Boston Terriers in Need of Help!!!!


Dear Boston Terrier Lovers -Piglet has fallen on hard times! She was picked up as a stray by Birmingham/ Jefferson County, Alabama, Animal Control. From there, she came into rescue, where we found that she had pronounced upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, and whip and hook worms. While being treated for these afflictions, she managed to perforate her cornea (ouch!). This eye injury required a surgical repair, and the follow up treatment is at least a month of multiple eye drops and creams for her eye in addition to antibiotics and painkillers. To top off the suffering, she has to wear a large plastic collar (an E-collar) while she heals, lest she scratches her healing eye.Her medical bills are over $900.00 to date! If you can help out withPiglet's bills by sponsoring her, she (and we!) would be very grateful!




Boudine is a beautiful and sweet puppy who came to our rescue from a neglectful situation. He is only 8-1/2 months old and we suspect he had little, or no, vetting done prior to us receiving him. He is heartworm negative, and was treated for tape worms; and he was neutered. On his 4thday in rescue, he showed signs of parvo or another very similiar virus thatis going around. Parvo is very serious and deadly. This is why it is sovery important to start your puppies on their vaccines and keep them on an annual vaccination and physical exam schedule. Boudine's vet expenses are accumulating, and he is fighting to stay alive; and should you feel led to sponsor him, or contribute to his vet care, Birmingham Boston TerrierRescue would be so very appreciative.





Max just came to us from Louisiana and was rescued from a kill shelter. Along with his sweet, friendly disposition and good looks, he brought along with him hookworms, whipworms, and heartworms. He has been been neutered and treated for the whips and hooks, but still needs a heartworm treatment. He is young so his prognosis is good, but the longer he has heartworms the more extensive the permanent damage is done to his young, sweet heart. Max needs a sponsor to help him so he can get the treatment he needs sooner than later.Please visit her at the following weblink: www.BhamBTR.org
