How to adopt from American Boston Terrier Rescue
We require all applicants to complete an application. All references are checked including vet reference. If the references check out then we move to a home visit. A volunteer from our organization goes into the home and inspects the home for safety and talks to the potential family about any questions or concerns that they have. Our Adoption Donation fee ranges from $175-$350 depending on the age of the dog. We do require an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. All dogs are adopted only after their shots are current and they have been spayed/neutered.
Adopting a dog in Fort Worth
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
