ome that could take him. Harold was skin and bones when we got him. He was most likely used for breeding and was dumped since he was older, blind in one eye, had a huge mast cell tumor between his good eye and ear on the right side of his face. He was also not neutered! Oftentimes breeders dump their "rock stars" once they're no longer of value to them. Breeders generally do not take the best of care of these guys; they are simply a source of income. Harold had the necessary surgery to remove the tumor, has been neutered and since he's on a quality diet, he has put on some weight and now looks amazing! He has long legs and a beautiful coat with brindle in it. Harold gets along well with other dogs, all people and would most likely do well with respectful children. He has a wonderful disposition, is potty/crate trained, loves to go bye bye, walks well on a leash, is a snuggler and gives very gentle kisses. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. All Mr Harold really needs is a safe, comfy place to rest his his head and get spoiled rotten for the rest of his life! He will thank you by providing you with the very best companionship imaginable. Seniors are past all the puppy behaviors and simply want your love and to give love. ❤️ About Mr Harold: Age: Approximately 12 yrs old Color: Black, white & brindle Weight: Approximately 27 lbs Medical: UTD on all vaccines, HW-, Neutered and Microchipped House Manners: Crate & potty trained Disposition: Gentle, polite & patient Dogs: YES People: YES Children: Respectful children will most likely be fine Cats: Unknown The adoption fee for Mr Harold will be $200.00 Keep in mind that 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. PLEASE NOTE THAT AFTER MARCH 1, 2014, WE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM NY, CT, RI, MA, VT AND NH 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.
