Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent, and his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass—his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

We understand that making the decision to give up your dog is a tough one. If you are unsure about making this decision, call us at 866-778-3705 (see blue paragraph below); and maybe we can help you find a way to keep him or her! For an urgent surrender, please send an email to: 1461986 @ usamobility.net providing only your name, area code with phone number, and complete physical address, with Boston Terrier Surrender in the subject line. Do not send a narrative.

Please DO NOT use the above phone number: (1) to release your Boston Terrier if you have contacted other rescue organizations because doing so creates an unnecessary duplication of efforts on the part of many volunteers, and/or (2) to apply for or inquire about available Boston Terriers, (3) to inquire about the status of an adoption application. Yes, all three of the aforementioned conditions apply to you without exception.

Please understand that the dogs we take in are prioritized. Dogs coming from a shelter, where they are in danger of being put to sleep, and unclaimed strays are given first and top priority. Next, we look at dogs who are in need of immediate health care that their owners cannot provide. We then consider other dogs. For an owner release, we often ask that people foster their dogs while we look for a permanent home for them.

If you are unable to care for your dog any longer and if we do not have an available foster home, we hope that you will contribute to the cost of boarding them. Sometimes this is not possible, and we will still take the dog; but since we are funded by donations and since the cost of rescue outweighs the contributions, we hope that you can help us out while we help you out by finding a great home for your dog.

Thank you for your cooperation.
