My story

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

Hi there! My name is Alex, and I’m a 1-year-old Boston Terrier boy weighing in at 16 pounds of pure love. I may be small, but I’ve got a big heart and the sweetest spirit you’ll ever meet. My favorite place in the world is snuggled up under the covers with my humans. I’m happiest when I’m close, soaking up all the love. I’m gentle and easygoing with other dogs, as long as they are not dominant or much larger than me.  I love making new friends. Even though I’m crate trained and know how to use the doggy door, I still act like a puppy at times—playful, silly, and full of energy. I am still working on my house training as well. Walking on a leash is new to me, but I’m eager to learn, and with patience and encouragement I’ll be your perfect walking buddy. I adore all toys, and I have a special fondness for soft blankets that I can suck on—it’s my little comfort habit. I’m looking for a family who will cherish my cuddly nature, guide me as I continue my training, and share in all the joy I bring. If you’re searching for a gentle, playful, and affectionate companion, I think we’d be a perfect match. I will do fine with children. would  love a home with a small, non-dominant playful dog.  My adoption fee is $450. Available early January.

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.

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.
