The first step to adopting a rescued dog is completing an adoption
application. There is NO FEE for submitting an application with us.
There is an online adoption application (click on the bone below) or a hard copy
can be mailed to you. For a hard copy call 402-510-1346. You
only need to submit one application as we file it up to three (3)
months.
MABTR adopts to families in Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North & South
Dakota, Arkansas,
Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
(Those states with a red star on the map we have a transport program
for.)
Once your adoption application is received you will receive
an email confirmation within 72
hours of receipt. If you do not hear back from us within this time
frame please
contact us immediately as we did not receive your application. Adoption applications are kept on file for
three(3) months
or until we identify
the right dog for you and your family. Once a Boston is identified the
foster parent of the dog being considered will contact you for a phone interview.
If agreed upon that we have found the right dog a home visit is then scheduled. The purpose of a home visit is to meet the prospective
adopters and to evaluate the appropriateness and safety of the home that
will be provided. If you reside within 60 miles from where the dog
is being fostered then the dog will participate in the home visit.
Each adoption consists of an
adoption contract and an adoption
fee. The adoption fee varies from $150 to $350 which is based
strictly on the age of the dog. The adoption fee for Boston mixes range
from $150 to $175. For our dogs over the age of seven they qualify for our
Golden Paws for Golden Years program. Adoption fees help cover the medical costs invested in
the dog.
We state the adoption fee in the profile of each dog listed online.
There are no hidden costs.
MABTR follows a simple but expensive process that involves foster care
(click here to meet our foster families),
medical care, rehabilitation (if necessary), placement (re-homing), and education to new owners regarding the health,
care, and ownership of a Boston Terrier.
Prior to adoption ALL rescued Bostons are spayed or neutered, microchipped, tested for heartworm,
dewormed, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, and any other
medical needs such as but not limited to dental cleaning, tumor removal,
orthopedic and eye surgery. We start all Bostons on
heartworm preventative and begin obedience training, and potty training
within the foster home.
Your new Bostons will also come with all medical
records, a harness,
treats, a coupon for $5 off a bag of dry dog food from PetSmart and their
favorite toy. Sweaters/T-shirts ($5-7) and crates ($15-20) are also available.
A trial period of two weeks is offered with each
adoption to ensure we made the right match. It is at the end of the two
week trial period does MABTR cash the adoption fee and register the
microchip in your name.
MABTR has a great network of transport volunteers. With
that said your travel requirements to meet your new dog is minimal.
We have transports in and out of all the states we adopt to so you are eligible for dogs outside of your
state.
MABTR is also always available to answer any questions or
address any concerns.
