Korky (renamed Brody)

Brody is such a sweet, funny little dog. He plays hard and loves his Nylabones, playing fetch, and playing tug with one of my other two Bostons (or sometimes it is the whole bunch at once)!! He is definitely a cuddle-bug and thinks the only place to catch a nap is in my lap or right next to me. I am so glad that Brody is a part of the family now. Thanks to BTRNC for matching me with this precious new family member.

 

 

 


 


Cindy

I've attached a picture that pretty much says it all in terms of how well Cindy has adapted to our family! Cindy has fit in far better than I ever could have imagined. I worried at first about whether she would feel intimidated by her big Lab-sized siblings. However, I failed to remember that she's a Boston Terrier... and Bostons refuse to believe that they are small in stature! I'm certain that her big siblings would protect her at all costs. If she barks or whines for any reason, one of them immediately rushes to her side to make sure that she's ok. If you mess with Cindy, you'll have to answer to Roxy, Bo, and Mason! Cindy has also become a faithful friend to Pete, my family's blind Boston. His world is often times a lonely place because his fear of other dogs keeps him from making many friends. Having a little friend his size has been so great for him.
I'm sorry to have failed my first attempt at fostering but not sorry that we now have Cindy as a permanent resident!

 


Roxie

This is my girl Roxie. We adopted her August 2007. Thanks to Betsy and Roxie's foster mom we have a wonderful companion for us and our dog Tula. When Roxie was living with her foster mom she told me that Roxie did not play with the other dogs in her home. Now she has a sister Tula, and the two of them are inseparable. They play all the time. At night they sleep with us with Roxie right between the pillows. I can not imagine my life without Roxie. She makes my life more complete. Thank you so much for saving her life and making mine happier.

 

 

 

 


Charley

Thank you so much BTRNC!  Charley has been a fantastic addition to our family. He loves playing and napping & eating – just like us!  He and his fur sister, Gracie, are inseparable.  They have a collection of canvas soft toys that they love, but, of course, the rubber ball is Charley’s fave.  He is very smart and usually knows what we want him to do (or not do).  And we had better not say the word “ride” unless we are prepared to get knocked down by two black & white bodies bolting for the garage door.  He is a delight and we thank you and all the volunteers who work to make happy endings possible.

Thurman, Kim, Gracie and Charley

 


Luna

Luna is the sweetest little girl and a great addition to our home.  She comes out of her shell more each day. About two weeks ago on a Friday night she just starting playing Elway’s games of chase and tug.  She has been going ever sinceJ  Elway is head over heels in love with her and though I do not think she is there yet, I think she tolerates him really well. I think she is very happy as she always seems to be smiling.

 Thank you, BTRNC for everything!

 

 

 

 

 


Tank

It has been just a couple of months since I took him in as a foster and what a world of difference I see in his appearance and personality.
 
Tank came to us as a shy, frightened, skinny guy.  As you can see from his picture, he is no longer skinny.  He is a handsome young man.  His personality has also changed.  When he first came to stay here, he was afraid to go outside alone, he gobbled his food (as if he was afraid someone would take it away), he never picked up a chew bone or a toy and he really did not want to play with his fur sister Meeka.
 
Today Tank and Meeka run in the back yard together, they play hard (with him initiating the play now and again), he loves his nyla bones (he and Meeka both like stealing them away from each other) and he no longer fears that his food will disappear if he doesn't eat immediately.
 
Tank and Meeka spent 6 days at the PetSmart Hotel over the Christmas holiday.  They shared a suite and they did very well.  Tank went to doggy day camp each day (Meeka went to private play since the only dog she likes is Tank) and they said he loved it.  I believe he did because since he came home he bounces around like a puppy.
 
He has really blossomed from the skinny, dirty dog that I picked up on a rainy day in October.  I'm so glad that I failed at fostering and that Tank has become part of our family.  We don't know what we would do without him.  We all love him dearly.

