The Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee is an established 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing. rehabilitating and rehoming Boston Terriers. We rely solely on the kindness of our donors, and the income of fundraisers, partnerships and grants to sustain our establishment. For more than a decade, we have pulled Boston Terriers from deadly and desperate situations. We feel it's our obligation to give these dogs the care they need - temporarily until they find a home, or for life.

Many of the dogs come to us broken - sometimes emotionally and other times physically from abuse or neglect. Our network of volunteers and foster homes has provided assistance to thousands of Boston Terriers, Boston Terrier mixes and other dogs in need. Our foster-based outreach means that rescued dogs get the one-on-one home life they desperately need and deserve while awaiting their forever families. 

We feel that the lives of all dogs, and in our circumstance the lives of the "American Gentleman," should be respected, preserved and cherished.

All donations made to Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.
