Adoption Process and Monthly Stats
(scroll down for adoption stats)
The first step to adopting a rescued dog is completing an adoption
application. There is NO FEE for submitting an application with us.
There is an online adoption application (click on the bone below) or a hard copy
can be mailed to you. For a hard copy call 402-510-1346. You
only need to submit one application as we file it up to three (3)
months.
MABTR adopts to families in Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North & South Dakota, Arkansas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Once your adoption application is received you will receive an email confirmation within 72 hours of receipt. If you do not hear back from us within this time frame please contact us immediately as we did not receive your application. Adoption applications are kept on file for three(3) months or until we identify the right dog for you and your family. Once a Boston is identified the foster parent of the dog being considered will contact you for a phone interview. If agreed upon that we have found the right dog a home visit is then scheduled. The purpose of a home visit is to meet the prospective adopters and to evaluate the appropriateness and safety of the home that will be provided. If you reside within 60 miles from where the dog is being fostered then the dog will participate in the home visit.
Each adoption consists of an
adoption contract and an adoption
fee. The adoption fee varies from $150 to $350 which is based
strictly on the age of the dog. The adoption fee for Boston mixes range
from $150 to $175. For our dogs over the age of seven they qualify for our
Golden Paws for Golden Years program. Adoption fees help cover the medical costs invested in
the dog.
MABTR follows a simple but expensive process that involves foster care (click here to meet our foster families), medical care, rehabilitation (if necessary), placement (re-homing), and education to new owners regarding the health, care, and ownership of a Boston Terrier.
Your new Bostons will also come with all medical records, a harness, treats, a coupon for $5 off a bag of dry dog food from PetSmart and their favorite toy. Sweaters/T-shirts ($5-7) and crates ($15-20) are also available.
A trial period of two weeks is offered with each adoption to ensure we made the right match. It is at the end of the two week trial period does MABTR cash the adoption fee and register the microchip in your name.
MABTR has a great network of transport volunteers. With that said your travel requirements to meet your new dog is minimal. We have transports in and out of all the states we adopt to so you are eligible for dogs outside of your state.
MABTR is also always available to answer any questions or address any concerns.