 


Spencer (renamed Jack)

Woof Woof! I love my new forever home. As soon as my mom brought me home to be with my new brothers and sister I was immediately attached and in love. My big brother Brody whom mom also adopted has become my very best friend. I love to wrestle with him, play tug of war, and run around in our big back yard. Brody and I go for walks around the neighborhood everynight with mom and then she lets us sleep in her warm bed with her. I love meeting new people and greeting them by jumping straight up in the air like a pogo stick! Thank you so much for giving me a chance to finally find my forever home!

 Woof,

Jack

 


Beau


Amelia

I was excited and nervous to have Amelia join my home nearly 3 months ago.  She was fearful of strangers and terrified of men.  Somehow her anxieties subsided early on and now it's impossible to sit down on the couch without her climbing into my lap to give me kisses.  Her brother Mackey loves to have a companion to eat and sleep with.  She is a roly poly dog that enjoys wiggling around on the carpet.  Other than the barking at passerby's  and an occasional snort or snore she is a quiet girl that finds a corner to curl up in.  My life has changed dramatically since Amelia's addition to our family.  She has the most gentle personality and is the most affectionate dog I have EVER met.  I am thrilled every time her fear of a stranger is overcome.  I can't help but get jealous when friend come over and she gives them all my sugar!  Thank you so much for the opportunity to have Amelia in my life. 


Lola


Emily


Nemo(renamed Charlie)

He has such personality and I love it.  Rich has been giving him massages... something that he learned on the Dog Whisperer.  Charlie loves it, he almost makes this purring sound.  It is hilarious.   He has now learned to sit, go down, and "give" his toys.  The whole "giving toys" thing was quite hard because he loves to play catch.  He still does that, but we only reward him for giving.  I did find some hard treats (that was not easy).  They look like little crackers and they are big enough to snap into quarters so he doesn't eat too much in excess.

Oakie (renamed Quinn)

Things are working out so beautifully with Quinn and Otto. They romp & play endlessly on the back porch, though Quinn is still a little tentative about walking on the pea gravel to get to the back yard. He's so funny, I think he just stands on the bottom stair step just to have me carry him to the grass. =}
 
He is so well-behaved and it seems like he's always been a part of the family. Thank you eternally for a great system that moved us along so smoothly and with such joy and hope for these little Bostons. We're lovin' up on him and he snuggles with my Mom and *she* loves it too. You've got a great service to bring love to Boston Terriers and humans alike!
 
Attached is a picture of Quinn with his new companion Otto!

 


Fiona

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how things are going.  Fiona has
made a great deal of progress!  She and Freckles are now playing a clownish game
that looks somewhat like the opening moves of a Sumu Wrestling match.  It is
funny and entertaining and let me tell you Fiona has some fast moves!  I think I
heard her mumbling...."I fly like  a butterfly & sting like a bee......"

We love her very much already.  She is a joy and will be a good companion for
Freckles. I really believe soon she will be well tolerated by the cats and vice
versa.  I am not banking on a close friendship there.......just mutual respect!

 


Robbie (renamed Brody)

I received Brody (formerly Robbie) on July 1, 2007.  I had not anticipated the wonderful ways in which my life would change!  I absolutely adore Brody, and he is everything that I wanted in a dog.  My mother, brother, and boyfriend are completely taken by him as well.  His transition into my home was seamless; he is beautifully house-trained and people-trained J  Brody is a friend to all—and everyone who meets him is impressed by his good manners and good looks.  Brody enjoys having his belly rubbed, napping (accompanied by unimaginably loud snoring), sitting in my lap, chewing (furiously) on tennis balls, playing tug of war, and riding in the car.  (I also stumbled upon his love for cheese when I was giving him an antibiotic.)  Brody does not enjoy your napping or talking on the phone, and he expresses that by jumping on the (forbidden) furniture when you do so; he is also uncomfortable with thunder and lightning (as am I, so now we both have someone to cling to. Thank you for allowing me to adopt Brody; he is a joy.  Each day we have lap time and a ride in the car or a walk.  And, as soon as I can convince my mother, I’ll be back for another…


Winnie & Izzy

Winnie and Issy have made wonderful additions to my larger family. Here they are pictured with two of my grandchildren, Colesy and Julia Cotter, on a visit that we made to them at thier home in Charlotte. Winnie and Issy have made equally good friend with grandchildren Lee and Elizabeth - so you can say that they are batting 1,000. They are precious, loving dogs, make friends with everyone, and are the incomparable companions Bostons are said to be. Thanks BTRNC!


