ADOPTION APPLICATIONS
MICROSOFT WORD OR
MICROSOFT EXCEL
If you are interested in adopting ANY DOG ON MY PAGE or wish to get on our list of approved homes
for future adoption, please DOWNLOAD an application, complete, sign and fax to:
(775) 417-5189
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT OF THE APPLICATIONS TO PDF OR ANY OTHER FORMAT THAN WORD DOC OR
EXCEL When you do that the pages and answers do
not align correctly and sometimes instead of getting 9 pages I get 38 pages and that is a waste of
our office supplies. If you can't fill it out without changing the format, then just print it out
and fax it to us. There should be a max of 9 pages. IF you have more than that, please request us
to mail you an application. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Unfortunately,not all the babies that ABTR tries to save are adopted. Some like Wee Willie who was picked up by Animal control who contacted us and was
rushed to the vet do not make it. A lot of the seniors stay with us until the end of their
days being loved, cared for and vetted as if they were a member of the foster’s family. These vet
bills need to be paid as well which is why we ask for your donations.
Click here for Wee Willie’s story.

We DO NOT

IF YOU WANT TO SURRENDER A DOG
in North Texas (DFW/Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas) /Southern Oklahoma/
West Arkansas/Northern Louisiana,
please contact us via our voicemail at (972) 407-4440.
ABTR accepts all Bostons no matter how old they are or what is wrong
with them healthwise as we have space available in our program. We DO
NOT accept human or dog aggressive dogs as we do not have any 1 dog
foster homes. We do have a waiting list and Kill shelters that work with
us get priority over any other dogs on the waiting list.
We WILL NOT return calls that are just asking questions about dogs
available.
DOG INFORMATION IS ON THESE WEBPAGES!!!
PLEASE READ IT
IF you
have SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT A CERTAIN DOG, please feel free to email
them to Wanda , otherwise, all the
information that I have about the dog is right here on this page.
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!!!
|
|
|
We recommend anyone adopting a dog from us to use a
crate to prevent any damage to your home or belongings due to separation anxiety that may not
manifest itself here. We further recommend that you take the dog to OBEDIENCE classes to help teach
your dog to become a good member of your family and to help you bond together.
|
|
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
vacation, 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 don't 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 traumatize 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 PICTURES ARE JUST A SQUARE WITH A X IN IT LIKE THIS , THEN IT MEANS THAT I HAVEN'T TAKEN A PICTURE AND POSTED IT YET!!! I WILL POST A
PICTURE 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 re-home 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 busyness 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.

DOGS CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
THESE ARE ABTR DOGS
ABTR Is Responsible For The Care Of These Dogs
Updates:
Due to the large amount of time it takes to care for the dogs, it is difficult to frequently update
the individual dog's bios. The dogs here are in a loving safe environment, so if the information
provided has been listed for a while, chances are the dog has seen some improvement and hopefully
has blossomed. The longer a dog is here, the more we can tell you about his or her personality and
make a good family match when we do your finalinterview.
Note:
Hundreds of wonderful dogs have found forever homes through American Boston Terrier Rescue. We
have set up two pages to feature and honor some of these dogs. You will find the first page,
New Beginnings and Happy Endings by clicking
here.
The second page was specifically made to highlight our Senior Adoptees and their gracious families, you can
view it by clicking here.
There are
many Special Care
Dogs that come to
ABTR in such poor conditions but with your support and the loving care of
everyone involved many of them emerge ready to live the life they were intended
to all along. We want to share just a few of their stories to encourage you that
even ONE can make a difference. Be aware that many of the images can be heart
breaking and graphic but the outcome is what it is all about. You can view their
stories by clicking here.
IMPORTANT
At this time, most of our dogs are not kid tested as they have come from sheltersor picked up as
strays. Occasionally, we get a dog that is from a family environmentand in that case, it will say
on the website thisdog is good with kids, etc.If you have kids and are an approved adopter we
will do our best to match a dog with your family that will be compatible with children. However, we
can not guarantee a dog to be kid friendly as we do not have many foster homes with children.
After you are an approved adopter we can cat test a dog you may be interested in. The tests will
only be performed after you have become an approved adopter. Thankyou for your understanding in
this matter.

