My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I might be 13 years old, but don’t let the number fool you—I’ve still got plenty of pep in my step! I’m a 14.5-pound Boston Terrier with a big heart, a love for sunshine, and a soft spot for squeaky toys. Life’s thrown me a few curveballs (I’m missing an eye and a leg, and my hearing isn’t what it used to be), but I haven’t let that slow me down one bit. I love being outside, sniffing the breeze, and feeling the sun on my face. I’ll happily trot around the yard or curl up for a cozy nap afterward. I’m house trained, crate trained, and a total pro on car rides—just say the word and I’m ready to roll. Because I can’t hear very well, I can get startled if someone sneaks up on me, especially in my crate. I might snap if I’m scared, so I’m looking for a calm, understanding home without young kids. But don’t worry—I’m a sweet, gentle soul once I know I’m safe. I get along great with other dogs and even cats, and I’ve still got a playful streak when the toys come out. I may be a little wobbly, but I move around just fine and I’m always up for a little adventure. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of gratitude and a spark of spunk, I just might be your guy. I’ve come a long way—and now I’m ready to enjoy the good life with someone who sees how special I really am. My adoption fee is $100, but if you are a senior yourself (65+), my adoption fee is waived.

Thank you for your continued support in our rescue efforts!



We are always looking for good foster homes. These homes allow us to rescue more Boston Terriers in need because we have a place for them to go until they are adopted. Please consider becoming a foster home for Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas. You can fill out a foster application at Foster Application | Boston Terrier Rescue Of North Texas. This will allow you to possibly become a foster home for one of our little Boston Terriers in need. Thank you for considering the possibility of fostering for Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Upon approval of your adoption application, an Adoption Coordinator will contact you via email or telephone to match you/your family with one of our available Boston Terriers. Once a dog has been identified as a good match for the home, the foster home will contact you to schedule a time to meet the dog as well as conduct the home visit. If you pass the home visit and the meet and greet goes well (the dog is a good match for your home/family and any existing pets in the home) a 72-hour trial period will begin at that time. The foster will collect the signed adoption contract as well as the adoption fee prior to leaving. Once the 72-hour trial period has expired, the adoption will be finalized.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our Bostons are in foster homes. An application must be filled out and approved prior to meeting any of our dogs.

More about this rescue

The Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas began in the late 1980's when it became evident that there was a need to help Bostons in need. Thus, the humble beginnings of the Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas. Calls poured in weekly from pounds and individuals about Bostons of all sizes, ages, shapes and colors needing homes. Rescue of today is one that is dedicated to educating the general public about making good choices when selecting a breed and, secondly, the right Boston for their situation. Over 1,000 Boston Terriers have been successfully adopted to loving homes since we began. It is through hard work and dedication to this very active and amusing breed that this organization can contribute its successes. "Thank you" to all of you who believe in recycling love.

We help dogs with serious medical problems because we believe, whenever possible, that every dog should have a chance for a happy, healthy life. Unfortunately, our veterinary expenses often far exceed the amount of the adoption donation, and we must rely on dog lovers like you to provide financial assistance.
