Boston Rescue - Maryville and Alcoa TN Areas

Good looking kid Jackson Lee has been adopted and he's now located in Jacksonville, FL where he's a department head with the Mayo Clinic there.

Mr. Cheify Nelson has been adopted and has moved from the mountains of Roodwood, TN to the mountains of Chattanooga, TN

Cheify is still little more than a poopie dog but his new parents say he's learning fast.

Little Miss Sophie Ussery, weenie dawg, has been adopted and has moved into her new home. We'll have a little more shortly. She's nothing short of a miracle weenie dog.

Miss Cookie Elizabeth has been adopted and has moved all the way to Springfield KY. We have some pics.

Bud the rat terrier came to the rescue with his two younger siblings (both now adopted) a few years ago. He was really a "behind the scenes kind of guy".

Quietly, and without fanfare, took the position of Poppy's caretaker, assisting him to find the food, water, blanket, potty pad, etc. because Poppy was 2 years older and blind and deaf. They always slept together, cuddling to keep each other warm under their blankets. I don't think they were ever more than a few feet apart the entire time they were together. Bud was Poppy's best friend in the world, and he spent most of the day yesterday crying for Bud. Today is a little better. Bud was a true southern gentleman, even at 16 with painful arthritis and a number of age related ailments, he remained patient and loving with his best friend.

Now that he has gone to the Bridge, he no longer feels "old" as he waits for Poppy to join him. They will play and feel the sunshine on their backs, and no more pain. Bud will be missed by the entire family. We miss you Bud House,

Our Sweet old (18yo) boy, Poppy, has gone to the bridge this morning to meet his BFF, Bud. They will be feeling so much better and I know Bud was standing there, waiting for Poppy. Smile sweet boy, run and play, and say hello to all your other friends. Be Happy! I will see you again, and until then you will both be sorely missed. We love you both.....

God Bless you little men

Hi, hope you enjoyed the holidays, as we did with our new companion Zack. Here some pictures

Katie and Major Berens begin the new year properly. Either grab a ball and "do something" with it, or, take a little nap.

We have some recent pics of Bubba Gump and his family, the Lindauer family. Mr. Suds Greene, Grandfather Boston, watches over everybody.

Caesar wanted me to share this picture of him and his best friend Turbo with you all and this picture of him with Troy and Turbo taking a nap today. He has a VERY rough life here. :)

Little Skippy Baker now lives in Cartersville, GA with his new parents, Amy and Steve. He's a handsome little guy and we're hoping for fresh pics.

Mr. Henry Aaron has been adopted but he didn't have to go far. His foster momma and his new parents are both in Rockwood, TN.

We're very pleased to announce the adoption of Miss Peaches Elise to her new momma Debra in Marietta GA where she has a new sister already, a little Boston gal named Dottie.

The tale of Noel Star

My name is Noel Star and I would like to share my story with you.

I came to a rescue from afar

Saved from death row

For I committed no crime

Just another unloved dog set to perish

Yet fate intervened

I flew from my cage like a snow white dove

It was a miracle, a Christmas miracle

For not one life was saved but seven

For I was like another Mother seeking a shelter from the storm

The North Star guided my path to my sanctuary

Where I could heal and my babies grow

A quite place to rest my weary mind

My foster Mom rushed around making the house ready for the birth of my babies

She feed me good food, gave me warm bed but most of all love and peace of mind

But the stress of my past took away my future a few days later

My babies came too soon and they slipped away one by one.

Each time my heart broke and my eyes cried endless tears

We could do nothing but hold them and tell them not to be scared, for at the Bridge others are waiting for them.

They will watch over you till I can be with you once more when my journey is done

We gave them each names and kissed them one last time

We laid my little ones to rest and set their souls free

They are dearly missed

Today the North Star again guided my path

I got to meet another wonderful lady

She is going to take care of me now, I love her already.

She will take care of me while I recuperate

So that is my story I close the chapters on my past and set my eyes forward to writing my future.

I ask you to remember this story and the names of my babies.

