Boston Terriers

Boston Terriers hold a special place in my heart.  My very first foster was a Boston for the wonderful rescue called Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue.   They are such awesome dogs, I have one myself (rescued of course).  

I received an email yesterday that kinda tore me up.  There are 8 Bostons in Scott Co, Kentucky that were dropped off.  They seem to be pretty young, maybe one-ish.  They are in pretty bad shape.  It looks like they have Demodex which is a tiny mite that lives on the skin or hair follicles of mamals.  Luckily this is not contagious so I can scoop them up as soon as I see them.  At this point they have lost most of their hair, so they are going to be pretty itchy.

I am trying to gets these little guys today so wish me luck.  I will of course be leaving some updates as to what happens.
