We are an all-volunteer; non-profit group dedicated to the health and well being of senior and special needs Boston Terriers. Our mission and main objective is to vet and responsibly re-home unwanted animals with a thorough pre-screening adoption program that includes checking vet and personal references as well as a home visit. Secondary objectives include pet education and decreasing the number of purebred animals being born. Our policy is that all dogs are spayed/neutered before adoption and educating our adopters on the importance of spay/neuter. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every senior and special need Boston Terrier has the chance to live the life they deserve. We are a small, dedicated group of Boston Terrier-loving volunteers based in North Texas who stay busy rescuing, training, transporting, vetting, coordinating and fundraising - all for the love of our chosen breed, the Boston Terrier. All Bostons that come into ABTR get fully vetted including but not limited to: heartworm testing and treatment if positive, they are spayed/neutered and placed into home environments to ensure a good fit into their new forever family homes. We will not turn away a senior or special need Boston in need as long as we have available space. ALL senior and special needs Bostons deserve a loving home. We accept all Bostons, regardless of age or health. (We will not accept dogs that exhibit human or dog aggression.)
Hide About

We require all applicants to complete an application. All references are checked including vet reference. If the references check out then we move to a home visit. A volunteer from our organization goes into the home and inspects the home for safety and talks to the potential family about any questions or concerns that they have. Our Adoption Donation fee ranges from $175-$350 depending on the age of the dog. We do require an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. All dogs are adopted only after their shots are current and they have been spayed/neutered.
