Any time of the year Heat Stroke can quickly kill a dog

NEVER leave them in cars unattended

DON'T leave them outside when it's hot and

DON'T leave spilled antifreeze when doing automobile maintenance.  

Just a teaspoon can kill a dog.  Use the new stuff that tastes bad if you can find it !!!!!!

Don't forget it's also Bee and Wasp time most of the year and a sting can literally kill a Boston Terrier.  Be sure to have Benadryl on hand in case you need it!

Here's some more on Heatstroke in dogs

Hot Weather and Pets Summer Tips:

It's That time of the year when the air is dry and your dog may be miserable

For Happy eyes for dogs: 

Use 1 or 2 drops of Equate  (or an  equivalent brand) gentle lubricant eye drops in each eye of an older dog once or twice each day.  Check the back panel of any brand for "Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose 0.3%"  That's the correct lubricant.

IT'S ALWAYS YELLOW JACKET, WASP and BEE TIME!!!

When yellow jackets and other nasty bugs become particularly mean and many Bostonians (as well as Boxers and other short snouted dogs) are often very badly affected by a sting. If your pooche shows bad facial swelling, especially around his or her muzzle, redness and/or appears to be scratching at or biting at it's feet, you must move very quickly or the results could be very, very bad.  

Don't take ANY chances!

Our advice (unless you're sure you know what you're doing) is to get the dog to the vet ASAP!! You can also ask your vet now about keeping some Benadryl (or the less expensive generic version Diphenhydramine HCl in 25 mg caps) handy in the case of an emergency.

If we see any indication of a yellow jacket sting, e.g., rapidly swelling muzzle and face, licking feet, etc, we give the dog ONE caplet in a piece of cheese immediately and start watching it carefully, planning a trip to the vet if there's no quick improvement, but you need to be talking to your own vet now.

Tracy Turley needs some help.   Somebody shot him in the left arm apparently trying to kill him it was so badly mangled it had to come off.    He's out of the crate and with the other kids now

Tracy would appreciate some help with the vet bills.  It took $560 to get the arm fixed up at Chilhowee

If You Need to Surrender Your Dog

If you have a Boston Terrier for whom you can no longer care, contact us at 865.983.3272 or email us at info@bostonterriertn.org instead of taking your dog to a shelter or call the Boston Terrier rescue nearest you.

Once at a shelter an "owner surrender" dog is typically euthanized (killed) within three days and in some cases, within the same hour depending on over crowding.

Although there are legitimate reasons for having to give up a dog, dumping a dog at a shelter or pound to avoid paying kennel fees for a vacation, etc., is a rotten thing that only losers do.  Waiting 'till the last minute to call a rescue, especially if the dog has already been dumped, makes our life even more difficult.  

Please have the dog up to date on shots and vet records available to us.  We are all volunteers and we survive on donations, volunteers and charity.  Many times people call, ask for help and then disappear.   If you really want help, you're going to have to communicate and do it promptly with all the materials we ask you to send.

More than 1/3 of the nearly 8 million dogs annually euthanized in the United States are dumped there by their "protectors," the people they trusted, their owners.  The chances of them being adopted are slim.  

A dog dies every eight seconds in a shelter somewhere, scared and waiting desperately to be saved by somebody, anybody.  Most of them don't even have names anymore.

With these staggering numbers, every time a puppy or kitten is purchased at a pet store, or from a back yard breeder or at a flea market, an older dog or cat or a litter of pups or kittens somewhere gets a death sentence.  It's not just inhumane, it's shameful.

Rosie's Story

Remember too these brave kids, killed at shelters hoping and waiting patiently for someone to come for them.  It doesn't seem too much to ask.

For Adoption of those VERY SPECIAL Boston Terriers:

 DO NOT believe what they tell you in pet stores about small dogs and small children!!!

Bostons generally do NOT do well with young children.  We'll be glad to discuss this with you but you need to know this is a concern upfront.

Pet Vet Medicines is a pharmacist owned web site whose mission is to supply quality pharmaceuticals to pet owners at very reasonable prices

They have also been very good to the Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee and we appreciate that special kindness

If you operate a rescue or foster and have need of pet meds, vaccines, and other rescue supplies, do yourself a big favor and talk to Larry - we did and we're cutting costs

Rescue is a good way to go broke and were it not for very kind sponsors in the rescue community, we would not be able to operate long.

Hill's has been kind enough to supply us with their finest dog food for these little Bostonians and they are thriving very well on it.  We've seen none better.
