The greatest reward is to see our BT's enjoy their new loving forever families. Cheers to the wonderful individuals who adopt a dog through rescues and make our work worthwhile and thanks to everyone who was involved in offering these dogs a life that they deserve.

Adopted Dogs (Dogs that are underlined have updates)
*If you adopted a BTRNC dog and you would like to submit a Happy Ending of your own, please email the webmaster with your updates and/or photos
He is learning more and more with each passing week and we have complete confidence that in time he will be a very relaxed well trained dog. He has continued to get better on his walks and it seems like the Pet Smart training is helping him learn to obey us much better. We are dedicated to him and love him very much. Fortunately it looks like Finn just needed a little extra time to get settled into his new home. Thank you for everything you and the BTRNC has done for him and his sweet little life. We are grateful for all of the hard work that is done to make sure that all of the dogs get good homes. Thank you for blessing us with our new member of the family.
Update: Wendy is definitely a Mama's girl and I'm loving it. She has really socialized well with very little guidance to all of our family members, including the 4 other BT's. She knows all the words we use for the dogs-- her favorites are "breakfast", "treat", and "suppertime". She runs to the bed when we say "bedtime" and goes under the covers when we say "night-night"--sooo cute. We feel very blessed to have Wendy and are grateful to BTRNC for giving us the opportunity to have her in our lives, and to you and your husband for opening your home to foster her.
I'm in LOVE! He is just the sweetest, most well behaved, cuddliest little guy I've ever had! :-) He has spent time with many other dogs since December (always supervised) and is doing great. He no longer lunges at other dogs when we are on the leash - he actually wants to go up to them. He is playing all the time with his toys and lately he and the cat have starting play with each other. Until the cat decides he's had enough and goes away (you know how cats are). We went on a walk yesterday and the neighbors daughter, who is about 3, wanted to pet him. Her parents know about Tyson and we were very cautious as she pet him. He sat there so well - although he kept looking at me. Then he went up to her for more attention. It was so sweet! I'm just so thankful that I went with a rescue and that I got such a perfect match for me.
He is getting over his thunder phobia- used to be that nothing would calm him. then he went to hiding under the bed, then behind the recliner. Now, he's happy in my lap, under a cover. He doesn't give kisses though- unless it's dark, and he sneaks one on your arm under the covers. I think he may have been punished for it. And, you would think that for all that he's been through, he would be afraid at the vets. Nope. He's as happy as a clam to go there- or anywhere, for that matter. He loves his walkies, but is somewhat afraid of the dark. I took him camping, and there was nothing you could do to make him go out of the cabin into the dark woods. He jumped back in the bed, as if to say "I'm fine here, thanks." He is a total comfort hound, who loves to sleep as close as he can to his human, and he makes the sweetest little grunting noises as he is getting comfortable. Rub his belly, and he breaks into a grin. Guinness does not do mornings either. there are many mornings (especially when it's cold) that I have to carry him to the back door. And rain?? Oh no. There's something about rescues that were strays, and have really experienced the elements, that once they are warm, they don't want anything to do with it ever again.
Davey (renamed Spencer) My husband and I adopted Davey on June 27, 2008 and he is such a joy to US. We renamed him Spencer and he is a great companion to our three other dogs. We have another Boston named Sable, a boxer named Stretch and a mix named Sparks. They all love each other and get along wonderfully...I just happened to run up on Spencer at the vet with his foster mom (a wonderful lady) and fell in love with him...the love of my life Sydney (another Boston) died almost two years ago now and when I saw Spencer at the vet, somehow I knew this dog was meant to be with me. Thank you again for what you do and to all the foster families out there, thank you so much...
Turkie is doing great. She loves to play fetch any second she gets, and is so playful with other dogs when we go to the doggie park (she likes the big dogs much better than the little ones). She pounds the ground with her front paws when she gets excited around new people. Turkie definitely lets us know when she wants to go outside and run because she will do hundred-mile/hour circles around the house as fast as her little legs can go. Ben and I say to each other quite frequently that we cannot believe we ended up with such an uplifting & intelligent pup that somehow fit perfectly into the style of our lives. Thank you so much, BTRNC foster parents and volunteers. She is still doing great. We have figured out that it must be our back yard that she doesn’t like when she has to go potty. So, we try to take both doggies for short walks in the am and then longer in the pm to give them room and flat ground to go! (Our back yard is a hill and I guess she doesn’t like walking downhill to find her spot!) She and Bosko have found out that they like to play tug of war and keep away! As we told you Bosko LOVES toys and even though he has a few favorites, he thinks they all belong to him! So, even if Allie pulls one out he hasn’t seen in a while he will try to snatch it! But she has figured out if she holds on tight, or runs away with it, it is a fun game! She understands where the toy basket is and that she can go there and get whatever she wants. Also, they have found out they can do the crazy doggie run around our dining room table until their little hearts are content. Bosko will take a toy and Allie will chase him around the table until one of them gets bored or needs a drink! Thanks again for Allie! We are all adjusting well!