Luci and Desi

The dogs are definitely right at home. They are starting to play more with our dogs and they love to snuggle. They sleep in my daughter’s bed. They are VERY good dogs and they seem to be doing very well here. All of the dogs are getting along and all of us really enjoy the new dogs. Lucy and Desi are so well behaved and loving.


 

Missy


Clinton (renamed Kona)

It feel as though Kona has been a part of our family for a much longer time than these past few weeks.  He and his big brother Toby are getting along very well.  They are having some trouble figuring out how to play with each other, but that doesn't keep them from playing their own games with us!  Even though Kona is a very laid back Boston, he loves to meet people and had an absolute blast with all of the people in town for my sister's wedding.  In addition to more laps to sit in and belly rubs to be had, he had a bigger audience for his antics, which included showing us how his bed doubled as a fashion accessory!  I can not tell you how grateful we are to BTRNC and Kona's wonderful foster mothers for bringing him to us.


Petey

We hope this note finds you both well. We are doing great here! Petey and I are in my home office just hangin out. Of course, he’s very happy when I work from home. We have really taken some great steps over the last 5 days. We can see him coming around – in a few cases, sooner than we thought...He loves to look out the back door with Justin at the rabbits in our yard. When they run across the lawn Petey runs the same direction inside the house to uh… catch it, hehe. Sometimes he has us laughing so hard at the things he does...  

  

 

So, there’s a lot to be learned by Petey and, just as importantly, by us. The warm moments have far outweighed the tough ones.

 


Hombre Santino

Santino has now been with us for quite some time.... I think, he knew from the beginning that he did not want to go anywhere....He is fitting in wonderfully and gets along great with his siblings and even our cat.  Santino is a calming influence on our "pack" and brought lots of balance to the family.  He loves going on rides, playing soccer, chasing soap bubbles and going to school with his brother Tike.  Every morning he engages Annie in a game of bitey face, they play wonderfully together. Santino was special from the very start and we are truly happy we made the decision to keep him here, where he felt safe and loved....which he is, forever.
 

Buxton

Buxton is just the addition our family needed. He has fit in perfectly with his big sister Suma (adpoted in 2006). They have become the best of playmates and we constantly catch them sneaking kisses to each other. Buxton's personality has become more apparent as the days have gone by. We are grateful that he is such a cuddly love bug! We just couldn't imagine not having him in our home and we know Suma is grateful to have a playmate! Thanks to all at BTRNC for making this adoption possible!

 

 


Max (renamed Ivan)

I wanted to say thank you for all of your work. Nathan and I love Max (we have
renamed him Ivan). He is ridiculously cute and a very sweet, good boy. He
already has a lot of fans in the neighborhood. He and the cats are very curious
about one another and I think that they will get along just fine. There have
already been some instances of Ivan and a cat sleeping on the bed with us at
opposite ends. He is completely house broken, good in the crate, good in the
car, and responds well to "no". He also knows to chew only on toys, although he
does actually prefer the cat toys which we take away from him. We really
appreciate all that you and everyone at BTRNC does for us and for all the dogs.
 


Spike

He really is a Boston, according to his new vet!  I had the mole removed from his forearm and his toophies cleaned.  He's decided that he loves the beach and the water now.  He used to bark at it.  We went to Annapolis for 10 days and he didn't make one false move.  They love him up there and he is the mascot of the Eastport Democratic Club!  He loves cheese.  We are enjoying our life!


