Vote for A Chance for Bliss
Please help A Chance for Bliss win this contest as they help very old horses, dogs, etc to have a loving place to live out their lives and they can use the money as feeding and caring for these animals is expensive as we all know. As they are a sanctuary only they depend upon donations so winning this Grant would help them tremendously.
Place your vote here for this wonderful animal sanctuary to receive a $50k grant from Pepsi. Remember once you sign-in, you need to click on the "vote for thisidea" button again or your vote won't get counted.
Hooray for Nicky!
Nicky finally found his forever home!
Begin each day of 2010 with a Boston!
ABTR's annual calendars are now available for purchase, and they make really wonderful holiday gifts, so be sure to stockup.

This month's winner: Tucker - Ball Lovin'
Tucker LOVES his ball. I was working on our "wait" command and quickly took this picture of him with his favorite ball. He is 5 years old.
Owner: Kristi from Texas.
July: Joey
Joey, enjoying an early morning treat. He liked to get up early with me while the other dogs were still asleep. This morning I was deboning a Lamb Shank and offered the bone to Joey to clean off. Joey was with me from Mid-January until Mid-June. He had a unique and independent personality. When he was ready for pets he would come stand by my chair to accept pets. Sometimes he would let me hold him for a while. He enjoyed taking naps on a mat out on the patio even in the heat of the summer.
Owner: Texasaunty
June: Elwood
Weeeeeeeee!!!!!
Elwood loves swinging on the kids rope swing. He doesn't like it when the kids use it as he wants to swing all the time. We have to take him in the house to get him to cool down as he doesn't know when to stop.
Owner: Mel from Anamosa, IA
May: Laddie
Laddie is an ABTR baby, adopted back in 2005. Enjoying life in Cedar Park Texas!
Owner: Darlene from Texas
April: Jack Daniels - Don't I look cool?
This is our 5 year old BT Jack Daniels. Doesn't he look super cool in his hoodie? Jack loves to wear it when he goes out and about on the town. Living in upstate NY, he needs his jacket or his hoodie when he goes out in the cold weather. As you can see, Jack is quite the character!
Owner: Jack's Mom from New Hartford, NY
March: Tootsie the bride
Tootsie is my darling 14-year old, deaf, arthritic matron with luxated patellas and the most winning personality. She never met a dog or person she didn't like, but she does huff and puff when a cat crosses her path. She was dubbed "Tootsie Roll" during the candy name era of ABTR, and it just fits her. Even at 14, she is full of beans, and still enjoys a game of tug-of-war and the Boston 500 races. Gotta love her...
Owner: Jim in Dallas, TX
February: Ginger
Previous winners:
January: Charlie
This is my late Boston girl, Charlie. Her favorite bed was a large cardboard box lined with a foam base and blankets. She would bring all her toys in it AND any dog pillow that she may have. If you'll notice the green stuffing around the box. Yep, that's another pillow tiped to shreads! It was her favorite past time. Distroy pillows and kill all toys. She was a riot!
Owner: Tammy Phillips from Vernon, CT.
December: Jimmy & Monty
And to all a good night...
Twas the night before woofmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that BT Claus soon would be there.
"I still consider myself new to the doggie parent world because I never had a dog as a child. Maybe one day I'll realize that having a BT for 8 years now no longer makes me a 'new' parent. Jimmy arrived at my home when he was 9 weeks old. He has been the apple of my eye ever since. About 4 years ago I decided it was time to expand our family and Monty arrived from ABTR in May 2005. He was close to 2 years old then. Now I wonder what life was like without my 2 knuckle-heads. "
Owner: Shiloh in Rhode Island, with Boston Terriers Jimmy & Monty.
November: Miss Silly Milly Pilly Lilly
Lillian May Zattau shortly after we adopted her at age 8-1/2, learning to appreciate the kitchen.
Lilly has been a dear dear rescue for us, she came to us through NorCal Boxer Rescue. I think she is only the second 'official' rescue through them, and she came with hangups probably typical for a girlie who had been used as a breeder, spayed and rehomed, then came to us from a shelter in CA, at age 8-1/2...
At 11-1/2 now, she still bounces around like a silly thing and we love her dearly. She really doesn't look any grayer now than she did then, while we may be fooling ourselves, we look at pictures we took when she first came here and we just don't see more gray in her face.
We are delighted she is the Photo of the Month November for ABTR, I'm always there oogling bostons as they are so cute and boxerlike...
Owner: Donna in WestOR, with Guy and the box heads, Zito, Lilly, and Jolie B
October 2009: Blatz
Biker Blatz at LifeBark
Biker Blatz looking sharp in his Jeep stroller.
I got a call from Wanda that there was yet another Boston in the Fort Worth shelter, a heartworm positive case, so off I went to pick him up. When I saw this guy out of the cage, I realized he was either a French Bulldog or 1/2 Boston and 1/2 Frenchie, even though his facial features are very Boston. He absolutely captivated me, and so I determined then and there that I would foster him through his vet work and heartworm treatment. He had just been neutered the day before, so he was already recuperating from that indignity!
His bloodwork revealed a few issues and he has to be on hypertension meds for the rest of his life, and due to his enlarged heart (darn heartworms had done some damage during their infestation), he must remain on prescription dog food with quite a few supplements as well. I knew from the moment I first spied him that he was probably going to become my fifth ABTR adoptee, but for right now he is technically just a foster... HA!
