Adoption Process and Monthly Stats (scroll down for stats)
MABTR adopts to families in Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North and South Dakota, and Wyoming.
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 please contact us immediately as we did not receive your application.
Adoption applications are kept on file for six (6) months or until we identify the right dog for you and your family. Once a Boston is identified a Rescue Agent will contact you for a phone interview and to schedule a home visit. 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 for the new dog. If you reside in the same area as the foster dog then the dog will participate in the home visit.
Each adoption consists of an adoption contract and an adoption
fee. The adoption fees vary from $175 to $350 which are based
on the age of the dog. The adoption fee for Bostons mixes range
from $150 to $175. Adoption fees help MABTR cover the medical costs.
MABTR follows a simple but expensive process that involves foster care, medical care, rehabilitation (if necessary), placement (re-homing), follow-up checks, and education to new owners regarding the health, care, and ownership of a Boston Terrier.
A trial period of up to 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.
MABTR is always available to adopting homes to answer any questions or
address any concerns. We also provide pet sitting services for when you
are traveling and cannot take your new little one with you.