Ollie (renamed Tucker)

Tucker is doing great!  I am so blessed to have him, he is my pal. He has been with me just over 2 weeks. It is like he has been with me all of his life.  He is adjusting really well.  He has met all the neighborhood dogs and humans.  They all love him and comment how well behaved he is. He does not know a stranger.  He loves chocolate Nylabones and his mini cube (picture).  He chases the cube around the living room to get his treats. He runs after his tennis ball, but isn't quite sure what to do with it when he gets to it.  We are working on that.  Thank you so much for Tucker.  He is a wonderful and loving dog!!!  I can't imagine my life without him.


Sweet Pea

Hi!  Sweet Pea here!

I wanted to let you know that my new Mommy took me on a walk yesterday around Shelly Lake.  I made it most of the way.  It's a 2 mile walk and I pooped out about 2/3s of the way.  Mommy carried me the rest of the way.  She did not mind. 

This morning we got up early and went to the dog park!  I met my new friend Riley there (9 year old border collie).  It took me about 10 minutes but, then I played with everyone..dogs and owners alike.  It was a blast. 

Now, I am trying to entice Isabella, my cat sister,  to play with me...she does not get me yet.  I will keep working on her. 

Woof,

Sweet Pea

Karamel

She seems to be very happy in her new home. She has even warmed up to a good male friend of mine and rarely (if ever) growls at him now. I know she loves her new mom, but I think she likes him pretty well, too. She’s still not a huge fan of the crate, but she tolerates it. She does a little whining and barking initially when you leave her in there, but she calms down eventually. She has not used the restroom in the crate in over a week, so I am really excited about that. My hope is to not have to crate her but to eventually move her into a larger space. I’m sure she knows she is going to be well taken care of by now!!

Thanks so much for what you all at BTRNC are doing and for allowing me the opportunity to get to know this beautiful little girl! She is a GREAT fit for me, and I am absolutely in love with her already!!


Zeus(renamed Brody)

What a love bug I have received! We renamed Zeus to Brody and things are wonderful. He has settled right in here. He and Oscar get along just fine and Bella is working on it but she is the precious princess and is taking her sweet time. Brody loves the back yard and would probably stay out all day if I let him. Sleeps in the bed with Oscar and I at night and takes up most of the bed! I can't thank you enough for introducing the two of us, he is so well behaved and polite! Brody is helping to heal that whole in my heart. I hope you had an enjoyable and restful vacation. Talk to you soon.   

 

 

 

 


Pickles

Apparently one Boston just wasn't enough!! Pickles is doing great! We
love her to pieces! Blue is so happy to have a friend to run around with.
We had talked about getting Blue a friend when my husband returns from
Iraq, but after watching him cry because the cat wouldn't play with
him, I thought it might be time. And everything just seemed to fall right
into place with Miss P!! She has settled in just fine and from the start she let Blue know who was boss!! They love to play and run around the back yard together! She is such a sweet heart and gives the best bt kisses!!
Her adoptive dad is excited to meet her when he comes home from Iraq in December, he fell in love with Blue when he was home in May!


Mike (renamed Deacon)

I just wanted to send you a couple pictures of Mikey...whom I have renamed Deacon  =)   He is such a sweetie!  His personality has really came out the past few days.  Everywhere I go, he is on my heels.  I have 2 black & white shadows!!  Deac loves playing with his new brother Maverick, they play tug together constantly.  He also is very much enjoying sleeping in the bed too!  They both dive under the covers & snuggle up to me.  And boy does he snore!!!                           
He is also very polite.  If I am having a snack on the couch, he sits quietly at my feet till I pat the couch to say its OK for him to jump up.  I just adore him. 

 


Bugsi

Bugsi is doing great. He has seen his new vet and his checkups went well. He plays ball a lot and is going for long walks (with the leash in his mouth.)

He loves Cheerios (Dr. Jordan said they were good for him) and this week we're trying bananas.

