There is no greater kindness that a human can do but to comfort an old dog

DON'T leave spilled antifreeze when doing automobile maintenance.  

Just a teaspoon can kill a dog.  Use the new stuff that tastes bad if you can find it !!!!!!

Important Notices for Cold Weather

 

It's That time of the year when the air is usually dry and your dog may be miserable

For Happy eyes for dogs: 

Use 1 or 2 drops of Equate  (or an  equivalent brand) gentle lubricant eye drops in each eye of an older dog once or twice each day.  Check the back panel of any brand for "Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose 0.3%"  That's the correct lubricant.  

You can also check Fannie Mae's website for more potential options at Fannie Mae

Don't forget, Bostons have short snouts and thin little fur pelts.   They don't have any "pre-heating" for breathing like many dogs and they chill quickly.   Pneumonia is a real potential life threatening problem and it doesn't take long.

Short, quick visits for personal business are critical.   

They're NOT outside dogs !!

If You Need to Surrender Your Dog and You're Serious about Wanting Help


If you have a Boston Terrier for whom you can no longer care, contact us at 865.983.3272 or email us at info@bostonterriertn.org instead of taking your dog to a shelter or call the Boston Terrier rescue nearest you.

 

Once at a shelter an "owner surrender" dog is typically euthanized (killed) within three days and in some cases, within the same hour depending on overcrowding.

 

Waiting 'till the last minute to call a rescue is NOT a good idea for the dog.  We're NOT sitting around waiting for your phone call and rescue stays loaded.

 

You must have the dog up to date on shots and vet records available to us.  We are all volunteers and we survive on donations, volunteers and charity.  Many times people call, ask for help and then disappear.   It wastes valuable time for both US and the DOG and if you call, it's YOUR responsibility stay keep in communication if you want our help.

 

If you really want help your dog, you're going to have to communicate and do it promptly with all the materials we ask you to send or we simply won't be able to help

More than 1/3 of the nearly 8 million dogs annually euthanized in the United States are dumped there by their "protectors," the losers they trusted, their owners and families.  The chances of them being adopted are slim.  

A dog dies every eight seconds in a shelter somewhere, shaking and scared, waiting desperately to be saved by somebody, anybody.  Most of them don't even have names anymore.  They have only their dignity.

With these staggering numbers, every time a puppy or kitten is purchased at a pet store like Petland, or from a back yard breeder or from some loser at a flea market, an older dog or cat or a litter of pups or kittens somewhere gets a death sentence.  It's not just inhumane, it's shameful to profit from killing.

Remember too these brave kids, dying at shelters just hoping and waiting patiently for someone to come for them.  It doesn't seem too much to ask.

For Adoption of those VERY SPECIAL Boston Terriers:

 Bostons generally do NOT do well with young children.  We'll be glad to discuss this with you but you need to know this is a big concern upfront for us.

Click above for The Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee's Petfinder Site

Or, Here's the Shortcut Below Directly to Our Beautiful Kids

Please keep in mind, we have foster parents and adoptable Boston Terriers in Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, North and South Carolina and we have sister Rescues in these as well as many other states as well.

This is Eddie the Beagle Seymour and he's an Exception to Most of the Dogs

He LOVES kids, LOVES to RUN and BARKS a LOT (Like a Beagle)

Check him out on the Website Below

~For our Own Big and Little Kids~

Even if you're not quite ready to adopt a Boston of your own, you can help a great deal for medical procedures for sick and injured Bostonians with a special gift for a little dog, many of whom are too old or too sick to be adopted.  

Checks are always appreciated in any amount and if you're interested, please call or email us for more information.

Some people aren't able to adopt but do enjoy sponsoring dogs. Without donations and sponsors, we are limited to how much we can help these poor little souls. 

Rescue has also become a sanctuary for older, sick, disabled or otherwise "un-adoptable" dogs.  We have many living happily in foster homes who're being made possible by your kind support.

They don't need to be a special needs dog to need a sponsor. All dogs need sponsors and somebody special in their life.  Dogs need families too and they'll never let YOU down.

I  RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today
