already adopted by someone approved before you. We do work the apps in the order we get them. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting a BT. Thank you
For local adopters, we do NOT let you take dogs on a trial basis, either you want to adopt a particular dog or you do not want to adopt a dog. These dogs have been through enough upheaval in their lives, moving them into a new home for a few days or weeks and then back to rescue would tramatize them even more. So, please do not ask me about taking the dogs on a trial basis as the answer is NO. Be sure you want to adopt a dog before you adopt it. We are always willing to take a dog back that doesn't work out, but we try to find the right fit the first time. I am looking for homes who will consider these dogs part of the family, not just dogs to try out and return if they are not perfect. No dog is perfect, whether it is rescued or not.
PLEASE NOTE: IF THE PICS ARE JUST A SQUARE WITH A X IN IT, THEN IT MEANS THAT I HAVEN"T TAKEN A PICTURE AND POSTED IT YET!!! I WILL POST A PIC AS SOON AS I TAKE ONE.

PLEASE NOTE: Adoption pending means that I am just waiting on the adoption fee or transport for the dog to go to their new home.
Please do not apply with every Texas rescue, just apply with the one that has the dog you want to adopt. Often we are working the same applications and that wastes our time when we could be working different apps and rehome more dogs. Thank you for your understanding!!! ADOPTIONS ARE BY APPLICATION ONLY!!!!

IF you have SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT A CERTAIN DOG, please feel free to email them to me, otherwise all the information that I have about the dog is right here on this page.

I process the apps in the order that I receive them, WHEN I have time between vetting, fetching dogs, home visits, my life, etc. Sometimes it is a couple of weeks before I start processing your application due to the busyiness of my schedule. IF you get another dog in the meantime, please send me an email and let me know

Feel free to look at other rescue sites that may have a dog that is just right for your family. You can check out Oklahoma Boston Terrier Rescue Main Page or a variety of others by going to my Rescue Links page and clicking on the closest rescue to you. I have them listed by state and alphabetically.

Our foster dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a rescued dog to sleep in comfort, please click here.

It costs you nothing and membership is free and easy. Each time you shop from the IGive mall, a portion of your total will be donated to ABTR. And if you sign up now, IGive.com will donate an extra $5 to ABTR with your first purchase! (Must make purchase within 45 days of signing up with IGive.com.)

Support ABTR by shopping at Cafe Press!

We offer dozens of products that feature the ABTR logo, as well as some of our rescues. Choose from t-shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, cards, hats, baby items and more!

Just click on the CafePress.com link below and browse our online store. Each and every item you purchase will help to support Bostons in need.

We at American Boston Terrier Rescue have no sponsers, subsidies, grants or other steady supporter paying for the vetting care of the rescue rescue dogs. All vet bills, dog food and anything else the dogs need are paid for out of the adoption donations and my own pocketbook. Any Donations are appreciated. If you would like to donate items for the rescue dogs, Please Click here for a list of items I would like to have.

Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting a dog from me as I do not keep a list of persons and what they are looking for in a boston unless i have the application that I can pull that information from. Thank you.