He sleeps in the bed and tells us when he has to use the bathroom. He did have one #1 accident but we think that was more our fault. He's very affectionate and he's learning when to calm down for the day. We're all very happy and very grateful to have him. Thank you again for everything.

 

 


Justice

Justice has been in our home for 8 days now and it feels like he has been with us forever. He and his new brother Bud are getting along---although Bud is much older and is having a hard time keeping up with a youngster. Justice has mastered the dog doors and spends a lot of his time exploring the back yard. He loves to sleep in bed with us--sometimes he takes up the entire bed but we haven't minded. He is a treasure and we want to thank everyone involved in making his adoption possible.

 

 

 


Stanley (renamed Cooper)

Just when I thought it would not happen I have a new man in my life............
Cooper. I cannot express enough how close I feel to my little guy and am so
thankful to the both of you for putting the two of us together. Cooper has
settled in to my routine with only one issue. He tends to lift his leg in the
house, but we are working on that, and hope to resolve the issue soon. He is
great with the other dogs he comes in contact with, little interest in the cat,
and loves to sleep with me. Sleeping with me is somewhat of a issue in that
when the alarm goes off I look into those big eyes, hit the snooze and snuggle
with him, not wanting to get up. This I need to work on, not Cooper....

 


Trevor

Just a note to let you know that everything has gone EXCEEDINGLY well. We truly believe Trevor knows this is his forever home, and Scrapper seems to know that Trevor is a "mini-me" and has taken on the role of elder statesman. (As for Rocky, he likes everybody, so no problems there.) Scrapper lets Trevor take any of his toys, and when Trevor hops up in our laps, Scrapper kisses him all over his face. They played together outside all afternoon without one negative incident. Trevor loves spinning in circles with toys in his mouth and chasing after toys you throw for him. He's had a grand time flitting from place to place exploring the yard. As for supper, he ate over a cup of Beneful and some scraps of Pepperidge Farms Hearty White Bread left over from his pill, which he took like a champ. (And there were no negative incidents over food.) Trevor is a mighty special and delightful little boy who's now napping on the back porch with his dad and brothers. We're thrilled to have him aspart of our family. Thank you all at BTRNC for making this happen.
 


Buddy

Sweet Buddy is adjusting well I still cannot get him to eat in the corner of the kitchen, thus the linoleum, so his food/water dish is in the corner of the carpeted den. He finally barked on Sunday. He loves to chase the one albino squirrel that comes to find bird food. He is getting to be affectionate, cuddling up beside me on the couch and loves to ride in the car. He is the most quiet Boston terrier I have ever seen. I guess in my childhood, my family got hold of hyper Boston's. Buddy is quite the gentleman. Today I had my granddaughter, who will be three months old next week, and the two of them hit it off from the get-go. Buddy is a sweetheart and I am so proud to be able to be able to call him my Buddy.
I am so thankful for the Boston rescue/recovery. He needed me as much as I needed him I believe.

 


PeeDee

We are all adjusting nicely. PeeDee is such a sweet,sweet boy. We are so proud of him and love him to pieces.

We just adore PeeDee and he seems to just love us right back. He never runs out of kisses, just like the website described. He just fits right in. He already has his share of the bed. The first couple nights he didn't sleep much, but now he is sleeping all night.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped us along the way throughout the process. PeeDee is just perfect for us. We have attached some pictures for your viewing.

 


Sassie

She has brought us nothing but joy from the moment I picked her up from Greensboro. Everyone comments on how well she has integrated into our family and how comfortable and trusting she is around us. Sassie has such an amazing amount of personality and intellect. She wears us out with how much she wants to play... And POUNCE! Sunny and I have worked out some sort of system of switching off every hour and take a break because of how much 'she runs about and plays.
We take her all over the place with us and we are currently planning our first vacation this summer to the mountains where we booked a dog friendly cabin. This past weekend my parents were in town so she was able to meet her grandparents, see the inside of a fancy hotel room and go to the Boston Terrier Meetup at the dog park. At first she was a little timid around the others and jump into our arms or onto our laps when the other animals approached. She is starting to warm up quite a bit. Barring on how well she does over the next two weeks, I am hoping to take her to the Durham Walk for Animals.So as you can tell, I can't say enough about how much we love her. I believe this to be a wonderful match for our family and I can't remember the last time I smiled so much! Thank you for everything.
 

