Did you know that MABTR has a hospice program? There are currently 7 Bostons in hospice care with terminal diseases.  

MABTR has made it our mission to take in and care for as many Bostons as possible, especially those who are terminally ill and need a loving place to spend their final moments. Our hospice program provides exactly that - a home with a good quality of life for dogs whose time is limited.  We believe that terminally ill Bostons who appear to be pain-free and desiring to live should be given the opportunity to do so in a loving environment for however long they have left.   

Meet Otis.  Otis came into rescue January 2015 as a result of his owner not being able to afford his care.  Otis was struggling eating and drooling for over a month before we were called on.  He saw two vets that diagnosed him with an enlarged salivary gland; however once that cleared, he continued to have problems drooling.  He was then seen at the IA State University where he was diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma (cancer) of the lymph nodes in the neck and chest that is fast growing.  We will keep Otis comfortable and pain free while he is with us.

How it works: 

A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice. The microchip is implanted between the dog's shoulder blades under the skin. The microchip can be detected with a scanner that all rescue groups, shelters and vet clinics have that reads the chip. This device then displays a unique alphanumeric code that is associated to your contact information. You or your vet need to make sure the microchip is registered.

Many of us travel for business or pleasure by car. We are looking for you to help us transport a dog from one state to the next to get him/her into foster care or towards their forever home.  

Share with us your travel plans even those scheduled in the future. Email luckypawpals@aol.com your starting and ending location, date of travel, and your name and phone number. We file the travel schedule and if the need approaches we will contact you with details.
