Boston Buddies Inc

Adoption Program: Boston Buddies takes into our care dogs from animal shelters and owners no longer able to care for them. Dogs are either placed in a volunteer foster home or boarded (when no foster homes are available). In 2024 Boston Buddies spent $31250 to board dogs when volunteer foster homes were not available. Once the dogs have been vetted and medical needs taken care of we put them on our website and social media, listed on Petfinder and Adopt a Pet and advertised as adoptable. Boston Buddies charges an Adoption Fee for our dogs. Adoption Fees range from $100-$600 depending on the age and medical needs of the particular dog. Pre-pandemic Boston Buddies participated in adoption fairs and events where we would bring current foster dogs looking for homes. Boston Buddies follows up on all adoptions and remains committed to the dogs for their lifetime. Our Adoption Agreement requires that dogs be returned to Boston Buddies in the event the adopter dies or can no longer care for them. Boston Buddies remains available to adopters, and to members of the general public, for advice and trouble shooting for their dogs. Boston Buddies never euthanizes due to space limitation or length of time in foster care. Boston Buddies has assisted over 2550 dogs in need from time of inception through December 2024.

Training: Boston Buddies often takes in dogs that are in need of behavioral training prior to being made available to the public for adoption. Boston Buddies utilizes the services of professional behaviorists to assist in this program. During 2024 Boston Buddies spent $9090 in training (often in board and train situations) of our dogs.

Boston Buddies also spent $1484 on dog food and $129 on registering/re-registering microchips
