Volunteer

We are a strictly non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to rescuing primarily purebred Boston Terriers and secondarily Boston Terrier mixes. Volunteers are devoted to the health, well being and future of each dog. Below is a list of all the aspects involved in rescuing these dogs. We can use assistance in any or all of these areas. Once your application has been received, you'll be invited to join our Yahoo Group.





Fostering
*Foster Homes Needed Now*

BTRNC cannot operate without foster homes. The fewer foster homes available, the fewer dogs we can save. Foster families agree to accept a dog into their home as one of their own, take it to the vet for any needed medical treatments (with the cost paid for by us!), nurture the dog, and get to know the dog well enough so BTRNC can write an accurate bio on the dog. You will find out, to the best of your ability, if the dog does well with other dogs, cats, children and adults. You'll report the dog's quirks, likes, dislikes and anything else someone would want to know about one of our dogs before choosing to adopt it. If this is something you are interested in, PLEASE don't hesitate to submit an application.  BTRNC pays all veterinary expenses for each of its foster dogs.

For more information about becoming a foster, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.

 

Transport

When a dog comes into rescue, we must arrange transport to the BTRNC foster home. We also help transport dogs to their new forever homes. We are always in need of volunteers who can help with transport on occasion.

 

Home Visits

We need more volunteers to do home visits in their area. A home visit entails visiting an applicant's home after their application has been successfully processed to meet the family. We are looking to see that what the family has told us about their home, yard and lifestyle is true. We want to meet existing pets to  give us a better idea of which of our Bostons would do best in that home.


Fundraising

Because BTRNC is a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help us accomplish our mission of rescuing Boston Terriers.  If you are creative or just don't mind lending a hand to help out, we could use you in the area of fundraising!  Volunteers organize fundraising events, search out new fundraising opportunities, set up BTRNC information booths, and help staff events where BTRNC is represented.