I want him to be able to enjoy the last 1/2 of his little life - he SO deserves it. Whatever he needs to have done we'll do it. He is our angel dog from heaven. We are SO glad we adopted him. Thank you so much for trusting us and giving us this precious little guy.
Lily, renamed luna, is doing great! We had a fabulous car ride with lots of cuddling, followed by a pleasant meeting with her new brother and more cuddling once we were in the house. She is definitely a love bug and is not afraid to demand a lot of love from her new mommy and daddy! Update: Just giving you an update about Luna. She is doing great! She's been playing friendly games of tug of war with her brother scrapper this week and is more tolerant of "her" mommy giving affection to him as well. She sits like a good girl now like it's old news and has found new interest in dog treats now that she sees her brother eat them. She wants to do everything he does!She continues to bring so much love and laughter into my life, thank you so much for the work you and your volunteers do. I just wanted to pass you a line to let you know how Sally and Daisy are doing, which is awesome! Sally is quite affectionate towards my boyfriend and is actually now preferring the male attention over mine. She is content to lay/sit/stand as close to your body as possible and loves giving kisses. We're finding that Daisy has two personalities - one that's extremely laid back and reserved when you're in the house working or watching tv and another one when there is water or walks involved. She turns into a 2 month old puppy turning little doggie somersaults to show us how excited she is!
September 2008 Update: Pepper just graduated from obedience school
with honors. He won 2 out of 3 games and was close in the last
game. He loved socializing with his classmates and enjoys showing
what he has learned to anyone who wants to see. His foster mom,
as well as 3 friends came to his graduation. They all clapped and
cheered for Pepper and he certainly enjoyed the a
2009 Update: I can't believe Pixie has been here for a year already. I love her soooo much. Right now she's up in front of the door laying in the sun. When the sun moves away from her pillow she comes down to my office and jumps on me, have to go move the pillow in the sun. What a brat! You'd never know Pixie had mange, her coat is beautiful, more brindley every day. She still is eating Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Salmon plus 100% Wild Salmon oil on her breakfast every morning. We have banana and strawberry too! Pixie is doing great, very happy and fussed over by everybody. We survived the winter, the sub zero temps had us wearing double layers:her insulated barn coat under her LL Bean canvass coat! We love to walk and go about a couple of miles plus a day. I keep looking at her saying YOU are so, neglected and abused!!! (Two beds, two pillows, toys, 3 blankies, food/treats galore) She looks at me and yawns!
Just wanted to send you
a quick note on how wonderful it is to have Babe as a
We have had our new girl Marilyn 3 weeks now!
She has fit right into our family. I can't begin to tell you how
blessed we feel with her, especially since she was already familiar
with ferrets! We loved her right from the start but who wouldn't? She
is such a special dog!

Lilo has adapted well
to her new home. She is still a bit nervous in new environments, but
she loves people, other dogs and is great with our 2 year old son. Lilo
loves to ride in the car and enjoys sitting with my husband while he
works. She also enjoys fetching a ball and sleep in sunny spots in the
afternoon. We haven't had any GI issues since she has come home and is
an excellent eater! She is a wonderful addition to our family and we
are very grateful for the wonderful people at BTRNC. Thanks especially
to August who welcomed us into her home and chose us to be Lilo's
"forever family". 
We
love Scotch! He has brought so much joy into our lives. We adopted him
in October 2008. He has adjusted very well to our home. He is a little
couch potato. He sits on the sofa and watches football with his daddy.
We spent Thanksgiving at Edisto Beach, SC and he loved it. He ran in
the surf and played in the sand. He is such a joy! Thanks BTRNC for
helping him find is forever home with us. We look forward to many more
memories in 2009! 
I'm going to tell you a story to
describe how well Wendy is doing. I adopted a long-haired
dachshund from my local "pound". He was about 5 years old and the
victim of a divorce. He immediately claimed me as his person and
I adored that dog for 9 wonderful years. When I came into the
room, NOTHING could keep him away from me. My son would hold on
to him and all I had to do was give Kenny (my dog) a look and he would
struggle to get to me. It took two years before I stopped crying
every time I saw a red long-haired dachshund. Anyway, I asked
David how he liked Wendy and he said "It looks like you finally
got your Kenny-dog back". And that's exactly how I feel.
