Boston Terrier Rescue is a 501(c)(3)non-profit corporation dedicated solely to the rescue, rehabilitation, and permanent placement of abandoned, neglected, abused, and unwanted Boston Terriers. Boston Terrier Rescue of Greater Houston, Inc., was founded by Karen Toupard in July 2000. Our group is comprised totally of volunteers who offer their time and talent to the mission of rescuing Boston Terriers in the states of Texas, Louisiana and surrounding areas. We do not refuse any dog, regardless of his or her background or medical condition. All dogs who come into our care are treated for illnesses, if any (most commonly heartworms); are spayed or neutered; are administered all vaccinations; are de-wormed, bathed and have their nails clipped; and are placed on flea and heartworm preventative. As of January 2007, over 450 Boston Terriers have been rescued by our group.