Update: It will be coming up on 3 months next weekend since we have adopted Sassie dog from the BTRNC. I just wanted to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to make this such a wonderful experience. I just cant imagine going through days without having that little shadow by my side. She brings so much happiness to everything that we do - from morning licks to afternoon dance parties and night time snuggles.

Our lives have changed significantly since picking up Sassie in April. Every day is filled with so much happiness and fun. I have seen her personality develop into more than most human beings have.

 


Charlotte

We are in love with Charlotte. She is so sweet and smart and a little mischievous at times, but we love her dearly. She is settling in pretty well at our house. She has so much personality and charm. I have an appointment for her April 16th to see about her tail. I'll let you know about that. She is gaining a little weight too and she just shines all over. She loves to go for walks, too. We just wanted to give you an update on her. We can't imagine being without her now and we think she likes us, too.

Update:

Just an update on our Charlotte. She is the best dog in the world. We love her so much and can't imagine being without her. This picture was taken on July 4th.  My husband put a gate on the front porch so she can go out with us when we are
relaxing in our rocking chairs. She loves to play and she loves to sleep. She is very healthy and we spoil her with new toys all the time.. She is a very loved dog!!   Thank you so much for letting us adopt her. She is at her forever home!!!

 


Demi (renamed Thumper)

In January, we heard about this dog that needed a "temporary" foster home until her foster Mom came home from vacation.  We offered to watch her over the weekend.  After one day, we offered to foster "Demi" through her mange treatment.  Thankfully the wonderful organizers of BTRNC gave us that chance.
 
When Demi arrived at our house, she was stinky, skinny and had no hair except for a patch on her neck due to Demodectic Mange.  In February, I spoke to BTRNC about 'fostering to adopt' Demi.  We were approved, so Thumper - that's what we call her now - has found  her forever home.  Thumper is an absolute joy in our lives.  She can melt your heart by just looking at you.  She gets along great with our other BT, Clover - they never stop playing!!  She also loves our cat Raven, I think she thinks Raven is a dog, as well.  Thumper is still being housetrained - she's quite stubborn - but she's learning.  She's getting used to her crate but her most favorite place to be at all times is with us - under the covers.  Thumper loves all people and animals, she does not discriminate.  She's been with us for 3 months now and oh what progress we have made.  She's finally gotten a full body of fur and it's starting to get some of that BT shine in it, too!  We're so happy that BTRNC gave us the chance to help Thumper and give her the love and forever home that she deserves.

 


Milo

Milo is wonderful! The best word I can think of to describe him is "sweet". He has adjusted well to our home and schedule. He has only had a couple of accidents in the house. He spends the night  in the crate I have in my bedroom and is very content, because he can see and hear me in the room. If I walk out of the room for a few minutes, to get something from the laundry, he becomes very alert and observant, but settles quietly again when I return. He occasionally tries to claim one of Jordan's (my daughter) stuffed animals, but gives it up easily when corrected.

 

 

 

 


Timmy

Timmy and Lainey are doing great together. They play hard and sleep hard. Timmy has some social issues when he gets close to dogs or people that he does not know. I think he gets scared on new things and acts aggressive towards new things. But, we are working with him on his small issues and believe that a loving home and the fact that he is a quick learner will be a positive towards his growth. Overall he has been a joy. He is very smart and is a good role model most of the time for Lainey. Timmy has a
home!

