My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bodhi is ready for adoption. He’s a 2-1/2 year old, 50 lb. Boston/Pit Bull mix who is housebroken, neutered and UTD on vaccines. Bodhi was aggressive towards other dogs. He even attacked a dog. Bodhi went through an intensive four-week board and train program with a professional trainer. He has not had an aggressive episode since completing training. He receives periodic sustainment training, and has even made some dog friends at the training facility. Bodhi and his foster dad enjoy walks through downtown Fredericksburg where they encounter hundreds of people, dogs, motorcycles, and other loud things. Bodie loves going to Home Depot and his behavior has been perfect. Everyone who meets Bodhi loves him because he’s so handsome and sweet. He is a favorite among his trainers. Bodhi will thrive in a home where he is an only pet and has room to play. Bodhi enjoys being close to his humans and loves being petted. He knows the heel command, walks at his foster’s side, and rarely notices other dogs now. Since he’s a young dog with lots of energy, Bodhi would benefit from having a fenced yard. Bodhi is fostered in Stafford, VA. If you feel you are the right family for Bodhi, please email odbtr1@gmail.com or bostonlover02@comcast.net to request a Word or PDF format application.

Our fees vary depending on the dog. Age, health and behavior issues determine the fee for each dog. Our youngest and healthiest Boston's help pay the way for our seniors and special needs Boston's. Our highest fee is $650 and the lowest is $0. When a dog has full sponsorship there our adoption fee is waived.

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based rescue covering VA, Northeastern NC, MD,DE and DC. We are a dedicated group of Boston lovers. Our main goal is to save as many Boston Terriers from shelters and owners who can no longer care for their Boston's. We will help any Boston Terrier, any age, health issue and behavior issue that needs us. We do have limits. We can only take dogs when we have space. Sometimes that means owner surrenders have to wait for a space to open before we can take their dog. We also take other breeds when we have room. We are as holistic as possible in our care of Boston's combining traditional veterinary care and holistic philosophies. We are always looking for volunteers.
