Dog shelters were created to take care of homeless dogs as well as abandoned dogs. If you liked the look, bought into the Lassie phenomenon that dogs behaved because they wanted to please their people or because Biffy down the street had a poodle, you got a dog. I also have never felt completely comfortable asking others to foster dogs that I haven’t met and evaluated myself.

Make sure everyone in the family is in agreement regarding the type of pet you want to get (dog, cat, etc.) and also the breed, size and gender of the pet. I need to put my dog up for adoption as I might be forced to leave Japan, he is a 1.5 year old chichiuaua.

About Us: Boston Terrier Rescue Canada (BTRC) consists of a team of dedicated and compassionate volunteers across Canada with one goal in common: to help purebred or mixed breed Boston Terriers in need. You have your volunteers, your shelter workers, your donors, your wannabe-rescuers , your surrender-ers , and your adopters, just to name a few.

Angels with Fur Japan is now working with groups like Tokyo ARK and Japan Cat Network to display photos of dogs and cats who are up for adoption in Japan. Close to 700 puppies were rescued by the Humane Society, and those in good health were sent to animal shelters for adoption.

I would like to see us move to a different location as well as figure out a way to promote and adopt out our FIV cats. Adoption events are often busy, so please be prepared to wait a small amount of time to meet an animal and talk to one of our adoption counselors.
