Owning a dog requires financial and care giving responsibility of the new owner. Relocation costs and travel crate is the responsibility of the new owner. BTCA Rescue screens prospective owners to be sure they can provide suitable homes. Once a prospective owner is approved, the Rescue network then tries to match them up with the appropriate dog. Interestingly, most of the Bostons needing homes are males in age from one to five.
Many people incorrectly think females to be more affectionate than males.
The Boston Terrier male is a sweet and responsive companion. Since all rescue animals are required to be neutered as part of the placement process, the gender should not matter. Males who are rejected are often nearing sexual maturity, and instead of neutering the dog, the owner puts them up for adoption. Even when an owner had not desired to breed, they will often reject the pet as a result of problems that could have been resolved by neutering. The Rescue has volunteers who work to adjust behavior problems that are not serious in nature.
