Look fabulous and do your part to support rescue at the same

Who We Are
Austin Boston Terrier Rescue
is made up completely of hard-working volunteers who share their common love and
passion for this wonderful breed. We cover all of Central and South Texas,
including Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and all points in between and
beyond. We rescue Boston Terriers, provide all needed veterinary care, and then
foster the dogs until permanent, loving homes can be found for them. All of our
dogs are current on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered and heartworm negative and
on preventative. Additionally, we take care of any other medical problems that
are known to us.
Adopting a Friend
All of our adoptions
are done by application. The complete application process consists of reference
checks as well as a homevisit. Please contact Alissa for a
copy of the application. There is a required adoption donation for each of our
fosters. This donation covers a portion of the dogs' veterinary expenses, and
allows us to continue rescuing and caring for Boston Terriers in
need.
How to Help
We are always in need of
dedicated, compassionate people to help us in our rescue efforts. We need
assistance with fostering, transportation, processing applications and
fundraising.
We also have a wish list that includes towels, blankets and
other crate bedding, collars and leashes, nylabones, Heartgard Plus monthly
chewables (the blue box), and flea and tick preventative (topical, like
Frontline). Cash donations are also always needed and appreciated!
Other Boston Interests
We have several long term, or permanent fosters in our care. They have either
health or emotional issues that have caused us to determine that they are not
suitable candidates for adoption. However, this doesn't mean that they don't
deserve to live a good life and have all of their needs cared for. We are
starting a sponsorship program so that interested people can donate to these
wonderful dogs' care. Sponsoring one of these long term fosters simply means
pledging to send a set donation each month. No amount is too small. All funds
donated go directly to the medical needs of these foster dogs. If you are
interested in learning more about our sponsorship program, please contact Cindy
at abttri@swebell.com.
How to Contact Us
We do not have a
central facility for our foster Bostons. All of our rescue dogs are fostered in
the homes of our volunteers. For more information about our rescue program, you
may contact one of the people listed below. While we try to be very prompt in
our responses, it may occasionally take a couple of days to return emails and
phone calls. We thank you for your patience.
