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.

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

Elvis' Story -as told by Elvis, Jan. 2024.   Hi, my name is Elvis, 'm 7 1/2 years old & a mix of Boston Terrier & Jack Russell. As with many of us older or mix-bread dogs, I thought I may not find my forever home for a long while after I came to the rescue.

My canine foster sister helped me with soc ..read more

Todays Forever Home Story is another feel good one.  Zeus is a handsome chap with some fear issues but like his name sake the God of War he is soldiering on to conquer them. In the words of his mummy:- After my last Boston, I swore I’d never have another because I thought I’d constantly compare them.

Time for a Forever Home Friday feature, our favourite feel good day showing how much joy our adopted pups bring. Today featuring this cutie in the words of his pawrents:   This is our new boy, Gibson. He wasn’t always Gibson; he wasn’t always our boy. But now he’s both of those things, and we couldn’t be happier.   Gibson was originally christened Diego. He wasn’t a Diego, at all. His original owners apparently decided to get rid of him after an incident when he didn’t want to share his dinner with a random child, and let his opinion be known perhaps a little too obviously.   He ..read more

I had become fond of the breed after meeting one local to where I live, and also having been told they are like mini boxe ..read more

We were devastated as a family and about the same time Zuki popped up on FB rescue page. Like ..read more