 


Nellie (renamed Pixie)

Pixie had a great evening! We played for a while then went to Petco. She's so inquisitive and fun! Later in the evening, we sat on the couch and watched the ACC basketball tournament. She snuggled between us in her pink blanket.

This morning we played tug then she sat in her bed as we ate breakfast. She's truly a great dog. We're already in love! You were right about her and food...she loves it! She can't get enough. I can see that we'll have to be careful with her weight.

We think she's scared to go outside...perhaps she fears being left alone again. I can't imagine what person would not want this sweet little creature.

 


Buster (renamed Ace)

Ace is great...I changed his name...he seems to respond to it. Aspen and Ace are the best of friends!!! Ace got his first bath last week after all of his long playing and walks he was due. I got him special oatmeal shampoo-due to his dry skin...it seems to work well. (right now they are licking faces). He has a matching bed with Aspen bed however he does not sleep on it long, he always jumps up in the bed with me and then goes down under the covers....he is such a love bug. They were not sharing their toys well, but they have gotten over that...I bought size specific for each of them and then they swap all the time, so that was a waste.
I have to tell you the funniest thing I have been laughing about all day today with my friends at work...we went on a walk and I was afraid that Ace could not keep up with Aspen and I (we are fast walkers) since we go on 2 mile walks---Ace was the pace car for the walk he was ready to keep going...poor Aspen was pooped! It was funny, not what I expected with Ace's short legs..
Thank you so much for all that you do and for helping us find the perfect fit for out family.
Kristin, Aspen and Ace

 

7/07 Update: My house is now complete, that is with my “two boys”.  When people ask whom I live with, I simply say “my two boys” and of course, I am talking about my four legged boys- my dogs.  Aspen, my first rescue dog was such a blessing.  After two years, it was time to expand the “family” and adopt again.
        When I saw Ace, fell in love with him, and waited hoping that he would be a good match for our family.  I was ecstatic when I finally got the call that Ace was ready for his forever home!  Aspen and Ace went through a short adjustment period to each other of getting used to sharing their toys and my affection.  Ace and Aspen are the best of friends they run, play and get along great!  They enjoy long walks, going to the park, and playing chase with each other in the yard.  Ace loves to play fetch, and he actually brings it back!  Ace is full of energy, love, and is such a little “gentleman”.   Ace is a great listener and is such a cuddle bug. 
        I am so lucky and thankful for the North Carolina Boston Terrier Rescue Organization for bringing us together.  Ace completes our family and I must say that it is a happy one.  Ace brings so much joy to my life.  Aspen loves the company and the playmate. By the way, Ace licks and gives kisses all the time, so I think he likes it here with us too. 
       Thank you so much for all that you do to serve the community and these wonderful, sweet and loving dogs.

Thankfully yours,

Kristin, Aspen and Ace Snodgrass

Otto

Otto is doing great!  It's like he was meant to be with us, he and Max the Pug are getting along wonderfully! They have been playing a lot and they sleep together on the couch. He's a great fellow!

Scottie

Scottie is the 3 year old foster that didn't make it to the adoption block.  He's a real love.

 My 10 year old Boston, Maggie is so much more active with Scottie to play with.  She baggers him with ropes and pull toys all the time.  They just plain wrestle sometimes.  It's a crackup--considering she's about 17 and I bet he's up to 22 now or more.   His backbone no longer sticks up through the fur--that is really good.  But he's still very narrow at the back--very much skin and bone.  But he needs to gain gradually--not all at once. 

 Of course they both sleep with me.

Update 6/07:

Scottie is now a perfect 26 pounds (he arrived at 18 with his spine showing).  He's very much a puppy--rowdy, bouncy and loves to CHEW.  He still gobbles his food like someone might take it, and I have to stay with them while Maggie eats her food more slowly, but he responds to SIT and doesn't bug her.  If I turn my back, he'll go for it--sometime she'll growl and he'll back up but sometimes she just walks away.  He sleeps cuddled up to me--always at least his head on me.  When I'm reading or talking on the phone, he will creep up and gradually drape himself across my lap.  Still loves to put his head on my shoulder. 

