Nacho
/
7 years
/
February 2010
Nacho is a 7 year old neutered male who was turned into AZBTR because his owners could no longer afford to care for him. Nacho has some mild allergy issues that we think we can control with diet. Nacho is an easy going boy who is very "bully" looking. There may be some Frenchie in there too! He is housetrained and good with other dogs. So far he is just a sweetheart in his foster home and we will update you with more info as we evaluate him.

Blue
/
8-9 months
/
February 2010
**ADOPTED**Blue is a striking neutered male boston terrier puppy with light blue eyes. He has very intersting markings. He is a smaller BT at about 14 lbs. Blue came to us from Pima County Animal Control with a pro-lapsed rectum. Blue has since undergone surgery to correct this and is doing just fine. His foster mom reports that he is about 90% housebroken. He is still very much a puppy so he will need some obedience training as well. He LOVES to play and is getting along very well with the other dogs in the home. Blues foster mom could not part with Blue's baby-blues...who can blame her? Blue shares his new mom and dad with rescue BT brother Arthur and Sammy the Chi.

Hardy
/
Approx 3 years
/
February 2010
**MEDICAL HOLD**After wandering around an apartment complex for several days, Hardy was picked up by a good samaritan and taken to a nearby animal hospital. They contacted AZBTR right away. We tried to find Hardy's owners but had no luck. Hardy came to us very thin and with some minor boo-boos. He was 10 lbs when we got him but has already started gaining weight and will be strong enough to be neutered soon. He is brindle and white and we were told he is about 3 yrs old. He gets along fine with the other BT in the home. He seems to be housebroken and knows a couple of simple commands such as Sit and Lay Down. He also goes through doggie doors. Although a very small BT, Hardy more than makes up for it with his personality, loyalty, and friendship. He is a very playful dog who loves chew toys, and any other toy imaginable. He is very affectionate and caring as well. Although there are no children in the foster home, he has been around them and appears to be just fine with them. One look at his little face and you can't help but smile.

Dodge
/
2-3 years
/
February 2010
**ADOPTION PENDING** Dodge is a 2-3 year old male Boston Terrier that was found running near a busy freeway in Mesa and picked up by a good samaritan who called AZBTR right away. He is lucky to be alive. He had no collar on and no microchip. After over a week of trying to find his owners he became the legal property of AZBTR. Dodge is very friendly boy who just wants someone to love. He adores to play tug. He is in a foster home with no other dogs right now so we are not sure if he plays nice with others. He was just neutered and is available for adoption unless his foster dad has already fallen under that "love me forever" spell that all BT's seems to have.

Grim
/
13 months
/
February 2010
**ADOPTED** Grim is a very handsome 13 month old neutered male Boston Terrier that was turned into AZBTR because his owner was allergic. Grim is very much still a puppy and has a lot of energy. He needs some obedience training and probably a brush up on housebreaking but other than that he is a normal 13 mth old BT. He would make a great addition to any family willing to work with a dog who is still in the puppy stage. Get's along well with other dogs and likes kids. Not sure about cats. He will want to sleep in bed with you! He is also crate trained. Grim's foster mom fell under his cuteness spell and couldn't bear to part with such an adorable little man. He shares his new home and mom with BT sister "Lola".

Enzo
/
3 years
/
February 2010
Enzo is a BIG boy who was turned into AZBTR because he was not getting along with his Boxer brother. He is brindle and white, 37 lbs. and very very very strong. He could use a little bit of a doggie diet but he is just a big boy in general. He is energetic and wants to love you and bring you his toys. A happy happy boy who needs some training too. He will be a great companion to someone who is looking for one of those "bigger bostons". Enzo is neutered and up to date on shots and ready for his new home! He is housetrained. He might do better as an only dog because he really bonds to his owners. He's just a big hunk of love!

Jake
/
12 yrs.
/
January 2010
ADOPTED!!! Jake was turned over to AZBTR by Chino Valley Animal Hospital. He was turned in to be euthanized because he had started having mild seizures. Chino Valley staff just couldn't do it, he was such a wonderful boy. Since he's been on his medication, one pill a day with dinner, he's not had any such episodes and is a DARLING senior boy. Jake is 12 years old and a sweet old man who needs a loving home to live out the rest of his days. He is in pretty good health for such an old boy, he is neutered and housebroken. Jake has been adopted by a wonderful woman is Scottsdale who said Jake is "her baby" and he has found a very very loving forever home. Jake's new mom is familiar with rescue and he share's his new home with a rescued pitbull sister and rescued male Lab/Poodle mix brother. The new pack has adjusted nicely and Jake is enjoying playing with his new siblings and his mom. She will continue to monitor his seizures.

