South Texas Boston Terrier Rescue

It is with a heavy heart that I must share the news that our beloved "Granny" earned her wings early this morning. Despite what her lab results showed, her body was simply weary, and she chose to depart on her own terms. Granny passed away in my arms, with my dear husband by our side. We are grieving, yet we find solace in the fact that we provided a loving home to an elderly shelter dog who was not expected to live beyond four to six months due to her inability to walk. On her first day with us, she was so frail and in pain from arthritis that I had to ask my father to help me carry her inside the house using a wagon. She had clearly been through multiple pregnancies and her health had suffered from neglect before she was abandoned at a shelter. My heart went out to her, and I was determined to ensure her remaining years were comfortable under my care. Thankfully, she flourished with us for nearly two and a half years, regaining strength each week through daily medications, supplements, and special meals. Gradually, Granny became an integral part of our family. She loved being with us, keeping up with every move we made. She even managed to keep our Boston boys in line when they became too boisterous! Granny's zest for life returned, and she began to play with toys again. She had a passion for car rides and was especially fond of food! Her favorite spot was in my garden, where she would keep me company as I gardened, always eager to sneak a taste of my tomatoes or peppers.Granny's absence will be deeply felt in our home. She was a darling and an absolute joy. It's hard to imagine she was once considered unwanted. Ultimately, we are the fortunate ones to have provided love and care during her last years. I would willingly do it all over again for her.If you ever find the time and have the compassion, please consider fostering or adopting a senior dog. They offer an abundance of love, and sometimes it takes a small break in your heart to mend theirs. It's truly worth

Hello, my name is Boots and I love people, I will stick to you like velcro and sleep in your lap any time you rest. I am only 2 years old and I am still learning about the weird items of the human and dog world. I love trying new things. Despite my everlasting love for humans, I do not share the same feelings for other dogs so much. I do best when I'm the only dog in the house. I have also started a gig for being a human shadow. I have an amazing talent of catching bugs in mid air and bending and wiggling when I'm happy to see you. Whose lap can Boots spend her happy days in?

Thank You, Boston Terrier Tribe! We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support from the Boston Terrier Tribe. Your contributions have made a significant impact on our journey to get Zora the medical attention she needs. Your generosity and kindness have provided financial assistance and we are humbled and touched by the compassion and solidarity of this amazing community. Thank you for being there for us and for Zora. Your support means the world to us.

Richie, an 8-month-old puppy brimming with energy, is quickly learning to understand his boundaries, even though his playful bites can sometimes be a bit too enthusiastic. Excelling with toys and with a fondness for gnawing on bones and chews, he's already crate trained and making progress with potty training. His boundless affection for everyone makes him an ideal companion for a household with or without other pets, as long as he receives the stimulation he needs to thrive. Currently fostered in San Antonio, TX, Richie's adoption process is facilitated through stbtr.org, where potential adopters can submit their applications and begin the journey of welcoming this joyful pup into their lives.

Where are our Senior loving adopters?? Sweet Beau is ready to find his forever home. He is 8 years young, 27lbs, and a handsome brindle boy! Beau is more of a gentle, quiet guy. He would probably enjoy a laid-back home with a fenced yard as taking leash walks arent really his favorite thing. Beau does love fetching balls! He gets so excited about playing fetch with them. Beau does get along with the other dogs in his foster home. He doesnt bother them and is perfectly happy lounging on a couch doing his own thing. He is also potty trained and tolerates crating if needed. He is very quiet and relaxed inside the home. Beau has been neutered and he is ready for his new home. Beau is drawn more to men, but still good with women as well. We are screening applications now. His adoption fee is $300 and is being fostered in the Houston TX area. If you havent been approved yet and are interested in adopting Beau, you can fill out an adoption form at stbtr.org

Here's what we know about Stella Bella: She's two. 38.4 lbs. Clean bill of health from vet. Heartworm negative, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Great with other dogs, likes a bath, good with nails trimmed, house and crate trained, playful, affectionate, knows several commands, loves car rides and is leash trained. Stella is going to require a patient, knowledgeable, structured home. It WILL take her awhile to warm up and accept new surroundings and people. She WILL react initially by barking, growling and charging, out of fear. She has not indicated a desire to bite at any time. Once she trusts, she is an amazing companion. Just need to be the one who can help her feel safe and continue exposure to new things and people. Very proud at her reactions today at the vet. Feel free to reach out via messenger or email [email protected] if interested in Stella. Applications can be found at www.stbtr.org. ##adoptdontshop

We are not out of the woods! We have had some major setbacks including seizures, neurological symptoms and vomiting. But we talked to the vet who is treating him and he wasn’t ready to give up. His liver values are very high for a young pup which could indicate a life altering condition or it could be from the trauma he survived. We are hopefully optimistic that the liver will heal itself as he heals from the trauma. The foster has been awesome and it certainly helps that she works as a tech at the clinic treating him. She’s named him Maverick because he has a fighting spirit. The next couple of weeks will be key. Were the seizures and liver values caused by his trauma? If so, the vet believes time will tell the tale. If he continues to improve more blood work will be done to assess the liver again. Please continue to send positive vibes and prayers his way. His bill through yesterday at the clinic is up to $1430. Donations toward his care can be sent via PayPal to [email protected]. Our special special thanks to Mykala for jumping in to help a rescue she knew nothing about before she saw him and was told we had pulled him. She reached out and offered her help immediately.
