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.

🌟 Meet Shadow 🌟
This sweet girl has been patiently waiting for her forever home, and we know her perfect match is out there. Shadow is a true velcro dog—she’s happiest when she’s by your side, whether it’s enjoying car rides, cuddling at home, or going on adventures with her foster. She’s looking for someone she can bond with and be their special girl. 💕
We believe Shadow would thrive with a retired couple or someone who works from home, as she loves being close to her person. To help her find her happy ending, Shadow is part of our “Golden Years” program. Approved adopters aged 65+ will have her adoption fee waived, so this loving girl can finally find the perfect home she deserves. 🏡
Shadow is ready to bring endless love and companionship to the right family. Could that be you? Reach out to us to learn more about adopting Shadow today! ❤️🐾

Terry Brodsky perhaps the gentleman who was interested in Boudreaux originally but wanted a little larger more active dog? 🤔💭
🌟 Meet Maple: Your Low-Riding Superstar! 🐾 With her stubby legs, soulful eyes, and a heart full of love, Maple is ready to find her forever home! At just 3 years young and 29 pounds, she’s a pint-sized dynamo who loves soaking up the sun, zooming through the yard, and shooting through the doggy door at full speed!
Maple is a resilient sweetheart overcoming hip dysplasia and thriving after TPLO surgery. She needs a loving adopter who can support her health and happiness—because caring for her is as rewarding as it is meaningful.
Maple would do best in a calm home with a yard, a chill canine friend, and someone who understands her needs. She’s spayed, microchipped, and ready to steal your heart. 💖

Today is K9 Veterans Day, and we celebrate Sergeant Stubby (1916–1926), the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment. Assigned to the 26th (Yankee) Division in World War I, Stubby served for 18 months, participating in 17 battles and four offensives on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from mustard gas attacks, comforted the wounded, and allegedly held a German soldier captive until American soldiers arrived. His actions were documented in contemporary newspapers, and he received numerous awards, including a gold medal, a wound strip, and two purple hearts.
Stubby, a brindle-patterned Boston Terrier or “bull terrier” mutt, was found wandering the Yale University campus in July 1917. Corporal James Robert Conroy, who developed a fondness for him, hid him on the troop ship and concealed him under his overcoat when they arrived in France. Upon discovery, Stubby saluted his commanding officer, who allowed him to stay onboard.
Stubby, a 102nd Infantry Regiment soldier, served in France for 18 months, participating in 17 battles and four offensives. He entered combat on February 5, 1918, at Chemin des Dames, enduring constant fire for over a month. Wounded in April by retreating Germans, he improved morale by returning to the front.
In his first year, Stubby was injured by mustard gas and returned with a gas mask, learning to warn his unit of attacks and locate wounded soldiers. He captured a German spy, leading to his promotion to sergeant. After the retaking of Château-Thierry, women of the town made him a chamois coat with his medals. He was injured again by a grenade, earning two wound stripes.
Robert Conroy and Stubby returned home in 1918.

My daughter learned about this in school - there is even a kids movie about him on YouTube. Our Henry (rescued with STBTR ❤️) kinda looks like him …
🐾 Shadow is still searching for her forever home! 🐾
This sweet girl gets plenty of love, but no one has committed yet—can you believe it? At 35 lbs, Shadow is a little on the chunky side right now, but with a few pounds shed, she’ll be at her ideal weight and ready to shine! 🌟
Shadow is the ultimate velcro dog—she loves sticking by your side and would adore her very own mom to follow around the house. 🏡 She’s potty trained, great with cats, and gets along with easygoing dogs.
She’s also up for adventure! Shadow enjoys car rides, and she’d be thrilled to join you on hikes or long walks. She’s as loyal and loving as they come— Shadow just needs someone to see past her size and recognize the treasure she truly is. ❤️Please share her post to get her home found!
📍 Currently being fostered in Taylor, Texas. 📧 Contact us to meet Shadow and help her find the love she’s been waiting for! Go to stbtr.org

Meet Henry: The Goofy Gentleman
This 39-pound bundle of joy is looking for his forever home, and he’s ready to bring endless smiles and love to your life. Henry, the lovable Frenchie mix, is around 2 years old and has it all—no resource guarding, no accidents, no chewing, and he’s crate trained! He’s the perfect houseguest and a quick learner.
Henry is dog-friendly and has been having a blast with his foster sibling, an older male Boston named Frodo. However, he’s a little too enthusiastic about playing with the resident cats, who haven’t quite warmed up to his playful nature yet.
Henry is familiar with toys and chew bones and is learning how to play fetch. He’s just a big, loveable goofball who is sure to steal your heart.
Henry is currently being fostered in Houston, TX. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who knows how to enjoy life, Henry could be the one for you! Apply to adopt Henry at stbtr.org. #adoptdontshop #bulldogmixesofinstagram #southtexasbostonterrierrescue #adoptme
