The following article answers most of the questions asked to us about our organization and the endeavors. Answers are given below.
What is Boston Terrier Rescue all about?
This association helps to home the unwanted or abandoned Boston Terriers. They manage adoptions of these Terriers and also set emergency rescues. They help lonely and orphan Terriers.
Terriers which are not in good health or the ones that are old and carrying a disease are all neglected as they wouldnâ??t be available for adoption afterwards. Boston Terrier Rescue will request the owners of these Terriers to choose better options.
Why are the Boston Terriers being rescued?
Boston Terrier Rescue mostly adopts dogs which actually were unwanted by the owners. They admit that the dog was of no use to them or the fact that they couldnâ??t provide them good enough attention. Sometimes, owners even complained about these dogs being amongst all your activities and commitments. The dogs were rescued from such kinds of people who had no idea but to sell them.
Is it possible to use the adopted dog for breeding?
The organization totally despises the idea. As a matter of fact, they advise every owner of these kinds of dogs to use the dog just as pets. As a process, the dogs have been forced to spay or neuter to control reproduction rate. And also these terriers are not great strains of the usual breed standards. These Terriers, generally, do not have any pedigree or ancestry that can be consulted before any breeding process.
Can I adopt a female Terrier?
It is believed that the female Terriers are more a more affectionate breed and they tend to abandon only those male ones aging between two and six. But the male Terriers are found to be very responsive and being sweet if given proper care and attention. The gender of these Terriers should not really matter during adoption since all the rescued ones are spared as breeders. BTR does appropriate placement in order to help this.
