Chère Georges,
You are black and white
I’m a Boston too
Although you are far away
I still love you
You love your orange ball
I love orange cheese
We are both happy fosters
Who are eager to please
We are young and healthy
Our time as fosters may be short
But we can send love letters
Back and forth
Georges, will you be my Valentine?
Love,
Mia
❤❤❤❤❤
It looks like we have another BTRC love connection! Mia is being fostered in Northumberland County, Ontario and Georges is being fostered in Montreal, QC. Both dogs are not yet ready to be considered for adoption.
One dental down and many more kisses to go!
It didn’t take long for BTRC foster Georges to bounce back after his dental. Dental x-rays showed 13 troublesome teeth that needed to be extracted, then all his remaining teeth were cleaned and shined to pearly white!
Georges took a long snooze upon returning from the vet, but awoke with a big appetite, a wiggly bum and a desire to play! When he realized there were no chewies or balls in the toy bin, he knew something was up. Georges, being the good boy he is, took all the soft toys out of the bin and gently presented his favourite piggy, monkey and hedgehog to his foster mom – but knew it wasn’t time to play.
Being a topnotch employee, Georges was quickly back to work in his usual spot – the assistant’s chair – while his foster mom worked from home.
We are happy to report that Georges’ recovery has gone smoothly and he has eagerly returned to playing with his beloved orange ball. 🧡

Hi Santa Paws,
I’m sending you this letter to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I had the bestest Christmas ever! My foster mommy says it’s polite to send thank you cards to people when they do nice things like you did for me. My foster mommy is teaching me about manners and how to be a good boy. She tells me I’m getting gooder and gooder every day.
Ya know, Santa, I was close to not being able to celebrate Christmas. But a nice person at my vet’s office helped me get to BTRC and I got to have Christmas, and my foster mom said it’s the first of many more!
I know lots of pups are the most excited about the toys they got for Christmas but I’m the most happy about being safe and having a foster mommy who really cares about me. She does training with me and takes me for nice walks. She tells me I’m a good boy and this makes me feel super happy. Oh, and Santa, thanks for gifting me with a foster sister. She’s a cat and I like to snuggle up with her. I also like this really cool house she has. She does her pee pees and poo poos in it, so my foster mom says that her house isn’t for me and that those aren’t treats inside.
See how lucky I am, Santa? Thank you for bringing me all these gifts in time for me to have a special Christmas.
My foster mommy says that a new year is coming and I gotta make something called a resolution. This is a big word so mommy said to think about it like a goal – something I will try hard to do.
My New Year’s resolution – be the goodest boy I can be.
Love,
Georges
Welcome Georges!
BTRC was contacted by a vet clinic about a 2-year-old Boston that was scheduled to be euthanized. His family was concerned about his reactive behaviour to visitors to their home, was worried about him being around children, and didn’t feel they could follow through with the training and management he would require.
We don’t know the circumstances surrounding these incidents, what triggers Georges may have, or what role environment played. All we do know is that after Georges is allowed to settle into his foster home, we’ll learn all we can about what makes him tick, and will address any unwanted behaviours with the guidance of a professional, positive reinforcement trainer.
Though Georges hasn’t been with us long, he has proven to be full of spunk! His foster mom describes him as an “energetic and smart guy” who loves to play fetch and give kisses. He is intrigued by his feline foster sister (though she doesn’t share the sentiment 😹)!
