ABTR's 'Have A Heart' T-Shirts
'Adopt an Old Fart' is the
message and our t-shirt features ABTR's own senior poster-boy, Jerry! The
ABTR logo is displayed on the front. The t-shirts are grey, in honor of our
seniors. These
wonderful T-Shirts plus
many different items with these logos as well as many designs made up with
our Rescued Boston Terriers such as Mindi Smilin, Boston in a Basket, Singing
Apache and many others make great presents and raise money for our
rescue.
Any and all Donations are always needed and welcome. If you wish to

If you wish to donate for vet expenses on our dogs, please go to paypal and

and make a note that it is to apply to vet expenses for Wanda Jewell's
rescued dogs. Or you can make your check out to Dr. Cindy Westbrook and

sometimes we owe our vet in excess of $2000 when we get a large influx of
special needs and heartworm positive dogs in.
If you wish to donate dog food or any other item, we do have a WISH LIST
that we would love to have items from.
IF you have SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT A CERTAIN DOG, please feel free to email them to me, otherwise, all the information that I have about the dog is right here on this page.
Transportation paid for by an approved adopter can be arranged anywhere in the U.S. and to Toronto and Montreal Canada. Airfare is $175 and the crate and health certificate is $60 in addition to the adoption fee if we ship.

We will take a personal check for a DONATION not pertaining to an
adoption.
Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Thank you for your support.
>IF YOU WANT TO SURRENDER A DOG in North Texas (DFW/Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas)/Southern Oklahoma/ West Arkansas/ Northern Louisianna, please contact us via our voicemail at (972) 407-4440. We WILL NOT return calls that are just asking questions about dogs available. THE INFORMATION ABOUT DOGS WE HAVE ARE ON THESE WEBPAGES!!! PLEASE READ THEM. >We are volunteers and our time is limited and we prefer to spend time taking care of the dogs instead of answering questions that have already been answered below. If you are interested in adoption, please fill out our application. THANK YOU!!!
IF you are over 70 years old and interested in an older dog, please ask about our Seniors for Seniors program.
| ATTENTION: When you are approved is when you get to choose a dog from the ones that are currently available that I think will suit your needs, IF you are ready to adopt at that time !!! IF YOU ARE NOT READY to adopt at the time you are approved, then I will NOT hold a particular dog for you as I need to get these dogs out of here and not have them holding spaces that another dog needs for 2 or more weeks waiting on someone to get back from vactaion, etc. Once you are ready to adopt after you are approved is when you can choose a dog from the ones available. If I only had one or 2 dogs in it would not matter, but there are some weeks I get up to 8 new dogs into rescue and I need the space. Thank you for your understanding. |
| Other dogs MAY BE available that may not be listed yet as I dont' always have time to update the page daily. Some of these dogs above may have adoptions pending or have been adopted out as I don't always have time to update daily. BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT A DIFFERENT BT THAN THE ONE YOU APPLY FOR if the dog does not fit into the family dynamics or has been already adopted by someone approved before you. We do work the apps in the order we get them. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting a BT. Thank you |
| For local adopters, we do NOT let you take dogs on a trial basis, either you want to adopt a particular dog or you do not want to adopt a dog. These dogs have been through enough upheaval in their lives, moving them into a new home for a few days or weeks and then back to rescue would tramatize them even more. So, please do not ask me about taking the dogs on a trial basis as the answer is NO. Be sure you want to adopt a dog before you adopt it. We are always willing to take a dog back that doesn't work out, but we try to find the right fit the first time. I am looking for homes who will consider these dogs part of the family, not just dogs to try out and return if they are not perfect. No dog is perfect, whether it is rescued or not. |
| PLEASE NOTE: IF THE PICS ARE JUST A SQUARE WITH A X IN IT, THEN IT MEANS THAT I HAVEN"T TAKEN A PICTURE AND POSTED IT YET!!! I WILL POST A PIC AS SOON AS I TAKE ONE. |
| Other dogs MAY BE available that may not be listed yet and some of these dogs above may have adoptions pending or have been adopted out as I don't always have time to update daily. BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT A DIFFERENT BT THAN THE ONE YOU APPLY FOR if the dog does not fit into the family dynamics or has been already adopted by someone approved before you. We do work the apps in the order we get them. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting a BT. Thank you. |
| PLEASE NOTE: Adoption pending means that I am just waiting on the adoption fee or transport for the dog to go to their new home. |
|
Please do not apply with every Texas rescue, just apply with the
one that has the dog you want to adopt. Often we are working the same
applications and that wastes our time when we could be working different
apps and rehome more dogs. Thank you for your understanding!!!
ADOPTIONS ARE BY APPLICATION ONLY!!!! |
IF you have SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT A CERTAIN DOG, please feel free to email them to me, otherwise all the information that I have about the dog is right here on this page.
I process the apps in the order that I receive them, WHEN I have time between vetting, fetching dogs, home visits, my life, etc. Sometimes it is a couple of weeks before I start processing your application due to the busyiness of my schedule. IF you get another dog in the meantime, please send me an email and let me know
The Adoption process is: 1) You fill out and email app to me. If there is anything that you think I need to know that I have not asked you or you have certain requirements or traits you are looking for in a dog, please put it in the application. 2) I check your references. 3) If those pass, then I arrange a home visit. 4) If that passes, then you can adopt a dog from the ones that are available at that time. A dog that you may be interested in may already have had a number of applications already in on him that were processed before yours, so please be willing to adopt another dog that I may have come in that suits your needs. While pictures are nice to see, looks are not everything. Personality and actions are what determine the best dog for you.Feel free to look at other rescue sites that may have a dog that is just right for your family. You can check out Oklahoma Boston Terrier Rescue Main Page or a variety of others by going to my Rescue Links page and clicking on the closest rescue to you. I have them listed by state and alphabetically.

Our foster dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough

Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting a dog from me as I do not keep a list of persons and what they are looking for in a boston unless i have the application that I can pull that information from. Thank you.
