Although the breed standard for the Boston Terrier is pretty strict on what they should look like, they are also strict on what the breed should act like. This attention to temperament has sadly been lacking in some other breed standards like the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Even pet quality Boston Terriers who would be laughed out of a show ring will not be offended, as they will be happy for the chance to make anyone smile.
Boston Terrier rescues are dog rescue organizations that specialize in rescuing purebred Boston Terriers from cruel and neglectful situations and then placing them in loving homes. Many of the rescued Boston Terriers come from puppy mills or abusive owners. Some of the rescued Boston Terriers suffer from mental and physical problems. Because they are so experienced with the breed, the Boston Terrier rescue is better able to address the dog’s medical needs. Once a dog is deemed healthy the mission of the Boston Terrier rescue facility is to find a nice family who will love the dog for the rest of its life.
