In 2016 I met a guy with a Boston Terrier and fell in love, with the guy and with the dog. Frank had rescued Lilly from Arizona Boston Terrier rescue years before we met, and she was my first experience with a dog. She was the cutest most cuddly little Boston girl, and just the sweetest girl you’ve ever met. I had the privilege to be in Lilly’s life and love her for a year and a half before she passed.
During this time I got to see her unmatched, unconditional love for Frank, and his endless love for her. Lilly taught me what it is to love a dog and be loved by a dog.
Some time after Lilly’s passing, ABTR had a 2 year old girl that needed a foster. We were still healing from losing Lilly, but decided to foster. Little did I know that this little girl was going to steal my heart. From the moment she got to our home, she ran into the house with the ball in her mouth and acted immediately as if she was home, as if she had always been with us. She was playful, energetic and cute as a button. Even though she was supposed to just be a foster, I knew that she was going to stay with us. Ruby was the tiniest little muscle powerhouse. She was tough and sweet, picky with other dogs but loved her humans, and boy oh boy did she love food. She was the most beautiful little red Bostie girl, with the most wonderful and spunky personality, and my best friend. We lost Ruby on July 31st to brain cancer, and we miss her every moment of every day.
Thanks to AZBTR, we got love and spoil our Ruby for a wonderful six and a half years, even though forever wouldn’t have been enough.
AZBTR is a wonderful rescue organization, run by the most amazing volunteers. These hoomans work tirelessly and go above and beyond for the dogs. The people of AZBTR truly do the right thing by the dogs. We have rescued and fostered with them, and have had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend supporting Arizona Boston Terrier Rescue, so please consider donating, fostering and adopting.
Sadie is the second Boston I've gotten from AZBTR and she's a wonderful, funny, friendly 6 years old. I'm so grateful to them for contacting me when she was surrendered to them over 2 years ago. My first Boston from them was a senior and had passed away. This rescue takes care of all their medical needs before adoption. They are supportive, caring and responsive to all their adoptive families. I'm confident in recommending them for good use of your donations or dog adoptions.
Eleven years ago we adopted Jake from Arizona Boston Terrier Rescue. Jake was a three year old bundle of fun. At that time, we had a seven year old female Boston, Ella that had been in a difficult situation before us and Jake helped her come out of her shell and have fun. They had many good years together and when Ella passed Jake was lonely. Five years ago, we adopted a 7 year old Boston/French Bull Dog mix, Honey from the rescue. She kept Jake busy and he was no longer lonely. She’s a loving girl and awesome with my grandkids. She believes every person on earth was meant to say something nice to her and give her a pet. Jake lived a nice full life and was almost 14 when he passed in April. Both adoptions were a great fit for our family. The rescue described their personalities perfectly and were diligent about making sure they would fit into our family. I highly recommend this organization. They do so much for the dogs they rescue and are devoted to finding the dogs the right home.
