Rescues & Adoptions
| Each of our Rescued Bostons are special to us and each one takes a little piece of our hearts with them to their forever homes. When kind people like these offer a Boston a loving, nurturing home it is very exciting and rewarding. These happy endings should be shared and celebrated! This page is a tribute to the Bostons who have come to MBTR and the wonderful people who made a "happy ending" possible for them. Sometimes as overworked volunteers, we forget our cameras but we'd love to have photos of all our adoptees and their new families. If you have a photo you'd like added to the Happy Tails page, please e-mail it to us and we'll be happy to add it! |
Bentley was surrendered to a shelter by his owners because "he was getting old". The shelter felt that they could not
adopt a senior dog and asked if we could take Bentley. We happily accepted this 10 year old gentleman and he was
transported up to us by the Gulfcoast SPCA. It was soon evident why Bentley's owners had surrendered him. Although
house trained, he was having tee-tee accidents on the floor. He would try to make it outside but didn't always quite get
there. Being the gentleman that he is, we could see that this greatly distressed Bentley although we never chastised
him for it. We knew he could not help it and he was trying so hard. When our vet examined Bentley, he found that he
had a bladder stone about the size of a marble which was causing him trouble. He was scheduled for surgery, the stone
removed, and three short weeks post-op Bentley is a new man! He also had a thorough teeth cleaning procedure which
made him feel much better and those teeth look young and white again. When the vet examined him initially, she said
that his heart didn't even sound like a 10 year old dog....and after his stone was removed, Bentley doesn't act like a 10
y/o dog! Quiet and perfectly well-mannered in the house...you'd forget he was even around. But watch him shed about
9 years when you get that squeaky toy out! He LOVES to play fetch. While there's no such thing as a "perfect dog",
Bentley is pretty dog-gone close!! Coming to us shortly before Christmas, Bentley was able to sit in Santa's lap and tell
him that all he wanted for Christmas was a loyal, forever family that would love him and he could love back. Old St.
Nick must have whispered this into the ears of an absolutely wonderful, kind hearted couple from Denham Springs, LA.
because they, undaunted by a few gray hairs around his muzzle, applied to adopt Bentley. It is indeed special, selfless
people who offer an older dog a loving home to spend his golden years in. Bentley will begin the New Year with a
renewed health and a wonderful new home and family. Christmas wishes really do come true!!

Rose was picked up as a stray in Ashland, AL
and taken to a local vet's office. When her
owner could not be located, she came to MBTR
so she could find a new one. She's one little
enthuastic little gal and there's no doubt at all
about when she's happy because she wags her
whole back end!! This adorable little
"wiggle-butt" is a loving little soul with lots of
energy who likes to run and play. She was
fortunate to get just the home she needed when
a family from Zachary, LA applied to adopt her.
They offered her a great home with a big back
yard where she could run to her hearts desire.
She now has a cutie-pie Boston brother named
"Noah" who is even more energetic than she is.
Maybe these two can play enough to wear
each other's energy out and their very patient
family can have some peaceful evenings :o)

Karlee is now the happiest girl in all of Pensacola, Florida! Not only has she
found her forever home and now has an absolutely wonderful, kind new mom,
but she now lives only 10 minutes from her best friend who was adopted in
2009! Karlee and Jasmine were surrendered from the same puppymill
where there were no less than 5 different breeds being produced and dozens
and dozens of dogs in crowed, dirty kennels. They were the best of friends
while in foster care and stuck together like glue! When a family member of
the same family who adopted Jasmine decided that she too would like to
provide a happy home for a Boston that has had a rough start in life, she
applied to adopt Karlee....now Karlee lives only a few minutes from Jasmine
and will have frequent play dates and sleep overs! We hope these two girls
will bring years and years of love and enjoyment to their families. No doubt
this wonderful family has brought happiness to these two little Boston girls
unlike they've ever had the pleasure of knowing before!! No more cold
winter nights on a cold concrete floor, or unbearbly hot summer days in a
dirty outdoor breeding kennel for these two little gals! And no doubt Karlee
and Jasmine will get together on Super Bowl Sunday to cheer on the Saints
because they are both huge New Orleans fans!! Geaux Saints!!

I think it's safe to say that Buster is now well on the
way to being spoiled rotten just like his two handsome
brothers! What a handsome trio of Boston boys!!
Pepper (far left) had a talk with his Mom & Dad last
summer and told them he needed a new brother. Both
are employed in Emergency Response occupations so
what else would they do but "Rescue"! They adopted
Cas last summer and then we all know how Boston
ownership is....'one is never enough and two just won't
do. So this wonderful couple opened their hearts and
home up to one more Boston who was in need of a
loving home and added Bilbo (now Buster) to their
pack!

