UPDATE:

Puddles, the little Boston terrier who was found on Monday morning, is currently in foster care where he continues to receive excellent treatment.

We want to take a moment to thank you — from the bottom of our hearts — to everyone who called, emailed, and reached out to us to offer help and support for this little guy. We received offers to help Puddles from all over this small but mighty state, and it’s a great reminder that there are wonderful people everywhere.

We ask that you contact Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue if you’d like to donate toward his care and support his team

Puddles has an owner out there somewhere; they have yet to come forward. If you know this dog, we encourage you to contact us.

Very sincerely,
ACO Dawn

We don’t know this dog’s story yet, and until we do, we keep an open mind.

If this dog’s owner found themselves in a situation where they need help rehoming him, we are here for you. We can help.

So often, we see pet owners who need help providing care for their animals but are too ashamed to ask. We’re here for you, too.

Yes, we are enforcement Officers. But we serve this community first. We advocate, protect, educate, and provide resources.

Without owner information, Puddles (our name for him) will be forced to wait a week before he can be placed for adoption. This is stressful for a healthy dog, let alone a little guy in this condition.

Please…if you know this boy, we ask you to come forward to help *us* help him.
It’s not a crime to need help with your pets. It is, however, a crime to abandon them.

Sincerely,
ACO Dawn
