We maintain a wish list on Amazon of supplies that we frequently use, and are sometimes pleasantly surprised with boxes that are delivered from Amazon.
Since we are a 501c3 rescue, all donations made to STBTR are tax deductible
Our donors are vital to STBTR. Some people just don’t have the ability to foster, a reliable vehicle to help with transport, or simply don’t have the time to help any other way than financially. We frequently have fundraisers when we have particularly heavy vetting needs.

🐾 Introducing Cle’ (pronounced “Flea”) – A Boston Mix With a French Twist!Cle’ is the newest heartthrob to hit the South Texas Boston Terrier Rescue scene, and he’s making a big impression in his foster home—literally. At 32 pounds, this 5-year-old Boston mix may carry a few extra love handles, but we think that just adds to his squishable charm. His look leans very Frenchie, and honestly, we’re not mad about it.He’s been soaking up adventures with his foster family, including neighborhood walks with a pint-sized cyclist companion. His energy is contagious—and while he’s working on keeping all four paws on the ground (especially around kids), he’s making great progress with guidance from his foster.Cle’ is currently being evaluated as his skin continues to heal, but we’re starting to line up potential adopters who are ready to cheer him on through the finish line of his glow-up.He’s housebroken, crate trained, obedience and leash trained, rides well in the car, and gets along great with other dogs. Cats? Not on his approved list.Cle’ is joyful, snorty, affectionate, and totally worth meeting.💻 Want to follow Cle’s journey, adopt a goofball like him, or become a foster home that changes lives?

(Extroverts—we see your calendar invites and raise you a snuggle buddy.) 😉
Forget the group chat guilt trips.
Forget the awkward backyard BBQs where you only know the host’s cousin’s dog.
Forget hiking invites from people who say “it’s an easy trail” (it never is).
🐾 Vinny believes in love at first cuddle. He also believes no one should have to wear pants on the weekend.
💤 Mia runs a tight cuddle schedule and expects punctuality—this isn’t amateur hour.
🌀 Cle, our Boston mix, is still perfecting his skincare routine but has already nailed the “don’t leave me” look.
All three of these incredible pups have fantastic foster homes and are ready to be adopted—but they’re also perfect examples of the wonderful dogs that come through South Texas Boston Terrier Rescue. To help the next snuggler-in-need, we need more foster homes like theirs!
𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆. 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁. 𝗜’𝗺 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.
It’s the socially acceptable way to stay home, wear stretchy pants, and change a life.
Fostering is free, flexible, and has better perks than your company’s dental plan. (Unlimited kisses. No deductible.) We provide the supplies—you provide the snuggles.
💻 Apply to foster at stbtr.org. Help us say “yes” to the next goofball in need of a soft landing.

Sadie with the white streak, left us at six years old with a malignant brain tumor and her sister Josie left us 11 months later with a stroke. Precious girls still live in my heart.

Our sweet Zoe passed away at age 12. True to her Boston nature, she was both super crazy and wonderfully sweet. Our hearts are still broken 💔🐾
Meet Vinny — A Gentle Soul Ready for His Forever Home 🐶❤️
At 12 years young, Vinny may be a senior, but he has a heart full of love and a gentle spirit that’s impossible to resist. Vinny is the kind of dog who doesn’t need much—just a cozy spot to nap, a few leisurely strolls, and someone to love. In return, he’ll give you calm companionship, soulful eyes, and a loyalty that runs deep.
He’s already house-trained, well-mannered, and long past the puppy phase. No chewing shoes, no midnight zoomies—just a relaxed, easygoing best friend who’s happy to be by your side. Whether you're reading a book, watching TV, or taking a walk around the block, Vinny will be right there with you, soaking in the simple joys of life.
Senior dogs like Vinny often get overlooked, but they have so much to offer—and they know when they’ve been given a second chance. Vinny is ready to spend his golden years in a home filled with warmth, love, and kindness.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, Vinny might just be your perfect match. 💛
Vinny is part of our Golden Years program. Ask us about it!

I recently adopted a senior 11 years young and he has added so much to our household. He loves the younger dogs and grooms them and comforts them and they love him back. Seniors are grateful for a home and bring such a blessing to their adopted home. So glad we adopted him. No trouble and a joy. A win win situation.
Just gorgeous!
Precious

This pretty girl is Luna. She came to STBTR with some issues. Our trainer, Danika, worked with her and believed she was acting out of fear. She’s made huge progress in the three weeks she’s been with STBTR. Although not quite ready at this time, we will be looking for an experienced owner who doesn’t have small kids. A yard for her to run and play. And other dogs appear to be a good thing for her. If you are approved and believe Luna could be a fit for you, please reach out to us. All others need to apply at STBTR.org today!

We put in an application a few weeks ago for a pup who has been adopted. If approved, can the application be transferred for Miss Luna?
Love her precious little face. She looks like my sweet Pepper that we lost 2 years ago
Adorable
