Northeast Boston Rescue (NEBTR) is comprised of volunteers based in NY/NJ and PA and serves Boston Terriers in need within reach of our helping hands.  Most dogs in foster care for placement are adolescent to adult dogs in need of re-homing in life for a multitude of reasons and will need caring hands to guide them as they transition into new homes.  All of our rescue dogs are fostered and evaluated for a 2 week minimum to allow us to assess their personality and provide them with basic foundation skills - House/Crate training, basic manners - to ease their transition into new homes.  It is our belief such work in foster care better prepares dogs for success and helps forms lasting bonds.

NEBTR's single priority in Rescue is to serve the individual dog in our care.  While many loving homes - individuals and families - apply to adopt rescue dogs, we frequently receive multiple application for a dog.  Our placement process is intended to supply the DOG with a home suitable to meet its individual needs.  Rescue volunteers also receive the same screening process as do the adopters.

Your Request for an Adoption Application is the first step to your adoption to enable us to match you with your potential new Best Friend.  References and home visits are also required elements to NEBTR adoption and it is our policy to complete the checks prior to matching dogs to adopters.

NEBTR does not buy or sell dogs

There is an adoption fee for a dog and it usually ranges between $150 and $400 depending on age, health and vet care requirements of the rescued dogs.  Adoption fees are in place to defer the veterinary costs for the dogs in our care.  All vet records known to NEBTR will accompany each dog upon completed adoption.

Our first and primary goal is to provide the best home possible for each dog so they will never have to come into Rescue or live in a Shelter again.  Placement is made based on the needs of each dog and the opportunity offered by an applicant's home.

Please feel free to review our application procedures and submit a request for consideration.

If you are going to shop on-line, please use iGive.com and list NEBTR as your charity. They have hundreds of stores, so you are bound to find what you are looking for, and NEBTR will get a percentage of every sale, at no additional cost to you.