This boy is something else. He is a character and a half. He hates being crated and tells you all
about it. HE loves to go and sniff everything. HE loves attention and gets along
with most dogs. He doesn't like other dogs getting in his face. I do believe he
has some healing ulcers on his eyes, Cindy hasn't looked at them yet to tell me
what they are. He can see fine. He has a lot of hair loss across his back like a
lot of them we get that have been covered in fleas and is a bit under nourished
with dry flakey skin. With some good care, love and good food, he will soon be
looking good and ready for a new home. This boy will make someone very happy
because he is energetic and very loving.

Cruelty Case DFW Shelter
Black and White - Good markings
Spayed
Up to date on Bordatella, Rabies, and 7 in 1 shots. Heartworm/lyme/erlichia
This is a precious little girl. Skinny as can be and when you pick her up, it is like picking up a
feather. This dog needs some groceries bad. She was taken away from a breeder of many different
breeds not just Bostons. All the Bostons I got from them were covered in poop and skinny as all get
out. She is getting on with all my dogs and wanted to play with the cats, but did chase Midnight
when he decided he had enough and ran away. Wasn't interested in death of cat, just playing. We
will see what the vet has to say about this group next week as I get them in for vetting.
UPDATE: After Honey got to looking much better although still very thin, we took her to the
vet to have some bloodwork ran on her. Her proteins were a little high and she was still anemic.
We have rewormed her as worms can cause proteins to be high. We also started her on another vitamin
and livers. We will check her blood work again around April 25th. She is NOT AVAILABLE FOR
ADOPTION YET! HOney was nothing but skin poured over bones when we got her and it was like picking
up a bird with hollow bones and no meat on her. Our vet said she and Peeps were in the worst shape
of any we have brought in so far and she was afraid they weren't gonna make it.

Brindle and White - Haggerty spot good
markings
Has the cutest long tail
Neutered
Up to date on Bordatella, Rabies, and 7 in 1 shots.
Heartworm/lyme/erlichia Negative!
Housebroken and wee wee pad trained
Blackhawk aka Blackie was living with his momma in a nursing home.
Unfortunately his momma's dementia worsened to the point that Blackie was not getting the care that
he needed so he was surrendered to us.
He lived under her bed at the nursing home and he was a bit on the scared side when I got him.
He is not used to being on a leash and is used to being picked up and carried outside.
Since being here I have discovered that Blackie is very loving, very attentive to you and gets
along fine with the other dogs here.
This is a very nice dog and would be an EXCELLENT companion for an older person as he was an older
persons companion to begin with.
Blackie does have a long tail, but he is pure boston.
He is a sweetheart and I do hope that someone sees what a wonderful gentleman he is.
Update: 2/22/05 Blackhawk has developed a bit of a heart problem and
we have him on meds.
He is doing well on them, but is not gaining much weight yet.
He is very thin. If
you would like to contribute to Blackhawk's vet bill, please feel free to

have no history on her. She is a fairly quiet girl for the most part, yet she is protective and
will let you know that something is going on with a bark. Blueberry gets on well with others. She

Rabies, and 7 in 1 shots. Heartworm positive and has completed her
heartworm treatment! We have had her for a year
now and she tested negative on her annual
health
exam and shots.
lyme/erlichia Negative!
Bonnie was owner surrendered by a breeder
to the Tyler shelter and no reason was given that
I am aware of. This is a shy girl at first until
she gets to know you and then she will hop up in
your chair with you to watch TV. She is very quiet
and laid back so far, but that may change as she
gets more confidence in herself and her
surroundings. She will need housebreaking since
she was a breeder's dog. Bonnie is an alpha so
would be best placed with male dogs or an only dog
home.

