Could a Boston Terrier have a tail (not corkscrew) I rescued a red and white one from this person.?

She looks just like a Boston Terrier but her tail, I just need to know if it is possible that they could have one.

Yes it would just be considered a fault

yes some are born with tails and then generally docked at 2 to 4 days old. Be aware Red and White is NOT a common coloration of a Boston Terrier. They almost always come in Black and White or Brindle and White. There is a color called Seal where its a Brindle with red highlights but if the dog is fully red and white then its not a pure bred Boston or one that has a mixed parent down the line.

I'm not sure that all Bostons are born with the corkscrew bobbed tail, I thought that was some piece of cruelty put on them by a breeder, docking the tail and then fracturing it into a spiral. I would just love and accept her anyway, long tail or not. You will be Blessed in some way for helping this dog in need.
