s on her belly and was having quite a bit of eye trouble. Thanks to all the overwhelming support she received, she was able to have the mass removed and her eyes taken care of. Despite her being blind, Figgy is incredibly smart and resourceful — she loves to sit in her bed and cuddle with stuffed animals, and she definitely loves to cuddle up with both doggie and human friends. Figgy is about 26 pounds and requires special food to promote bladder health — thankfully, the food is readily available and inexpensive. She will also require some continued eye drops to prevent her eye from getting worse, but these are also inexpensive and readily available from any veterinary office. If you’re looking for a smart, fun, sweet, and cuddly addition to your family, Figgy Puddin’ is for you! Figgy is UTD, spayed, microchipped, crate trained, and potty trained! The adoption fee is $250.00. If you want to talk about me, please contact my foster family at the Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee, Kentucky Region Email me at: BTRETky@gmail.com and a foster momma or daddy will get back with you as soon as possible. Keep in mind this is the general mailbox for the entire KY Region. Please use the foster momma or dad's contact information above for questions. The process always begins with an application which can be found at The Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee website Note that in most cases, we do not adopt to families with small children, e.g., "under 6," as a precaution to the child's safety and the dog's safety. In some cases with larger Boston mixes or other dogs, we do make exceptions. Please ask the foster momma. We prefer to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to personally drive/fly to get the dog. The East Coast division (NC/SC/VA/MD/DC) does have special transport capabilties for their kids. Ask them. Also, submission of an application and fee does not guarantee adoption of any specific Boston since that particular dog may have applications pending or may not be the right match for you.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
