Fostering a Boston

MABTR cannot operate without foster homes. The fewer foster homes available, the fewer dogs we can save.

Foster Homes needed in the surrounding areas of:

Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, and North/South Dakota

What is a Foster Home?

A Foster Home is a home where a rescued, unwanted or otherwise needy Boston terrier can live and be loved until a permanent home is available that meets its special needs.

Foster homes are not for persons just wanting to adopt a Boston terrier. They are for persons willing to open their hearts to help the Boston terrier along its way, understanding that he/she will eventually be going to a “forever home”.

      A BIG THANK YOU to all our foster homes.

Without you our mission could not be achieved.

 

The first step is completing our foster application (click here to review the application and foster guidelines) which includes your responsibilities as a foster.  Please email us directly for a copy of the application that you can complete (not available online). Once received you we will call you for a phone interview. 

 

Our paths will cross for only a short time, but while you are in my care I will be devoted to you. If memories of your former life are painful, I will help erase them. No longer will you hunger and I will help to heal your wounds. If your former life was good, I will promise you an even better future.

One day our time together will come to an end and you will go off to your new home, healthy, happy and healed. As a parting gift, I will give you a piece of my heart to remember me by. I may shed a tear . . .not for my loss, but for your gain.

Perhaps our paths may cross again for a fleeting instant and I will be comforted by the aura of love that surrounds you. There will always be a bond between us, though we walk separate paths through this life.

After we reach our heavenly reward our paths may cross again. You may try to return the piece of my heart with thanks for all that I did for you. I will tell you to keep it and thank you for showing me that I could be better than I thought I could be, and that I learned in giving came the greatest gifts.

The pieces of our hearts are like grains of sand. They are pulled along a current beyond our control until they come together and form a safe haven.

I, like you, came to understand what it meant to be saved.
