Mission Statement
The Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee is an affiliate of the Boston Terrier Rescue Network and a registered non-profit in the State of Tennessee. In addition to Tennessee, we actively operate in 14 other southern states and collaborate with other Boston Terrier rescues across the country.
About This Cause
All breeds have their own particular needs and rescued pets have special requirements as well, very often in want of medical care, often lacking nourishment and kindness, and often expensive to rehabilitate. We operate under the auspices of the National Boston Terrier Rescue mission and cover the Southeastern and East Coast states with the help of our Representatives and Foster Home networks. We share information and resources across the USA with affiliated Boston Rescue shelters and independent shelters, rescues and friends. We will not refuse any Boston Terrier for rescue, regardless of background or medical condition or age. We will not euthanize, nor allow euthanasia except in those rarest of cases of continued suffering as a result of some injury or illness, and then only on the hard recommendation of our veterinary, after all other means of relief are exhausted. Adoption is a simple process but matching the right pet to the right owner can be more difficult. There is an adoption application that must be completed, reference checks, vet checks, etc., and an adoption fee depending on specific circumstances as well as an adoption contract to protect both the pet and the new owner should for any reason, "things not work out." Some, but certainly not all of these dogs have various problems often not associated with the normal "house pet" relationship. Some come from cruel, hostile and abusive situations; some are near starving or have other physical problems. They may come to us with broken spirits as well as broken hearts and special dogs like these need special people to care for them. Fortunately, most others come from loving and caring families who simply find themselves in circumstances where for a variety of reasons they can no longer care for their pets as they would wish. These good people do the right thing: they allow others to adopt and care for their pets as lovingly as they would if they could. Our primary goal is to place a dog in the most suitable environment, based on the animal's individual needs and its temperament. The commitment is lifelong and the Boston's interests are always foremost.
