Urgent: PawPaw Paradise
Introducing PawPaw Paradise; he was at the Garland shelter. PawPaw appears to have been mauled by a dog. He has a large open weeping wound on his neck and two deep weeping (and very stinky) puncture wounds on his back. He also has scabs on one ear and some very rough scabby feeling places around his neck. The Garland shelter had him on antibiotics and pain medications which we are continuing. He needs our help.

American Boston Terrier Rescue is a 501c3 organization and all donations are deductible to the full extent of the law. ABTR relies solely on fundraising events and donations from our supporters to continue saving Bostons in need, and your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you all for your patience while the ABTR crew and volunteers worked to create next year's rescue calendar. This is the result of our photo contest. Calendar #2 (which includes the sponsored months) will be available shortly.
For now, you can see/purchase Calendar #1 at http://www.cafepress.com/abtr/6916931. Thank you all for your support!
When you visit CafePress to purchase the calendars, PLEASE go directly to our shop at www.cafepress.com/abtr, or order via this direct link - http://www.cafepress.com/abtr/6916931.
If you do a search for the calendars and buy through the CafePress Marketplace, the donation to ABTR is slashed by about 60% and the doggies count on every penny we raise through our annual calendar sales. It's really important to purchase through our shop link or the direct calendar links shown above. :) Thanks!--

NOTICE REGARDING ADOPTION DONATIONS:
Unfortunately, our previous adoption donations did not cover the operating costs of our rescue, vetting and care for the Bostons we saved from the kill shelters last year. Beginning January 1, 2011 our adoption fees are going to have to increase in order for ABTR to continue to help the Bostons. ABTR will also require a non-refundable application processing donation of $25 before we will process your application. Use the link below to send the adoption processing donation through Paypal or please mail the application processing fee to ABTR, P O Box 525, Sanger, TX 76266 Our new adoption donations as of January 1, 2011 are: $325 for all dogs 10 months and older $450 for all puppies 9 months and younger. $200 for Senior (8+ yr. dogs) for Senior (65+ yr. humans) Thank you for your continued support. Remember we are a 501c3 charity and when adopting a dog any amount donated in excess of the adoption donation is tax deductable to the fullest extent of the law. |

Hello to all of our ABTR Friends and Volunteers!
We all love Boston Terriers - that's no secret. I propose we step it up and make 2011 the Year of the Boston Terrier! I bet you're thinking, "Wow, that sounds like a great idea, but how can I help make 2011 the Year of the BT?" I'm glad you asked... You can start by reaffirming your commitment to your own Bostons. Hold your little furkins close and tell them you love them. Remember to give them that extra scratch behind the ear, belly rub, or kiss on the nose each day. It's the little things that add up and make a difference! Next, you can make a commitment to support American Boston Terrier Rescue in some small way. Volunteer to pick up a Boston in need from a shelter, volunteer to foster a dog (pretty please!), put your talents to work to create some wonderful item for use in one of our upcoming fundraising auctions or raffles, set aside a small portion of your tax refund and donate it to the dogs in ABTR's foster program, join our FaceBook community, sell something on eBay and list ABTR as the beneficiary, or sign up for our monthly sponsorship program (http://americanbostonterrierrescue.org/Sponsorship.php). For as little as $10 a month, you can play a very important role in supporting ABTR's foster program. Every cent we receive from monthly sponsorships is applied directly to the dogs' care. It is used to pay down our vet bill and to purchase wholesome food and the necessary medications and preventatives. Best of all, 100% of your monthly sponsorship donation is tax deductible. Those of you who frequent our chat lists are aware that ABTR has been doing more with a lot less for the past couple years. The number of dogs needing our help continues to grow, but donations have decreased by approximately 50% since 2007/2008. We do our best to offer fundraising opportunities that are fun and relevant, but we know that everyone grows weary of constant fundraisers and donation requests so we're going to try something a little different this time. We hope you'll consider donating just $2.50 a week - $10 a month - to help us help dogs who aren't as fortunate as our own beloved pups. It's a simple monthly draft via Paypal so you don't even have to think about making a donation. Just sign up for our sponsorship program, and Paypal will take care of the rest. http://americanbostonterrierrescue.org/Sponsorship.php If you can think of additional ways to help make 2011 the Year of the BT, we'd love to hear from you! The number of BTs in need continues to grow, and I know that together we can help more dogs than ever in 2011! Thank you all for your continued support, Heidi & the ABTR Gang ABTR Fundraising Director |
ABTR Private Label Wines
What's the perfect gift for that special Boston Terrier loving friend or family member who has everything? How about their favorite wine? Celebrate any occasion and help a rescued Boston Terrier with ABTR's very own private label wine collction! Order at www.BenefitWines.com/boston, or phone in your order at (978) 297-5477. Thank you for supporting American Boston Terrier Rescue! Hint: Shipping costs for a single bottle may seem a bit high, but that's because shipping alcohol incurs a $12 up front fee and an adult's signature. Order multiple bottles (like six or more) to get maximum shipping savings. ABTR recommends ordering multiple bottles at once ~ think birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries and holidays, or order with a friend and share the shipping cost!  |
Won't you please consider pledging just $10 to help these Boston Terriers get the care they need? ABTR is committed to doing all we can for them, but our resources have been stretched enormously over the past year and we really need some help to give these dogs the chance they deserve. We're grateful for each and every contribution. Thank you.
ABTR is a 501c3 charitable organization and every penny you donate is tax-deductible.
For Tax information on what is and what is not deductible, please consult a tax professional.
An AMAZING gift idea for Mother's Day, Father's Day, a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion!
Affordable, personal and incredibly thoughtful!
Any and all Donations are always needed and welcome. If you wish to donate to American Boston Terrier Rescue, please go to www.paypal.com and use the recipient name of donations@AmericanBostonTerrierRescue.org or you can mail a check to the address below.
If you wish to donate for vet expenses on our dogs, please go to paypal and use the recipient name of grandaveanimal@att.net and make a note that it is to apply to vet expenses for American Boston Terrier Rescue's dogs. Or you can make your check out to Dr. Cindy Westbrook and mail to the address below. We appreciate all donations for vetting as sometimes we owe our vet in excess of $2000 when we get a large influx of special needs and heart worm positive dogs in.
PLEASE MAIL ADOPTION FEES or DONATIONS TO:
American Boston Terrier Rescue
P O Box 525
Sanger, TX 76266
Thank you for your support.
We at American Boston Terrier Rescue have no ongoing sponsers, subsidies, grants or other steady supporter paying for the vetting care of the rescue dogs. All vet bills, dog food and anything else the dogs need are paid for out of the adoption donations and my own pocketbook. Any donations are appreciated.