Max

I cannot say thank you enough for you guys letting me love Max!
 
He is the best thing!  I am already so in love with him and I cannot imagine life without him!
 
I thought I would share some picture we have already taken...he seems very happy and I think he loves me too!

Update: I wanted to take a few moments to let you know how great Max is doing.
He has really captured my heart. He is very attached to me and I love it...you can just see how much he loves me back.
He has made a couple of new dog 'friends and he enjoys their
company...however, I can tell he would be much happier having a full
time doggie companion.


Dallas (renamed Sir Francis Bugman)

Everything is going great! He is so sweet and we love him! He is getting settled in and and we think he realizes he is in his forever home. We had a fence put in a few days after he came to live with us and he loves it!

 

 

 


Bleu

Blue has settled in just fine and is enjoying his new home. He is no longer afraid to walk on the tile floor! He enjoys running around the house jumping from chair to couch and back again. We had our first training class at Pet Smart on Sunday other then getting into trouble twice for making his Monkey noises he did really good. His adoptive dad is looking forward to meeting him when he comes home from Iraq in May for his two weeks vacation.

 

 

 

 


Rufus

Things are going well. His brother and sisters are all getting along great! They have welcomed him, Muffin and Emily were a little stand-offish for a little bit but by the end of the day they were all working well. He is still looking around the house to check things out but has picked out his places he loves to sleep. He and Rennie espeically are "brothers" they chase and chase around the house after bones and balls. My grandsons came over today for a while and Rufus was right in the middle of them hugging, kissing being petted - I showed them his mouth and his leg and told them about his experiences and that they needed to be careful and not play hard with him.

Note: Rufus joins Emily and Rennie adopted from BTRNC in 2005


 

Kris (renamed Boo)

Boo Boo is doing great. He has his last heartworm treatment this week. He's gained back about 95% mobility (after being hit by a car prior to coming to BTRNC). After nursing my little guy back to health I just couldn't imagine giving him up. As you can see, he & Pip love each other. Boo Boo became my foster 2 days before Christmas.  Thanks BTRNC for the best Christmas gift ever!

Betty (renamed Lucy)

I wanted to let you know that Lucy is doing well. She and Jack have started to nap together on the sofa. It's only be a week but italready feels like we've been together forever. She is such a well behaved little lady. Now that the weather has turned cold, I have a sweater for her to wear while outside. She and Jack have been taking turns eating each other's food. Neither one seems all that interested in their doggie food.


Millie (renamed Phoebe)

I adopted Millie (renamed Phoebe) six weeks ago but it feels like she’s been with us forever. Phoebe was a perfect match for Rascal and I. She is such a sweet, affectionate dog and is so easy going. She is my constant shadow and enjoys having the run of the house. She can’t decide if she prefers soaking up the sun on the patio or on her favorite couch in the sunroom—she’s wearing out the doggie door going back and forthJ

 

Phoebe just finished a week of obedience school. Everyone there (2 and 4 legged) instantly fell in love with her. She was the alpha dog all week—and her trainer said she deserved the “perfect dog award.” Rascal was so lonely without her that he that he had to go to doggie day care and visit her. She now walks perfectly on a leash and can sit/stay. She's still working on not jumping on people.

 

Phoebe gets along great with her new brother Rascal. They are inseparable. They enjoy running their own version of the Boston marathon around the yard each afternoon but their absolute favorite game is tug of war.

 


Hercules

Herc slept in his new bed right beside us last night. We have a rocking chair that he loves to jump onto. It's so funny b/c everytime, he wobbles with with the chair and then jumps off and does it again. My little surfer boy.I'm dying being away from him today but I know he's just sleeping on the couch. I can't get over how much he reminds me of Bartley. He likes the same spots in the house and won't take his eyes off of us when we're in the kitchen with food. Such a little pig. We are so happy to have him and will spoil him rotten!!
