About Our Rescue Group

We are a volunteer group that are helping primarily Boston Terriers, Boston mixes and other small dogs when resources permit. We rescue locally and all around the country - if our need help is needed.

We do not have a shelter so there are no set visiting hours or place to visit. We foster all the dogs in foster homes in various locations.

We need foster parents!

We cannot save any dogs without volunteers to help foster our animals. Please help us to help them - become a foster parent.

Donations are gladly accepted and appreciated.
If you cannot adopt a dog, foster a dog or donate your time, we have made it easy for you to make a donation online.
Donations can be made securely by Paypal:

Come Meet our Pets

All our dogs are fostered in individual homes. Meetings are by appointment only after you have completed our online application. THANKS!

Our Adoption Process

We are very sorry, but even though we are all volunteers our vets are not and vet care is very expensive which means that we must require an adoption donation. Most of our dogs' donations are about $400 - some more - some less depending on the dog and situation:

DONATION IS BASED ON AGE OF DOG:

OVER 8 years =$300.

OVER 3 years to 8 years =$400.

OVER 1 year to 3 years =$500.

UNDER 1 year =$600.

The above donations will be in effect unless otherwise posted on each dog's description.

We often reduce donations so please check each dog's description or ask us.

If this dog is coming from outside the northeast, PLEASE add a minimum of $125 ground transport costs to the above.
*****************************************************
We use this method so that the young & healthy dogs help pay the high medical expenses on the older & sick dogs.

References listed on your application will be checked prior to any meetings with a dog. We do require a HOME VISIT PRIOR to any adoption.

Some dogs are local, but many are not - they are in various locations so it will not be possible to meet some of them before you adopt.

We only will transport the dogs if you make a firm commitment and a $200 DEPOSIT as the paid transport is costly & difficult to arrange & we do not have enough foster homes.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
