AMERICAN BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE

We are a small, dedicated group of Boston Terrier-loving volunteers based in North Texas. While we are currently awaiting our 501(c)3 status, we're busy rescuing, training, transporting, vetting, coordinating and fundraising. All for the love of our chosen breed, the Boston Terrier.

All Bostons that come into ABTR are fully vetted, heartworm checked, spayed/neutered and lived with to ensure a good fit into a new home. We never turn away a Boston in need.

ALL Bostons deserve a loving home. We accept all Bostons, regardless of age or health.
(We will not accept dogs that exhibit human aggression or are excessively dog aggressive.)

Please note that the adoption process begins with an adoption application. Incomplete apps will not be considered.

We are not a shelter and do not have visiting hours. All our Bostons are fostered in loving private homes.

All adoptions require an adoption fee.

Payment options include cash, money order, cashiers check or paypal.

ABTR is a non-profit rescue organization. All fees and donations are applied to Boston Terriers in need.
