BESTIE: BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE CANADA

LOCATION: ARNPRIOR, ON

Nominated by: SarahThey do such amazing work. They are through in their vetting and open and up front about the dogs in their care. The fosters work closely and lovingly with the dogs they have in their homes. They are 100% non-profit and volunteer run.

I know they have saved 100s if not 1000s of Boston Terrier’s lives and landed them in loving homes. They make a difference for so many lives.

Nominated by: LisaThey are an incredibly kind, dedicated, tireless group. The hard work and generosity of the volunteers is something beyond words. 100%volunteer driven...they tirelessly fundraise, care for the sweet souls that quickly become family, and educate the public.

Nominated by: JanetI have so much admiration for every person behind a successful rescue and adoption. Everyone works around the clock to ensure our pups receive excellent care, lots of loving, finding their perfect family and home. Across Canada, from the board, volunteers, foster family and adopters, they all are heroes in my eyes.

Nominated by: PattiBoston Terrier Rescue Canada is a 100% volunteer-run organization. The rescue does not have a central shelter facility; instead, individuals volunteer from their private homes. These volunteers have jobs, families, and their own pets to care for in addition to conducting countless hours of rescue work each week. Volunteer work includes, among other tasks, fostering dogs, transporting dogs, attending fundraising events, and conducting home visits and reference checks. BTRC has been able to rescue hundreds of Boston Terriers, and Boston mixes, from all across Canada due to the dedicated individuals who give so selflessly of themselves. This organization definitely deserves recognition.

BESTIE: BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE CANADA

LOCATION: ARNPRIOR, ON

Nominated by: BrigitteThis group does amazing work... all volunteer... rehabilitating and re homing Boston Terriers in need. Many of their volunteers drive long distances to collect dogs from unhealthy situations and bring them to safe foster homes. These unsung heroes only ask that the dogs are happy. Vet bills are huge and this group tirelessly raises much needed funds to offset those costs. None of the monies raised are used for any purpose other than vet care for the dogs. BTRC also maintains a Set For Life program which insures that even old, sick, and otherwise unadoptable dogs remain in the care of BTRC as long as they need to... a lifetime if necessary. Truly this is a deserving group.

Nominated by: KellyThere are so many “happily ever after” stories because of this volunteer-run, national rescue organi-zation and all the hard work they do to find homeless Boston Terriers their new forever families. The volunteers work tirelessly to fund all veterinary and other care each dog needs. I have a particular love of BTRC’s “Set For Life” program - where the rescue finds permanent loving foster families for dogs that, for reasons such as health or age, can not be considered adoptable. The financial expenses for these special Bostons are covered by BTRC for the rest of their lives.

Nominated by: TracyAll the volunteers work hard to help these soulful babies. My own Boston was adopted from BTRC.

Nominated by: JulieGreat rescue ..... They work very hard. I’ve rescued through them.

Nominated by: DonnaThe Boston Terrier rescue is an extraordinary example of giving back and helping dogs find their forever homes.

I adopted my dog from them and they were a pleasure to work with. Staff are primarily volunteers; maybe all volunteers? Lots of volunteers right across the country, who help each other and work hard for the sole purpose of helping these sweet little dogs.

Nominated by: TammyBTRC is a not for profit rescue, the many volunteers always go the extra mile to save, protect, edu-cate, donate, and much, much more. Many dollars are spent vetting the rescues and the money is solely depended upon donations.