Wendy is in my lap, following me, or sleeping right up against me ALL
the time. I thought I was getting a playmate for Carrie, but what
I really got was another Kenny, and I needed that.
Guinness is great!! After scaring me 1/2 to
death last January (4 days in the hospital- I wasn't sure he was going
to make it!), he is a very playful, sweet bostie. Not the
brightest bulb, but very affectionate and playful. Did I say
playful?? Most of the time, his butt is in the air, in a play
bow. He loves to play "chase me!" with the other two. He LIVES to
play ball. He also seems so grateful for everything. He
still seems amazed at mealtimes, like "wow- this is great!" 
Even though Quincy and her new Boston brother, Kennedy,
had a rocky start, they have grown to understand the most important
rule in any male/female combination – LADIES RULE. Quincy has
been affectionately nicknamed HRH (for Her Royal Highness) and has not
met a human that does not love her and want to smuggle her home with
them. Thankfully she loves us most of all and has decided to stay
despite her many offers of “a new home.” While she loves her
walks and to nap in the lowcountry sun, meal time is her favorite part
of the day and she always performs a little dance to show her
joy! Both Q and Kennedy also love bedtime where they fight for
the most amount of bed space (under the covers of course!!!)
Quincy is looking forward to her first holiday season in Charleston and
we are thrilled to have her as part of our family!!!
I wanted to let you all know
that
Peanut is doing wonderfully! It did not take long for her and Pete to
bond like brother and sister. We adopted Peanut in early June and are
very thankful we did. She is a wonderful pup who loves steal blankets
and horde all the toys. In the picture, Peanut is the pillow and Pete
is in front. As you can see, they very much enjoy to lounge around.
Peanut has gotten over a lot of her smaller issues since coming to us.
Unfortunately she has developed a mammary tumor, but the vet has high
hopes for her, so keep us in your prayers! She is definitely part of my
life and I don't think I could have gotten a better dog!
My husband and I are
so
happy we found Bugsy. He is such a wonderful, sweet and intelligent
dog. All of our friends and family have fallen in love
with him. He loves to cuddle and loves to be taken on walks and rides
in the car. He doesn't care for any door to be closed, so he
will just lay in front of the door and try to get his nose
under it. He loves treats. Treats make his little tail
wag. Recenty, I have noticed that he falls asleep
quickly when he is on clothes that have just come out of the
dryer. I think he loves the smell. We are so lucky to have
him in our family. Thank you ! 
I wanted to let you know that
Max
is doing great. It was love at first sight when we saw his
picture on the internet. Now that he is here, we cannot believe
how fortunate we are. Max is the perfect fit for our
family. He is gentle with the children and is very affectionate
with all of us. He is eating and sleeping well and seems to
love running around the back yard. We are still trying to teach
him to drop the ball because he definitely loves to play catch.
There is excitement and joy all around when the kids get home from
school. Thank you so much for bringing him to us.
As I type this, Puggles is sitting in my lap
with his chin resting beside the keyboard. :-) We have really
bonded. He stays right by me 24/7 and I LOVE IT! He
has just fit right in - in every way. His personality is
blossoming and he gets funnier every day. For instance, he likes to sit
on the sofa or chair. But not in the seat, on the top of the back
cushion. It is hilarious!!!
2009 Update: She's our adventurous
angel! She has made great strides with meeting new people and
learning commands. She walks well on her leash, sits, lays down &
shakes her paw.
Here are the two babies together...Molly
& Niko. They are awaiting a piece of apple. Don't they
look cute together? They are doing well and I am sure that Niko
will help Molly become more active which is a good thing. 
ttention, as well as the special treats he
received on graduation night. Pepper loves his forever home and
his mom surely loves him.
Pixie and I have
been together since March 25th. It was a long journey since we live in
the Boston area but, she was worth every mile I drove to meet her in
Dover, DE. Pixie and I bonded immediately, and she had no problem going
from a rural setting w/her foster family to suburban Canton, MA. We are
now soul mates, Miss Pixie filled a big void in my heart after losing
my Boston boy to a brain tumor. She's loved, spoiled, pampered and the
neighborhood Queen bee! Thank you so much for taking a chance and
letting the little girl travel to her forever home in New England!!
We have only had Lucy for two weeks but she has quickly
become a member of the family! She loves to play with her toys
and run around the back yard. She loves riding in the car
and goes everywhere we go, and she can't get enough walks! We
absolutely LOVE her! Thank you BTRNC for all of your hard work
and dedication on behalf of the animals you help and the people whose
lives you enrich by adding to their families! Lucy has definitely
found her forever home!
She is the smallest dog
here
but definitely the Queen Bee. She has personality plus and her big dog
antics keep us laughing. We're so glad she decided to adopt us.
