Here’s an excerpt from Dylan’s story, which you will find the book:

“When I’d come home from work, Dylan, my Boston Terrier, was so overwhelmed with excitement that he would jump up and bite me. To protect myself without killing his enthusiasm, I got inventive and shoved a toy in his mouth from a bucket I kept outside my door. After a month, Dylan began greeting me at the door, bringing me his own toy. On one occasion, I entered the house expecting to find my overly excited Boston with a toy in his mouth but instead he sat there ready to hand me the cordless phone! It turns out it was the only toy he could find. Some people may have been upset about the slobber on the buttons but I considered it “making progress!” -Jami David, Proud Mom of an Adopted Boston Terrier

A portion of the proceeds will be divided among Boston Terrier rescue groups. The book was compiled with stories from people who have adopted Boston Terriers from rescue groups around the country. The stories are happy, sad and educational; and are meant to encourage pet rescue and paint a clear picture of life with a rescued Boston Terrier.

Books and stickers are available at http://happytailsbooks.com/buy.htm. All items will be shipped towards the end of July.

NMBTR has some cute bostons up for adoption!  Please go to their webpage http://nmbtr.tripod.com/adoption.html to check them out!  They sure are cuties!  NMBTR will adopt to AZ families.

Hello to all the great people at Arizona Boston Terrier Rescue.  We were so excited to hear that we had won the   drawing!  Our girl Lucy is six years old and loves those plush toys with squeakers and will have lots to do over the long summer.   A big thank you to Shaila for selecting my name from so many and to Vicki for putting together such a great basket with lots of excellent gifts.

But most importantly, much gratitude goes out to all the people at ABTR for giving so much to help these sweet little dogs in need who must trust humans to do the right thing.  I am so impressed by all the kind people who generously donate, it just proves once again that people who love Bostons have hearts filled with love and the commitment to back it up!! 

Your friends,  Michele and Lucy 

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO PURCHASED RAFFLE TICKETS and CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER, Michele Marchant!

AZ Boston Terrier Rescue could not help the Boston Terriers without your support.  We already been notified of more BT’s wanting to be surrendered to rescue.  It is going to be a busy summer!

I will post a total of how much we made in donations and thank you to our anonymous donor who matched donations up to $1,000, there are just not enough words to express what this means to us.  I would also like to send a special “thank you” to Ziggy’s mom and dad for their generosity once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  You have been amazing supporters over the years.

Thank you Vicki Capps for, as always, putting together an GREAT raffle basket.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! 

PLEASE REMEMBER TO WATCH YOUR KIDS AND BOSTON TERRIERS AROUND WATER!

Hi AZ BT Rescue,

I wanted to send you an update on what I'm doing these days.  Last week I really enjoyed watching the Westminster Dog Show.  I watched both nights of it and really got into it.  Some of those dogs were really cute! 

I relax a lot with Dad, I'm not afraid of the recliner anymore.   LOL

Relaxing with Dad on the recliner.  The recliner is a GOOD thing!

“Dreams of Westminster”

*Note  This little one came to us from the Westside Animal Care and Control facility where she was due to be euthanized for aggression.  Our wonderful Intake Coordinator, Sheena, went down there and did her own evaluation and did not see any signs of aggression whatsoever.  We can only assume they confused her with another dog.  Today she is being loved and spoiled by a wonderful family in the East Valley.

Time is running out to purchase raffle tickets!!! 

Sunday is the last day for purchase!

I will spend this next week preparing the raffle tickets (slips of paper with names on them) and the drawing will be on the 13th!!  We will video record the drawing and post the Youtube.com link on the website!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND THANK YOU!!!

These generous donations are REALLY going to help get us through the summer treating and re-homing all of the BT’s in need out there.  We expect it to be very busy.

I will post a tally of the donation received as soon as I can. 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!
