Dorothy's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Found in a drainage ditch in Ft Smith, ARDorothy, our Golden Girl, is a complete sweetheart! She was originally found in a drainage ditch in Ft. Smith, AR, and when no owner came forward to claim her, she joined our Foster Gang in Texas.<br/><br/>Dorothy is an older lady, and as such, her sight and hearing are not 100%, but she is full of life and has a terrific attitude - unless you try to wipe her face, which is NOT her favorite thing, and she'll let you know it.<br/><br/>Her initial vetting has been taken care of, but she's still got some things that need to be taken care of, so she isn't available for adoption right this minute. We will, however, be accepting applications so she will hopefully have a home ready and waiting for her after she's completely cleared by the vet for adoption.<br/><br/>Dorothy is available for our Seniors for Seniors adoption program.<br/><br/>More to come soon...

American Boston Terrier Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process Out of state adoption policy: We are located in Dallas, TX. We will adopt some of our dogs out of state, depending on their situation and needs; however, it is our policy not to ship dogs. This means we do not fly them via cargo nor do we utilize paid ground transport. Adopters may drive to Dallas to adopt their dogs, or they may fly them in-cabin on an airplane (via an airline that accepts Boston Terriers in the cabin). All transport costs are at the adopter's expense. Applying to adopt: Complete the application in its entirety. If there is anything that you think we need to know that is not asked on the application or you have certain requirements or traits you are looking for in a dog, please put it in the “Other Comments” section of the application. Reference Check: We will contact your personal and veterinarian references. If those pass, then a home visit will be arranged. One of our volunteers will visit you in your home to ensure that a good match is made for you and that you have proper accommodations for the dog you are interested in. Personal Interview: We will contact you via phone at a time that is convenient for you. This interview lasts around 45 minutes with the purpose of getting to know you in addition to sharing our policies and answering questions you may have. We also discuss your home and expectations for the dog so we can be sure you adopt a Boston that is a great fit for you and him/her! Home Visit: If your home visit passes, then you are approved to adopt from ABTRR!
