Service areas:

Muskogee, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City.

The love of the breed led to adoption, but the love of the dog led to starting a rescue. Sweet Madison was only nine years old when she lost her battle with bladder cancer. Boston Terrier and Short Nose Rescue of Oklahoma was established just one year later because of her. Madison will be remembered for many years through the work we do for other Bostons. We might not have been able to save her life, but we will do our best to save as many others as possible! We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization comprised of a team of diligent volunteers. The Boston Terrier Rescue of Oklahoma is dedicated to rescuing as many Boston Terriers as possible. No rescue is too small or too large, and while we primarily serve Oklahoma, we have been known to aid in neighboring states as well when we can. Our goal is to bring these sweet babies into rescue long enough to ensure they are healthy and have been behavior tested so that we may place them into a loving, FURever home they fit right into! We are a foster-based rescue, which means our dogs stay in homes with families, not in a central facility. Because our dogs are in foster homes, we can see interactions with other animals and behaviors that a dog might exhibit in a home. While we strive to provide as much information as possible about all our dogs, sometimes we are limited on how much we know about the backgrounds of dogs that come into our care.

Adoption Policy

Adoption Process The first step in the application process is to submit your ADOPTION APPLICATION. You will receive an automated response when your application is submitted. You will receive another response from our Adoption Coordinator, usually within one to two days of your submission. We are a foster-based, 100% volunteer organization and almost all of us have full-time jobs outside the rescue, so please be patient as you wait to hear from us about the next steps in the process. We require all pets in a home, past and current, to be up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm preventative, and spayed/neutered. After we have received a good vet reference reflecting this, we will ask you to complete a virtual "home visit" using Dropbox, where you will upload photos and videos of your home and yard and a general introduction video of all family members and current pets. Our Adoption Coordinator will help you navigate using Dropbox if you need help. Once you complete your virtual "home visit," we will notify you to let you know if you're approved. If the dog for which you applied is available and is an appropriate fit for your family and lifestyle, we will send instructions to finalize the adoption. After receiving the adoption agreement and the adoption fee, we will send you the foster parent's phone number so you can arrange to pick up your dog within seven days of approval. If the dog for which you applied is no longer available or is not a good fit, we will match you with another dog in the rescue. You're welcome to let us know if we have another dog posted that interests you! If there are no suitable matches when you are approved, we will keep your application in our "approved" folder and look for a match as new dogs come into the rescue. **Please note that just because a dog is still on our page does not mean there are no other applications for the dog. We only mark dogs pending adoption if the potential adopter has completed all of the application process and is just working out a pickup date. Or it could be that we have received multiple promising applications for the same dog. Before the home visit, we will always let you know if the dog you are interested in has a pending adoption. We encourage you to continue the process of applying to adopt another dog that may be an even better fit. Yard Requirements We require a fenced yard to adopt, except in certain circumstances at our discretion. All fenced yards must be fully fenced, recently checked for holes/gaps, and secure enough that a small dog cannot get through. Any app that has a doggie door and no fenced yard will not be considered. An “invisible or underground fence” will not be accepted as a fence. Health of Your New Pet While we cannot guarantee life span, we do make every effort to assure our dogs are in good health. We also will inform you before adoption if you have decided to adopt a dog with a known health issue. All dogs are fully vetted at the time of adoption, including spay/neuter, microchipping, all vaccines - Rabies, Bordetella, and DHLP - along with heartworm check and the first month of preventative. The only exception would be puppies, and they will be fully up to date on their vaccines for their age. You will receive paperwork to bring to your vet, so you will know when their next set of shots are due. Adoption Fee Our adoption fees range from $200 - $1500, depending on the dog. We do list this for each dog in the description. Puppies are the highest because they take the most care and vetting before being adoption-ready. We make every effort to make sure prices are fair for each dog. Please understand all prices include the dog being fully vetted and health checked. It is vitally important to us that our dogs go to the best homes possible, so our prices are set to assure serious applicants only. The adoption fee is on a cash basis and is non-refundable. Please note that no one in this organization is on a salary through the rescue. All money from adoptions goes directly back into saving more dogs. Adoption Agreement All adopters must sign an adoption agreement when adopting any of our dogs. This agreement states that you will properly care for your new dog, including future vet care when needed. All adoption agreements also state that the dog will be returned to the rescue if the adopter can no longer keep the dog for any reason. We highly recommend allowing at least a month for a dog to adjust; frequently settling into a new home can take time and lots and lots of patience. Always remember you are adopting a dog that has been through something to end up in rescue, so it is important to be understanding and patient with them as they adjust to their new life. Out-of-state adoptions We do adopt out-of-state to approved applicants. Our rescue does not do sight-unseen adoptions or chain transfers, and we do not place our dogs on planes alone to fly as cargo. If an application is approved, we require those applicants to travel to Oklahoma to pick up their rescue animal. Since most of our animals are too big to fly commercially, most people fly in and then have to drive home. Fees for Dogs that are Found and Returned to Owner • $25 a day for in-home boarding per dog per day • All medical bills including shots or any other medical care received while in our rescue Paperwork Needed Before Dog Will Be Returned to Owner • Adoption Application form submitted through our website • Minimum 5 clear photos of the dog in question from various angles. Also, please point out any distinct markings that can be used to identify the dog. • Current medical records

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
