Adoption Procedures:

We want every adoption to be a successful one. We don’t want any of our rescued dogs to be moved around again, to experience even one more minute of hunger, discomfort, loneliness or pain. We are acting on their behalf, and we take this responsibility very seriously.

Once we determine a dog is adoptable we begin the process of placing the Boston Terrier in an approved adoptive home. We assess our adoption applications by screening for safety in the home and compatibility and lifestyle of the prospective owner. A veterinarian's reference is required on all adoption forms. All adoption applicants must also agree to a home visit from a BTRC member before the adoption can be finalized. An adoption contract and an adoption fee ($350 adoption fee with some exceptions for senior or special needs dog) is the final step in our adoption process. The donation is not a fee or sale price, but a request to defer or reimburse the rescue organization for any and all medical expenses, or any other expenses incurred by the dog or rescue organization to consider the dog for adoption. Our only payment is seeing a happy dog happy dog and a happy family.

We are always available for post adoption support and our "welcome home" policy ensures that our dogs are always welcome to come back to us at any point in their lifetime in the unlikely event of an adopter not being able to keep the dog.

All dogs will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Absolutely no exceptions!
