“Boston Terrier, not fixed, free to a good home”...

Hi!  My name is Muppet. I am approx. 4 ½ yrs. old.  I didn’t think life could get any better until many folks came to my RESCUE.  My story begins where I want to remember. 

My skin itched so badly, all I could do was scratch, bite, and roll.   My heart was hurting and my ears weren’t working.  Lying in my crate, the door opens, it’s a bright light!  They, my rescue parents, scooped me up and a good life began.  Their wealth of love comforted me into, a long awaited, restful sleep.

My new home was great, but I still wasn’t feeling good.  The vet people said that I have heartworms and would have to go through treatment with strict confinement.  My skin felt better, but my deafness was permanent. 

Today, I’m heartworm free!  Frisbee and chasing water drips are two of my FAVORITE things to do.  I am smart.  Sign language is my vocabulary and watching hand movements is more interesting now than before. I LOVE my rescue parents, but HATE my extended furry family…especially, that older furry female.   I’ll get her when she least expects it. 

One too many times I guess.   It’s been a year now and I still don’t like that furry old lady or any-furry-body else for that matter!  My rescue mom is crying as my rescue dad makes several phone calls.  I guess I’ll be moving along.

Joe, Marlana, Karen (Boston Terrier Rescue of East TN) and Michele (Paws & Pilots) stepped up to save my day.  Realizing the urgency of our situation, they found a safe place for me with Karen (my new foster mom).  And Michele only charged me a few kisses for the safe flight to York, PA.

I am a very happy pup and couldn’t feel luckier for this opportunity of a lifetime!
