Are you facing difficulties with your Boston Terrier and considering giving them up for adoption? Before you make that decision, we want to try to help you find solutions that will allow you to keep your dog. We have extensive experience dealing with various behaviour issues and can offer suggestions and recommend professionals who can work with you and your dog to change problem behaviours. If you’re interested, please email us and tell us more about your situation.
We understand that sometimes keeping your dog just isn’t possible. By contacting BTRC, a rescue dedicated to the breed, you have your dog’s best interests at heart. We know you have made a difficult decision, and we will do our best to help. Your dog will receive any necessary vet care, and our thorough screening process will match them with a safe and loving home that’s right for their needs.

We do not have a central shelter facility; instead, we volunteer from our private homes. Like you, we have jobs, families and pets to care for in addition to our rescue work. We try our best to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours but if you don't hear from us within a few days, or it is an emergency situation, please email or leave a voicemail to let us know.
As we have a limited number of foster homes, and not all foster homes will be appropriate for each surrendered dog, we may not be able to take your dog immediately and we can't that guarantee we can accept all dogs into foster care. We kindly ask for your patience while we do our best to make arrangements for your pet.
Most people have good intentions when offering their pets for free in online ads. They genuinely care about their animals and are not motivated by making money. Their aim is to find a responsible and loving family for their pet.
However, it's important to be aware that there are dishonest and cruel people who scan these ads to find free pets. They then sell them for profit by any means necessary. These people are very skilled at what they do and can be very persuasive. They know all the "right" answers to your questions because they do this all the time. Sometimes, they even use children to appeal to the emotions of the pet owner and present themselves as a "perfect" family.
What could happen to an animal listed in a “Free To Good Home” ad, either on the Internet, a bulletin board or in the local newspaper?
Be honest and accurate. Fill out with as much detail as possible. You will also be asked for recent photos of your dog and all veterinary records.
Our Team will review the information provided to determine if we have an open foster available and whether or not your dog is a fit for our rescue.
We’ll reach out for more information or answers to any questions we may have. Please keep an eye on your spam/junk folder as our emails can end up there.
If it has been determined that your dog is a good fit for our organization, we will contact you to make arrangements to transfer the dog into our care.
If your dog is not a good fit or if we do not have room at this time, we will try our best provide you with alternative resources.