Trixie
/
5-6 yrs.
/
January 2010
**ADOPTED**Trixie is one of the sadder stories we've come up against. "Trixie" is a 5-6 yr old female BT, about 15 lbs, who was found by a cat rescue group abandoned in a home with a bunch of cats. Someone had been feeding them but you could just imagine the conditions she was living in. She is a smart, spunky little girl and acts very young for her age. She has been bred previously. Her foster family says she's quite the princess and they just adore her. Trixie has found her forever home with a special family who has previously adopted from AZBTR. In 2005 they adopted a little BT/Chi mix girl named Heidi who had a heart condition. They loved her and cared for her until she passed away late last year. They contacted us recently and were ready to open their hearts to another rescue girl. Trixie has a very loving home in Casa Grand where she is sure to be extremely spoiled.

Scoobers now "Elvis"
/
3 years
/
January 2010
**ADOPTION PENDING**Scoobers is a 3 yr old male who was turned into AZBTR when his owners decided they no longer were going to breed Boston Terriers. He has very nice markings and is a very sweet boy, although a bit on the shy side, probably due to lack of socialization since he was a breeder dog. His foster mom reports that each day he gets a little more confident and now he just jumps up on the couch next to them for cuddles. He gets along fine with other dogs but cats are unknown. He was previously in a home with children above the age of 5. Scoobers has been placed in a wonderful home where he will be spoiled and loved forever. His new mom and dad have renamed him "Elvis".

KC has been placed in a "Foster to Adopt" home with the family who adopted Tex in 2007. Since living with Tex and his family, KC has learned the joys of horse poop! His foster mom reports that things are going well and he is not marking inside the house so far! **UPDATE** KC and Tex are just great buddies and his new mom wants to go final on the adoption. KC is very happy in his new home and his new family loves him.

Mama
/
8-9 yrs.
/
November 2009
Mama was being held at the Tucson Humane Society as a stray. She was in really rough shape when our wonderful volunteer Pam went to pick her up but got her into shape very quickly. Mama is a delightful & anxious to please, happy little 10+ year old gal who is very deserving of a lot of TLC. Mama has obviously had several litters of pups & is a loose skined, wrinkled ole lady with several obvious moles. One her ears flops over and we are not sure if it was broken or she had a bad infection at one time. She has some scaring on her back where it looks like she tried to crawl under something. She is our "beautiful mess" and so sweet despite her obvious hard life on the streets. She was taking a mile walk a day in her foster home and kept up perfectly with the other dogs. She loves to ride in the car & will try to go out the door to be with her "person", if she thinks you are leaving. She is housebroken, can find her way thru several doggie doors, & content to lay on her blankie & chew her bone. She would love to be in your lap, but does not jump up on the furniture. She has allergies, but with medication and a proper diet we are getting that under control. She sure does love treats! One eye is totally blind and the other is about 75% blind, but that does not slow her down. After having her in rescue we have found her to be quite spry and we feel she is younger than her inital evaluation of 10 yrs. We are thinking around 8 yrs. Her teeth are in great shape!!!! Mama gets along well with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. She also seems to like kids as her foster home has two toddlers. She seems to be just an easy going girl who deserves some attention and love.

Violet
/
4 yrs
/
November 2009
Violet is a very well behaved 4 yr old spayed female who came to AZBTR when her family could no longer afford to care for her allergy issues. AZBTR has been seeing a LOT of allergy dogs and we have had great success in getting them back into shape and on the right program for their condition. Violet is a beautiful, long-legged girl who loves to play. She is brindle and white. She is getting along well with the other dogs in her foster home and was around a young child in her previous home. She is very affectionate and sweet. Her tail is a bit on the longer side for a BT but it never stops wagging! She loves to play fetch and is housebroken. UPDATE ON VIOLET: We have taken Violet to a skin specialist to see if we can get a handle on her allergies. It is just going to take the right stuff to finally get it under control. Stay tuned for updates!
