Rocco has been started on a drug treatment protocol to control the pemphigus and allow the many lesions covering his body to heal. 

While Rocco waits for the drug therapy to work he is spending his days in the same fabulous foster home as Hope.  Rocco’s foster mom gives him medicated baths to soothe his skin and remove the old, crusty lesions, giving him some temporary relief.  Rocco enjoys his days napping and his eyes light up at the thought of some of the delicious Canine Caviar!

Once Rocco’s pemphigus is in control we are certain he will return to being the happy go lucky funny boy he once was.  He loves people, dogs and cats.  He absolutely adores getting under the blankets and giving lots of Boston kisses. And even though he is not feeling 100% he will still give you that little Boston wiggle when he sees you.

Stay tuned for more Rocco updates!

Star Volunteer—Jan Roberts

A long-time animal lover, Jan’s first baby in this world was Rocky, a beautiful boxer. 15 years after losing Rocky, Jan decided the mourning was over, and she was ready for another flat-faced love bug in her life.  With her love for all things that snort and snore, Jan volunteered to be a foster parent with Boston Buddies, against the advice of all of her friends and family, who knew she would have a hard time letting the love bugs go once they were adopted. She has been volunteering for the past three years.

Jan was initiated into fostering with Quincy, a frail Bosty with terminal chronic leukemia.  Told that Quincy had just a few weeks to live, Jan was determined to make those two weeks the best of Quincy’s life. Two weeks quickly turned into two years—and Jan enjoyed every minute of her time with sweet Quincy. 

Known for taking in the less fortunate, the down and out, and the old and decrepit, Jan takes them in with love and compassion.  She has never suffered from “foster failure”—the inability to let a dog go to its new home.  “The best part of fostering is seeing these bundles of joy go to their new home and knowing that I did all I could to prepare them for the glorious life ahead of them,” said Jan.  “I love watching them blossom when they are showered with love and affection.”

Jan has reared every Boston personality—those that walk for miles to those that just won’t give up the ball to those that suffer from severe anxiety disorders. From Q and Jed to Dayna and Jackie, to beloved Quincy, they all hold a special place in her heart.  Jan’s table of photos of all of her dogs gives her much joy. The photo featured above is of Jan and Jed, a feisty little rascal. 

In Her Own Words—I can’t say enough about the Buddies, they have rescued so many dogs. It’s challenging and never-ending work. I’m so happy I can help out just a little bit. And honestly, the dogs really do ask for so little and give back so much. When they get adopted it's very much like sending a child off to school, I’m so proud of them. There was only one that really tugged at my heartstrings when he left, he was a senior who lived for his ball. When I saw him toddle off to his new owners car and put his beloved tennis ball in the cup-holder, I admit, I teared up...

Many thanks to Jan for her selfless dedication to Boston Buddies. We love you, and the dogs do too!
