Max is in need, can you help?
Max is a handsome 3 year old yellow Labrador who has ended up homeless again, through no fault of his own. Max's owner has fallen on hard times and can no longer care for him. Poor Max is going to be so sad and putting him into boarding would break his big heart so we are seeking a foster home for this loveable mush. Max is housebroken, snuggly, listens well, and is great with other dogs and kids. Max does have a limp in his front leg that Boston Dog Rescue will have evaluated once he is settled him into his foster home. If you can open up your heart and home for Max, please contact BDR. All associated care for Max, including a midday dog walker, will be reimbursed by BDR.

What ever happened to... SIERRA?

Dogs and Kids?
A popular question that we often get asked is, "Does your organization adopt out dogs to families with young children?" Simply stated, "Yes." Some of the pictures above are of our adopted dogs with their new families. Rather than enforce a blanket policy of "No dog adoption to families with young children," Boston Dog Rescue evaluates each dog individually and then assesses what type of home is best for our dogs. Some are great with kids and some are not. We encourage any prospective adopter, especially those who have a child, to do their own research and due diligence when considering dog adoption. There is nothing more rewarding in rescue than placing a dog into a loving home!

Sam I Am
|
Who can forget Sam, formerly known as Gulliver? Sam is such a nice boy despite having a very rough start in life. As a puppy, Sam apparently had his paw broken but no one ever fixed it. Can you imagine the pain he must have been in? When Boston Dog Rescue took him in we knew immediately that there was a problem. The vet concluded that the injury was old and that surgery would not fix it. Sam's poor paw just flops around everywhere making it difficult for him to walk and run. Luckily, Sam found a wonderful home despite having this injury and his mom and dad are working hard everyday to build up his endurance for hiking and walks. Sam's spirit is not only venerable but simply astounding. This special dog lives life to its fullest every single day. Sam is just happy to be alive and loved. Thanks to the Godins for giving this boy a wonderful home.
Sam Update
Dear BDR,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying this Fall-like weather! I have been meaning to send you an update on Sam and some new pics for a couple of weeks now. Our boy is doing great. He is a real charmer and has easily won over his extended family - he has everyone contemplating getting a dog of their own! He is quite obedient and has easily mastered some of the beginner commands, and we're looking forward to his dog training classes which start in mid-September. Actually, we've been joking that by mid-September he will have out-mastered the Beginner class he's signed up for!
Any and all concerns about his ability to exercise were squashed very early on. He is full of energy and runs like the wind, and needs a couple hour-long+ walks every day to ensure his happiness. (Perfect for us!) I don't believe we've gone on a walk yet where someone hasn't stopped us to tell us how adorable and well-behaved he is, and I just sing the praises of Boston Dog Rescue!! Truly, I pass the BDR name on to any (normal) person I meet on our walks who is considering adopting.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing Sam into our lives. He brings joy to us every day and our lives are better because of him.
The Godins
