How To Adopt From This Rescue
Rather than an adoption application, the Minuteman Boston Terrier Club Rescue works through Petfinder to place Boston Terriers. Each Boston Terrier listed through them will have a unique list of parameters, price, and needs in their new home.
All of their dogs are adopted to the New England area and are medically assessed and vetted before placement. They are a smaller rescue and put a lot of detailed, one on one effort into every adoption.

Learn More About Adopting From A Boston Terrier Rescue
If you are curious about adopting a Boston Terrier from a rescue, listen to this podcast episode from the Boston Terrier Society.
I enjoyed talking with Tara, the Vice President of the Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue out of Jackson, Tennessee.
In this episode of the podcast, Tara talks about the steps you will need to take when adopting a Boston Terrier from her rescue.
Even if you are not getting a Boston from her rescue, the steps will be similar across the country.
Final Thoughts…
Adopting a Boston Terrier in need of a home is one of the most amazing things you could do for an animal. While the process may seem tedious at first, it is well worth the wait.
The rescues are going to be with you every step of the way in this process. And the rescues are there to help you after the adoption, answering any questions you may have.
Finding a good Boston (and avoiding scams) matters a lot—I walk through how I recommend doing that in my book.
