Introducing your rescued Boston Terrier to your family
Dog rescues are created by people who love a specific breed of dog, like the Boston Terrier, and want to make sure that every dog has the opportunity to live a long and happy life that is free from neglect and cruelty. Boston Terrier rescues are usually only interested in rescuing purebred Boston Terriers and relinquish other dog breeds to other shelters. By limiting themselves to rescuing only one type of dog, rescuers are able to recognize and care for health and personality issues that are unique to the breed. Once a Boston Terrier rescuer is satisfied that the dogs they are rescuing are mentally and physically healthy, they work to find a home where the dog can live out the rest of its life as a valued and respected member of the family.
There are a variety of reasons why dog lovers choose their new Boston Terrier from a Boston Terrier rescue. In some situations, the rescue is conveniently located. Some people see a photo of a rescued Boston Terrier posted by the rescuer on the web or on a grocery store bulletin board and fall in love with the dog. Other dog lovers go to a Boston Terrier rescue for their next dog because, while they like the qualities often found in Boston Terriers, they can’t afford the high price of a purebred puppy. Many people who adopt a Boston Terrier from a rescue like the idea that they are giving the dog a better life than the one it has ever known.
The average Boston Terrier is a wonderful family dog. They rarely bark. They are good with children of all ages. They love people. They are gentle and intelligent. Since they are a short-haired dog breed, they require a minimal amount of grooming. They are easy to train. When adopting a Boston Terrier from a Boston Terrier Rescue, you need to remember that the dog you will be adopting probably did not come from a happy well-adjusted place. Chances are the dog you are bringing home has been the victim of abuse or neglect. Some dogs that come from this type of environment never seem to have a problem adjusting to a new life, but others are physically or emotionally scarred by their experiences.
If the Boston Terrier you are considering adopting has physical injuries, the people at the Boston Terrier Rescue Center will be able to tell you what the dog will need to stay comfortable and healthy. If the dog suffers from anxiety or phobias, make sure your house will provide the dog with the kind of environment it needs to feel safe and loved.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that they will get a free dog from a rescue center. In most situations, they are wrong. The whole purpose of Boston Terrier rescue is to get dogs out of a less desirable situation and place them with people and families who will love them. Most of the rescuers organize the castration or sterilization of the dog and that they are up to date on their photos. After addressing the dogs physical health, the rescuer takes the necessary steps to learn the dogs personality and if there are any environments that the dogs cannot handle (such as small children, cats, or other dogs).
Boston Terrier Rescue usually has anyone looking to adopt a dog fill out a detailed application that will help them find the right dogs with the right people. All this takes time, effort and money. One way Boston Terrier rescues can recoup their losses is to charge a nominal adoption fee. The other reason dog rescues charge an adoption fee is because they’ve learned that when a person pays for something, they tend to value it more.