Let not their deaths be in vain, let is shed light on those needing sanctuary from the cruelty of man.

Rest in Peace babies

Miss Marnie Noel and Mr. Sparky Bark have been adopted together and have moved to Candler, NC near Asheville. Marnie's just staying tight with her new momma Jennifer but Mr. Sparky is toying with the idea of a career in TV.

Gertie came from Yancy County shelter in NC in July of 2010, after the shelter manager there said "I will bring her to you if that's what I need to do." East TN took her in of course, and eventually she ended up here, to find out what was going on with her at Chilhowee. Mike offered to foster her inasmuch as we still didn't know what was going on, had some strange skin issues and had the appearance of early signs of Cushings. It crossed my mind more than once too, that she might have been an English Bulldog lady, dressed up in a Boston suit.

When she was getting ready for the ride on Bogie's Boston Air for Apex, NC, Gertie turned and she looked at me and I knew then she was going to be Gertie Owen. Mike and Karen lavished her with attention, both to her medical problems and her little Boston soul. She couldn't have been in finer care and now she's getting fitted for a larger set of Boston wings.

Gertie is probably already back to Mike and Karen, a special Boston angel again.

Penny Lane is doing fantastically! We are at my parents in Baltimore for the holidays and she has become BFFs (best friends forever) with my parent's dog, Libby. (You can see them together in the attached photo.) My sister knit her the coat she's wearing, which she tends to wear outside in the cold weather. My parents think she's a delightful house guest and everyone who has met her this holiday season (and it's been a lot of people!) have absolutely loved her. It's the ears. There's been a lot of debate over her ancestry, but I simply say she's a purebred American mutt and people seem to like that.

Her car anxiety is getting better, but can sometimes be set off if she really needs to potty, at which point we find a good place to stop and let her do her business. She otherwise just lays in the seat and watches me drive. Every once in a while I'll catch her snoozing, but it doesn't happen often. She loves the dog walker who takes her out in the middle of the day, and he is equally enamored.

I hope everyone down there had a good holiday season! Thank you again for Penny, she's a joy and a half.

Billy Kid does keep Jim running. Here we are at the beach again. Billy's got big plans for Jim when the weather gets nice again........

Poopie Billy Ray Cyrus has been adopted and this little man now lives in Ocklawaha, Fl with his momma Susan and Aunt Rosemary.

Mr. Jimmy Buffett has been adopted and this little guy now lives in Ft Pierce, FL with momma Tracy and new daddy Ryan.

Another of the Zoe poopies, a powerful singer, Mr. Frankie Sinatra has been adopted and is happily living in Jensen Beach, Florida, with his new momma Heldie.

Zoe had a bunch of poopies. They ought to figure out a way to keep the kids in touch.

Miss Sassy Pants has been adopted and she now lives in Jacksonville, FL with her new momma, Connie.

Here's another one of Zoe Jane's little kids, Cher Bono. Cher lives with her new daddy Ken in Savannah Ga. She's probably had time for the little puppy bimp to heal up on her noggen.

Little Willie Nelson (poopie) has been adopted and now lives in Sunrise Florida with his new momma. He is one of six kids born to momma dog Zoe Jane.

We're delighted to announce that Mr. Pudge Bentley has been adopted and is living in the Atlanta area, a transplanted little Bug from Kentucky.

He's a happy little guy, prefers to sleep in bed (of course), with all four pointed straight up.

Miss Lovely Valentina has been adopted here in Maryville and she's in the middle of a bunch of kids, large and small.

Little Trixie Lynn has been adopted and she's now handling things at a horse rescue.

Trixie is high heartworm positive, so she'll be taking it easy for the next few months to get past that problem.

Baby Pearl Bailey has been adopted and is now living in Albany, GA with her momma Linda. Pearl is going to be a TV reporter for WALB-TV when she grows up.

We're very pleased to announce the adoption of former foster kid Maggie Lynn to Robin and her family of Bostonians. They live in Dover, FL.