folks to warn 'em off but not attacking them. Ok

This is a

outside too close together where they could fight and injure each other, without

being beat on by the other dogs. Butter is ok loose with my crew and doesn't

Cocoa Puffs
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
MALE
23 lbs
5 years old
Owner surrender to Louisiana Shelter
Black and white - good markings with
grey face
Heartworm/lyme/erlichia
?
This is what his temp foster Wayne has to say about Cocoa Puffs QUOTE: "Coco is a really nice guy. He has been neutered and his shots are all up to date. The paperwork says he's a year old but I'm sure he's somewhat older - maybe 4 or 5. He is house trained but HATES the crate and will growl at you if you come near his crate. Otherwise he's really well behaved and has obviously been around people alot. He's quite overweight and has some really bad scars on his back & sides - think maybe he's been in some fights. He is really sweet and won't get up on the furniture but has made himself right at home. The other five could care less about him so that's a BIG plus. He even ate dinner with them tonight without a problem. He is very active & alert and seems really smart. He comes when he's called and he knows his name. Will get a picture to you tonight after Brian gives him a bath - but he's very attractive and has a really fine looking face. He is BT all the way.
Nice dog, fits in well with the others. Coco is just a doll. Such a nice dog, well behaved, house trained, bright, intelligent, likes to play. Got to wonder why some fool would give up such a nice dog. The other dogs really like him which says alot!"
The scars don't look like fighting scars to me. His feet are red and sore looking so we took some skin scrapes and I will know more in a few days.

This sweet
little girl was picked up by Pug rescue in Austin

her back end due to her walking really funny. Poor
old Gertie has been shot in the rear end. Cindy
said that she had a big pellet deep in the muscle
that she didn't want to dig for and make her more
sore since it wasn't causing her any problems. She
does have very bad patellas, but is not in any
pain from them as she doesn't limp just walks
bowlegged as heck. since she is not hurting we are
not gonna do any surgery on them. Her hip joints
are a little bit wonky as well. She was also in
HEAT!!! Poor old girl. She Won't ever be in heat
again that I can tell you. :) Gertie is a sweet
girl who loves to get attention. She is good with
the other dogs.

can't tell you what his personality is like. He is
eating good, but sleeping a lot like the mange
babies always do. It will be several months and
lots of treatments before he gets better. We got
him the 1st of December. So maybe by end of Feb or
March he might be ready to go to a new home. He
was found in Marshall. Can you imagine someone
letting this baby get in this bad a shape? Poor
little guy. Sometimes I really don't like people
much when I see dogs in this shape.
One
good thing is he was heartworm negative so that is
a plus for him.

This is a

Was Dumped at Hammond Louisiana Animal Shelter

Neutered
Up to date on Bordatella, Rabies,
and 7 in 1 shots. Positive for Demodex and

Heartworm/lyme/erlichia negative
Snickerdo
odles'
story contains graphic photos.
This
is what Wayne his temporary foster said about him, "He is a male BT about a
year old but has very, very bad mange and has been abused. He cringes every time
you get near him. He was afraid of the camera and is afraid of the other dogs.
He hasn't been neutered and is not house trained. He seems okay in the crate.
Apparently he was dumped at the Hammond animal shelter and it looks like he has
never had any kind of vet attention - and probably has never seen a kind
person in his life. Sad, sad case; the worst we've had I think. On the next day
he says: "He has really come alive today. He is just fine with the
crate....and he gets along with everybody he doesn't take cold very easy because
he has very little fur. He cringes when you raise your hand but he's friendly
and very, very sweet."
Here is what I have
observed. Doodles is learning to intermingle with the other dogs. Sometimes he
gets a little overwhelmed and snippy with them ,but generally gets on well. He
is timid, but wants desperately to love you and get love. When you give him
attention he soaks it up like a sponge and he has a face that just melts your
heart. He likes to lean against the back of my legs when I am on the computer
and met pet the top of his back. Doodles wants to play the mouth game with you,
opens his mouth and wiggles it around your hand, but never bites down just
rubbing his mouth around on you. He is a precious boy and will be a joy to
someone who is willing to work with him and show him what love is. He is a
typical puppy. playful, needing obedience and house training.

