Izzy, a gorgeous, younger Boston Terrier, has incontinence issues. We have had Izzy since she was a baby. She is now only 4 years old, and is a total love. She is full of typical Boston Terrier energy and very committed to those who care for her. We have used a T-shirt/diaper combo as shown in the smaller of the two photos below to best manage her condition. These half-shirts are readily available for purchase, and in connection with them we have used a number 1 or 2 size diaper, cut a hole for the tail, and then secured the ensemble with an old fashioned diaper pin. It works really well, and she functions perfectly well in her outfit.
History: My wife and I once ran a senior, special needs and end-of-life animal sanctuaries called, A Chance for Bliss.

As you may or may not be aware, my wife and I had a dramatic collapse after I had a nervous breakdown in September of 2011. In quick succession our world came apart. What we had spent our lives building vanished in what seemed like a second. Lots has been written about us, good and bad, but in the end I will still stand behind the 12 years of sanctuary and rescue work we have done, and the many animals we served. We are now 18 months from the beginning of the end, and Deanna and I are in the final stages of completing our life together. We are divorcing, the house is being sold via short sale, and we will be moving on, albeit in different directions. Without rehashing all of the particulars, all but 1 of the animals has been placed with other organizations or individuals, but we urgently need help finding a home for the last one, Izzy
NWIPR IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER REGISTERED NON-PROFIT 501c3 PUBLIC CHARITY
Your adoption donation is used to care for and vet the many dogs that enter into rescue from overcrowded shelters where their time is running out-ultimately they are on death row. Your adoption donation goes directly to the care of the many dogs that enter into rescue. All dogs leave rescue vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, and medically checked out. In some cases they receive dentals, ear flush, surgeries, and so on to ensure that they are healthy and ready to be adopted. Your adoption donation is very much appreciated and needed to help care for the many needy dogs that enter into rescue. New adopters receive a FREE exam coupon at a local veterinary clinic in Lynnwood OR a $30 care voucher to a veterinary chain (so be sure to ask about these coupons if you are interested). NOTE: Please do not email for more dog info. This is all the info available until approved application is received and then you can talk directly to that dog's foster home for further info. Thank you!
NWIPR's adoption process includes completion of an adoption application, a vet check, screening, in person meeting, a home visit and a lifetime adoption contract. NWIPR is the pet's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general and unique needs, therefore adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right to refuse service and adoption for any reason.
PLEASE NOTE: The information contained within this pet's biography is based on observations from the current foster home. NWIPR is very honest about the pet's behavior and needs (and provides up to date information), we cannot guarantee they will behave in the same manner in a different environment with new owners as individual household dynamics vary greatly.
CONSIDER FOSTERING A DOG
***Do you or someone you know have the desire to help a rescue dog? If you have a loving heart, dog experience, a safe and secure yard and the notion to make a difference, please consider fostering a rescue dog. There are MANY dogs that we just do not have room for and just one person can make a world of difference to a dog that needs a safe place to rest his or her weary paws.....***
