My story

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

Sonya was a breeder dog that we feel didn't have much contact with humans or other dogs. She was afraid to be petted and wanted to stay in her bed most of the time.



She has made a lot of progress since being in a foster home the last 4 weeks. She has learned that petting and massages feel good. She is interacting more with other dogs and humans.



Sonya is sleeping in the bed with her foster mom and sibling dogs, but she has to be picked up and put on the bed and lifted back off. 



She has not shown any aggression and is good with cats.



Still working on the housetraining and working on going outside, she is afraid to be outside.



Her new home would be with someone to show her love and patience. She is an extremely sweet girl. Good in a home with or without dogs. It scares her when your voice is raised even though it is not directed at her and is also scared of storms. 



Sonya has just now started going into the kitchen to eat out of the bowls instead of the food being brought to her. She won't take a treat from your hand but will eat it if you lay it down.



For weeks she has stayed mostly in her bed but recently she has chosen to stay in an open crate.



Sonya has made so much progress, and her new family will need to help her continue the progress.



Please email her foster mom, Jan at jan1197523@aol.com if you have any more questions about this sweet little girl.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is generally based on the dog's age and provides for neutering or spaying, all required shots, heartworm testing (we endorse "the new moxie-doxy" treatment for heart worms).

It is our expectation & a requirement that heartworm preventative be continued as well as any required vet visits after the pet is adopted.

If for some reason a match isn't made the first time around and you are approved, we will keep your application on file for the next opportunity to arise. Our primary goal is to place a dog in the most suitable environment, based on the animal's individual needs and its temperament. The commitment is lifelong and the Boston's interests are always foremost.

More about this rescue

All breeds have their own particular needs and rescued pets often have special requirements as well, very often in want of medical care, often lacking nourishment and kindness, and often expensive to rehabilitate.

Because we have had Boston Terriers for many years, we are very familiar with their habits, peculiarities and their special needs.

We operate across the southeast under the auspices of the Boston Terrier Rescue Network. We share information and resources in all of the USA with affiliated Boston Rescues.
