Key Volunteers
The rescue agent for this group is Jennifer Misfeldt, who has been rescuing dogs since 2002. With the support of family, friends, and volunteers, rescuing Boston Terriers is the primary focus of her life. No one in this organization is paid, though Jennifer easily works on saving lives for more hours in a week than a full-time job. For her, it is truly a labor of love.
​
In addition to Jennifer, many rescue activities that make this organization a success is sustained by a vast network of volunteers.
​
Lifesaving Activities
MABTR takes in Boston Terriers of any age, gender, and physical/mental condition. Dogs are put in foster care until they are adopted. Prior to adoption, we provide complete medical care while in our care, which includes spaying and neutering (if 6 months and older), updating dogs on vaccines, testing and treating (when necessary) for heartworm, and microchipping. If other medical conditions present themselves while in our care, we address and treat them as well.
​
MABTR prides itself on the ability to give commercial breeder (puppy mill) dogs a second chance at life.
