My husband and I have decided to extend our family with a dog. What are some trustworthy and humane places we can go about getting one?

Our preference is that he should be great with kids as we have two little ones that live with us part time.

don't focus on a breed a rescue is better deal, already house broken too THe worc Animal rescue has too many pitbulls (too risky but they're smart and have high energy)

Look up rescue dogs by breed online and see if there are places

you may have to travel 100 miles to get what you want though

Worcester Animal Rescue League is the shit. We’ve gotten all our animals from them for the last 20 years.

How many animals, if you don't mind me asking. And, thank you for your advice.

If you want a Boston Terrier you better caught up 2000 plus and they have all kinds of health problems. Your best bet is to go to a local shelter and adopt a mixed breed dog. They are much healthier and you would be giving a dog a good home. Look into dogs health issues before you decide on a breed. It could save you lots of heart ache and vet bills.

It's a bit of a drive, but in Connecticut there is a good rescue shelter called savealldogs. The link is below. It looks like they have a couple Boston terrier pups right now!
