About Boston Terrier Adoption
Boston Terrier adoption is the best choice for many families. I have three Boston Terriers. They are an Amherst miniature white pit bull terrier, a waffle white terrier, and a chocolate white pit bull terrier all about the same age. They are all loving and funny and make great pets.
The most important thing when it comes to any kind of dog is to be diligent and get regular exercise. I am not saying go out and adopt every dog you see but do go out and get your dog examined by a veterinarian once a year. Have him or her spayed or neutered if recommended.
When you go to buy a Boston Terrier get a professional breeder that does not mind if you pay a little more than a regular pet store. Some good places to look for a Boston Terrier are rescue groups, the internet, and a reputable breeder. I would like to pass on some tips on how you can find the best Boston terrier for your family and to hopefully help others in finding the right dog for them.
The first thing you want to do before you start the Boston terrier adoption process is to make sure you microchip your puppy.
Microchips are given to dogs that have been immunized and have had all of their shots. They are tested for everything from cancer to worms and all sorts of other diseases and should last a lifetime so this is definitely worth the cost.
Secondly, you should call all of the animal shelters you can find in your area. There are usually several different shelters that will love to accept dogs because they love to take them in. Sometimes you can contact shelters through the internet and sometimes the shelters themselves have websites you can check out.
Once you have reached a few shelters look through the list of dogs and pick one that looks the most promising. Once you have found a Boston terrier rescue dog you need to meet the owner. This is usually pretty easy, sometimes you just shake hands and the dogs are yours. Some people prefer to see a picture of the dog, others just want to know more about the person who will be adopting the dog. If you are contacting a shelter they will ask for a picture as well.
Once you have met the owners and you feel like you know the person, it is time to get to work.
The next step in the adoption process is to find out where these puppies are coming from. Most Boston Terrier rescues and shelters have a website where you can find more information on the dogs. You can also go through the phone book or look in your local newspapers for a list of reputable breeders in your area that rescue dogs.
There are many reasons why so many terriers are being abandoned each year. In many cases, they are just abandoned because the owner can’t keep up with the expenses of the dog. Sometimes the person who buys a Boston Terrier pup doesn’t take care of it and either it gets sick or it has some kind of medical issue and has to be put to sleep. It could just be plain old neglect on the part of the owner.
When you are looking for a Boston Terrier puppy make sure you ask about the cost of adoption. Many shelters and rescues have puppies for sale and the cost of adoption is usually low. But this is not always the case and you should always ask about the cost of adoption before purchasing the pup. Ask how much the shelter will take for the puppy and what is the cost of boarding for a week or two with the pup. These are just a few things to ask when you are trying to find a good Boston Terrier puppy for adoption at a reasonable price.
