Old Dominion Boston Terrier Rescue

Dog rescue in Portsmouth, VA

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.
