Sponsorship only! Please consider donating directly to Boston's care by being a monthly donor and sponsor! Its very easy to help us, help Boston's safe foster home, care for a high-risk dog. Boston is no longer available for adoption due to some issues that make adopting him difficult, but his foster is committing to him for the rest of his life. UDR will support Boston with continued care. Boston all of 6 years old, has had some serious medical issues this past year which have been quite costly to the rescue. It hardly seems right moving this sweet guy after three years with his foster dad who knows him in and out. We have made a pact to make this work so Boston can stay in this foster home forever! Boston is a dog that needs and thrives with an experienced Dobermans person and we have agreed he has found this home with his dad, but because the foster is financially limited, UDR will help to ensure Boston gets the care he needs and the foster has agreed to love him unconditionally for the rest of his life. Win, win we think!  If you would like to consider donating to Boston's care please make a note of this and we will ensure Boston and his wonderful forever foster dad will get the donation.