Tootsie
Roll aka Tootsie
Available
for Adoption!
Female 11 lbs. 10
years old
Stray at the Ellis County Shelter Black
and White Spayed Up to date on Bordatella,
Rabies, and 7 in 1 shots.
Heartworm/lyme/erlichia Negative!!!
Tootsie is
an older little girl. She is precious and has the
sweetest little face. She is a bit frail so we
will not ship her to anyone. You have to come and
pick her up in person. Toots gets on well with
others, but will take nothing off them and will
let them know real fast if they have overstepped
her bounds. Toots likes to sleep with you. She
loves to go for rides with you. Toots loves treats
too. Since she seemed to be in pain I told Cindy
that if she needed surgery on them back legs to do
it for her even though we don't normally do knees
surgery. BUT... she has no kneecap to fix on the
one side and the other side the kneecap is fusing.
She also has arthritis all down her spine which
contributes to her walking funny. So there isn't
anything we can do for her other than to give her
ectogesic and supplements for the arthritis. Now
if there was one I really wanted to keep, I think
Toots is my girl. :) hehehehe I LOVE HER!!!

Zingers
Available
for Adoption
Male 14.2
lbs. 5 years old from
Greenville Black and
White -Good Markings Neutered Up to
date on Bordatella, Rabies, and 7 in 1 shots.
Heartworm/lyme/erlichia Positive!!!
and
will be treated before adoption. He should be
ready to go to his new home around 2nd week of
January 2008
I
got a note saying little guy needs a home. Who
could resist that plea? The lady that found
him says, "This little guy showed up at our
house (we live in the country at the end of a
gravel road, need I say more?) Anyway, he has
spent the night on our front porch the last couple
of nights, and does not belong to any of our
neighbors. We don't want another dog. He
seems very sweet, doesn't seem to wander, just
hyper. He jumps around like a silly little jack
rabbit. He's really funny. He just wants a lot of
attention. Let me know if anyone is
interested in him, please.
This
is the best dog EVER! If you want a boy that LOVES
LOVES LOVES to play fetch, this boy is for you. He
will fetch almost as long as he has breath in his
body. He loves Tennis balls so much that he
has worn his teeth completely down chomping on
them. Zingers is energetic, loving, seems to
be housebroken, good with other dogs unless they
want his ball, and just an all around character. This boy is a
definite keeper.
He
loves to ride and sleep with you. He is very
responsive and smart as he has already learned his
new name. I LOVE this guy.

you would like to contribute to Zingers' vet bill, please feel free to use

COURTESY POSTINGS
THESE ARE NOT
ABTR DOGS
ABTR Has No Responsibility
For These Dogs
Oscar
Available
for Adoption!
Male
26 lbs.
8-10 years old
owner surrender to shelter he was adopted from
(stray previously)
Black and White
Neutered
Up to date on DHLPP and Rabies
Heartworm Negative!!!
This
is Oscar! He is an absolutely wonderful old
Boston Terrier! He is estimated to be 8-10
years of age. He appears to be housebroken and
just a great little lover. He is laid back and
loves to lay around and dream of dinner time!
Seriously, if you are looking for a sweet,
happy, loyal companion, look no further!
Oscar
would love nothing more than to be adopted by
a home that has time to spend with him and is
willing to care for him for the remainder of
his retirement. He was found as a stray
earlier this year and adopted but relinquished
by his most recent owners when one became
hospitalized. He has been bounced around
several times ... so now, it is important that
we make sure his next home is a forever
home.
Oscar
is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm
negative, has had no potty accidents while in
foster care and just received a dental
cleaning a few months ago so he is super
kissable! Oscar has a cataract but seem
to be seeing pretty darn good considering! He
comes when called, knows how to sit on command
and is a fun loving, reliant, trusting,
gentleman.
Oscar
is available for adoption in Austin Texas.
