There have been a large number of Bostons in danger recently, either at shelters or at risk from abusive owners. We desperately need more foster homes so we can continue to give them all a chance at a happy life in a forever home. If you can open up your heart to do this, please fill out an application here, and we will get back to you. Thanks so much!
If you are already approved to foster by another rescue group, there is a special form for you to fill out located here.

Serving Bostons in NY, NJ & PA. We also have volunteers in CT and DE.
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.
This little Boston Terrier was callously dropped off in the outdoor run of a shelter in the middle of the night. She was outside all alone during a horrible thunderstorm. She was found the next morning by the shelter staff. The only paperwork that was found was a sheet that said she was a "full breed" Boston Terrier, "...her name is Belle, she is 2 years old, good with children, housebroken." And to the question "why are you surrendering this animal?" the answer was illness. She is a sweet little girl. When the shelter first saw her, they thought she had mange because she has lost large patches of hair and has infected sores all over her hind quarters. She was definitely not taken care of. Her toenails were extremely long and she had a severe infestation of fleas. It is thought that her hair loss is from a flea infestation that was not addressed and she also has obvious pain in her hind quarters.
The vet found problems with three of her legs. One has a luxating patella, and the vet said that one might have a previous flexor injury that was never treated. She also had to have a biopsy on growths on her hind quarters.
Belle is now safe and sound in a NEBTR foster home and on the road to recovery so she can find her very own home that will love her and take care of her for the rest of her life. She has her whole life ahead of her and we will make sure starting today it is happy one!
