Adopt a Boston Terrier in Rhode Island

Boston Terriers are friendly, lively, and well-mannered small dogs nicknamed 'the American Gentleman.' They appear in rescue with health-related surrenders common in flat-faced breeds. A rescued Boston is affectionate, adaptable, and a great urban companion.

Rhode Island's rescue dog community is small and runs heavily on transport from Southern states. Organizations in Providence and across the state partner with high-volume shelters elsewhere. A rescued Rhode Island dog has typically traveled north through one of these networks.
