It's with a heavy heart we have to share the news of Gusdog falling forever asleep on Monday 11th November GusDog was an extraordinary dog… but not just any dog, a super hero Boston Dog! Born in 2013 he went to live with his Mummars in October and there started his life of Stardom! GusDog and the Mummers joined UKBTR and started the first Ball Draws in 2015, helping to raise much needed funds for the Rescue. Following an Eye Ulcer in 2017, followed by two operations everything was good, but then a slow moving tree jumped him where his eye damaged beyond repair and was removed. That didn’t stop ..read more

Nala is a Swahili name meaning “gift” or “beloved,”  and it seems our Nala sums that up.    Poor Nala like many had a rough start being passed from home to home several times before finally coming to us at the rescue.    Understandably she was nervous and took a few months to decompress.  All she wanted was a quiet life of sunbathing and peaceful walks.    Finally she found her forever home and her last update showed all the love and patience paying off. Some extra guidance from a trainer helped along the way  ( thanks to @pta_dog on Instagram ..read more

  Oreo first came up on another rescue website in Aug 2023 We often share other Bostons in rescues across the country and Oreo was flagged up as needing a home and some publicity. He had interest and potential adopters but sadly none a lasting success. Eventually we managed to get him into one of our lovely foster homes in Jan 2024. It took him a long time to decompress after being in and out of kennels. Whilst in foster it was discovered that Oreo had grade 3 luxating patella in both legs. Surgery went well and finally after struggling to get many applicatio ..read more

Today we say a huge thank you to Jason! Jason is one of our Rehomers, helping Bostons (and crosses) who find themselves in need of a new home. This role carries a lot of emotions. Speaking to the original family who, in most cases, are devastated to find themselves in a situation where they need to rehome their beloved dog. Then coordinating volunteers to have the dog assessed, finding a foster home, coordinating more volunteers to transport the dog, liaising with the foster home, vetting adoption applicants, arranging home checks and then transporting the dog to their new home…there is a lot ..read more

Today’s forever home Friday is the lovely Winston. This poor boy arrived in a sorry state and needed a perfect retirement home to finally rest. He found that with our founder Beth. It’s been a tricky few months but Winston just celebrated his 13th birthday and appears to be loving life again. In his honour a few words for the older dogs: (source unknown) What do you do when your dog grows old? When his feet are tired and the pads are worn? When your words of praise are muffled in his ears, and his eyes are milky from their years of use? When his face is grizzled and his colour isn’t as vibrant ..read more
