Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue (NEBTR) is comprised of volunteers based in NY, NJ, PA, CT and DE 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.
Filling out an online 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. Please note that even if you apply for a specific dog that it doesn’t mean you will adopt that dog. If you are applying for a specific dog please know that there are no guarantees that the dog will still be available or you will be the best match. A dog will not be placed on hold and if there are multiple applications the home best suited for the dog’s needs will be chosen. However, even if you think you are interested in a specific one, there may be others that will be a good fit for you, and you will be given this information when you have your phone interview. Incoming pups and placements are an ongoing process. We primarily accept applications from Boston lovers in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, but have adopted to those in other states depending on the circumstances.
