We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of a team of diligent volunteers. We are dedicated to rescuing and finding loving homes for the short nose dogs of Oklahoma and surrounding areas.
First we will take time to review your application, and depending on the current volume of applications this could take 5-7 days. We process all applications in the order they come in and try to process them as quickly as possible. You should receive a confirmation email when your application has been received. Please remember we are a 100% volunteer based organization. We all have day jobs to pay our bills so that we can save Boston Terriers at night. You are welcome to email us to check on the status of your application, but please allow at least 3 days before doing so, we do work hard to process applications as fast as possible. After we have reviewed your application we will then put in a call to your veterinarian and personal references. If everything checks out well, we will then contact you for a home visit. The time this takes depends on your schedule and our volunteers’ availability, but at this point you will be in the loop about the scheduling. After a successful home visit, we will then contact you and let you know. If the dog you want is already available we will work out a time for pickup. If you are just in the process of being pre-approved for a dog, we will put you on the list of pre-approved adopters. If a dog you are interested in becomes available you will just need to contact us to let us know you are interested, and we will work with you. Pre-approval will put you ahead of new applicants. (Also, if you are interested in fostering to adopt please let us know, and we will work with you on that process as well). (Please note that just because a dog is still on our page does not mean it has not had application put in for it. We only mark dogs pending adoption if the potential adopter has passed all aspects of the application process and we are just working out a pickup date; or we have received multiple, promising applications for the same dog. We will always let you know before the home visit if the dog you are interested in has possibly been spoken for, and will still encourage you to get pre-approved. We continually get Boston Terriers into our rescue and may get in an even better match for your family very soon.)
