My story

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

Hi, my name is Tonk but my friends call me big guy. I'm a male English Bulldog. My foster mom says I am a total ham, absolutely full of love & kisses to give my furever family. I'm very puppy acting and have bursts throughout the day (doggie zoomies!) of that puppy energy. I love a fenced in yard where he can run out the afternoon zoomies and prefers to do my business in the yard, off-leash. I know the ‘sit’ command and am I VERY motivated by treats/food. I just loves to jump to give hugs or to get your attention so I could use some formal training around that. I would love a doggie playmate who matches my energy or is the calmer one in the home. I could also do well as the solo dog. Because I'm still puppy-Ish, I will need my training to continue when I get to OUR new home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is generally based on the dog's age and provides for neutering or spaying, all required shots, heartworm testing (we endorse "the new moxie-doxy" treatment for heart worms).

It is our expectation & a requirement that heartworm preventative be continued as well as any required vet visits after the pet is adopted.

If for some reason a match isn't made the first time around and you are approved, we will keep your application on file for the next opportunity to arise. Our primary goal is to place a dog in the most suitable environment, based on the animal's individual needs and its temperament. The commitment is lifelong and the Boston's interests are always foremost.

More about this rescue

All breeds have their own particular needs and rescued pets often have special requirements as well, very often in want of medical care, often lacking nourishment and kindness, and often expensive to rehabilitate.

Because we have had Boston Terriers for many years, we are very familiar with their habits, peculiarities and their special needs.

We operate across the southeast under the auspices of the Boston Terrier Rescue Network. We share information and resources in all of the USA with affiliated Boston Rescues.