After being found wondering the streets of a small town in Louisiana, Teddy
faced a long road to recovery. He was thin and his foster mom quickly
realized that Teddy had a broken jaw. We don't know how he sustained the
injury...probably struck by a car because he did have some signs of road rash.
Teddy had to go through two surgeries to repair his jaw followed by long
recovery time after each. Teddy was also heartworm positive and then had to
endure the drawn out process of going through heartworm treatments. After
all was said and done, Teddy was in foster care for over a year but now he has
finally recovered and is a happy, healthy young playful Boston again! He has
been adopted by a gentleman who just recently retired and wants a buddy to
spend time with and go places with. Since Teddy loves attention, car rides,
and being a lap dog, this is right up his alley. Teddy is now happy to call
Pride, Louisiana his new home! We're sure Teddy will be very happy in his
new home but will always be grateful to his foster mom in Vicksburg, MS who
so patiently and lovingly nursde him back to health and gave him a second
chance to live a happy, pampered life as a cherished pet rather than roaming
the streets as a tired, injured, hungry stray.

Dodger was found as a stray and taken to a vet's office
in Ashland, Alabama. No one ever claimed Dodger so
he came to MBTR to recover and find a new home.
Dodger was suffering from an infection on his feet and
legs but it quickly cleared up with antibiotics. Once
feeling better, sweet Dodger began to thrive, gain
weight, and become more energetic and playful. This
very handsome, well built, beautifully marked Boston is
have all grown quite attached to him. And even though
we'll miss him, we are so happy that he's found an
absolutely wonderful forever home in Brandon,
Mississippi! He now resides with his new mom and her
roommate, both of whom seem so very kind, patient, and
willing to give Dodger the kind of home he's always
wished for. His new mom said she wanted a pup who
liked to cuddle on the couch. Dodger is definitely the
guy for the job! He's an expert at snuggling. There's
one thing very special about our little Dodger...he's deaf.
These ladies don't care. They are willing to love him
just as he is. You're a lucky pup, Dodger! We wish our
handsome boy nothing but happiness in his new home.

Lovely little Maggie Marie was living a happy life in her
Louisiana home until her elderly owner had to go into a
nursing home and her children could not keep Maggie. They
contacted a local vet's office to surrender Maggie and just
as luck would have it, one of the Animal Control workers was
bringing another dog to MBTR the very next day. They
called and asked if we'd also take Maggie and of course we
took her! Who could say "no" to a face like that! Maggie
stayed only a short time in foster care before a very kind
couple from Byram, Mississippi offered her a new, forever
home. There's not doubt that Maggie will be a happy, loved
little Boston. Her new parents are experienced Boston
owners and already have two adorable BT's. Maggie will
share her new home with sister, "Lindsey" and brother,
"Gunnie". Maggie was always a kind and gentle little soul
with other dogs while she was in foster care so we think she
will quickly take right up with her new Boston brother and
sister. It's very obvious that Maggie's new parents love
their doggie kids very much and Maggie is very fortunate
that these lovely people have opened their hearts and home
to another little BT in need. We know it won't be long before
she will be spoiled rotten!!

Bit Bit is a darling little girl of about 4 months of age who was surrendered by her owner when she was no
longer able to care for her due to medical reasons. Her former owner had been very attentive to Bit Bit, had
spent lots of time with her, and obviously loved her very much. She was one of the smartest pups we've ever
seen for such a little thing. Even at this very early age, she was already crate trained and would wait to go
outside to potty and she never chewed anything but her toys. Even though her foster family preferred adult
dogs, Bit Bit worked her charm on them and showed them just how exceptionally well behaved she was. Pups
her age are just too young to have good house manners but she seems to be one of those "one in a million"
babies that was wise beyond her age!! Her foster family decided that they must make her a permanent
member of their family and adopted her! We look forward to watching her grow into a beautiful Boston lady!!

The guys went shopping at Petco the very next day and ended their trip with a stop at the snack bar! Do these
kids even know how lucky they are?....yea, they do! Just look at those mischevious Bostonian faces. It's a
good thing Mom & Dad are in good shape...keeping up with these three has to be a work out! Can't wait to see
what fun they are going to get into this summer. Their nick-names together...Snap! Crackle! and Pop!
Congratulations Buster...you're one lucky pup!
