This is the most exciting announcement EVER! One of my ultimate hopes and dreams for my Bostonista! Beds is to be able to do at least two BULK donations a year to shelters in need. I am bursting with excitement for BTRET at this moment because two of their most awesome rescuers, Renee Ussery and Courtney Bryson, are making a dream of their own a reality; they received shipment today of the blocks that will build the walls of the shelter they are building in Rutlidge, Georgia called Rescue Ranch! I am so amazed and so proud for these two I can hardly stand it. As all of you as my witness I am going to fill that shelter up with so many Bostonista! Beds all them lil’smooshy heads will spin!
With an enormous amount of hard work, fund-raising, amazing parents and supporters Renee and Courtney have done an outstanding job on renovating the 200-year-old farmhouse on the property they purchased in Rutledge, Georgia and will be breaking ground on the kennel very soon! I LOVE this part; they have even kept the original bricks from the farmhouse and have made them available for $30 a brick with your own engraved message; all these bricks will be on site at the kennel they are building! I ordered mine today and can’t wait to see it when me and the momma drive our beds to Georgia this summer! Please consider puttin’ a brick in the wall for the love of bosties, this is a great thing and we are so happy for these girls and all the bosties they save. Thank you for doing what you do ladies and me and the momma will see you soon!

Friends, I can barely type these words but with a sadness I’ve never known I make this post to let you all know that our beloved Zoey has crossed the rainbow bridge. Her issues became too great and too many for her to overcome at her age. On top of everything else she crashed into acute renal failure, it all just became too much for her little body to fight so we chose mercy to allow our precious baby to rest and be free from struggle or pain. Zoey was the love of my life , she changed my life and she changed the life of countless rescue Bostons over the last 15 years. It’s truly the end of an era. The loss feels unspeakable, I don’t know how to be without her we were so connected. She was so very special, so intelligent, so exceptional. She changed my heart. Every dollar ever raised, every Bostonista bed ever made and donated, every foster ever helped was all because of Zoey. She forever changed my life and I was so exceptionally blessed that she found me to be her mom. She gave me the best 15 years of my life and I will be lost without her but so blessed to have loved her. ![]()
Thank you to each and every one of you who have been her friend all these years and helped her achieve such amazing goals in order to help Bostons in need. She was successful because you loved her and believed in her. My heart runneth over in appreciation to you all. ![]()

Zoey, Wait for momma with your auntie Donna. she will take care of you until we meet again my precious baby. I love you endlessly, momma is here ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭🙏
We can’t thank you enough for so generously offering to fill BTRET’s rescue ranch with beds. We really want to provide the utmost comfort and care for all the little souls that we come in contact with. Building an emergency shelter for the rescue started after we volunteered to help with a hoarding case and were horrorfied at the conditions that the dogs were in and overwhelmed by the need to place so many dogs in such a short period of time. We are honored and humbled by the boston communities support, along with our family and freinds support, of our efforts to provide just one piece of puzzle in caring for these precious gifts.
No worries Renee, It’s the least I can do and I can’t wait to get to Florida this summer and get to putting it all together and on the road to you! You’re very welcome and see you soon xo!
so glad to be aware of rescue ranch so much so that i hope to be able to help with the delivery of the bostonista! beds. all the best to you and your touching work at rescue ranch!
Oh Renee, Meet my auntie Cristina, she is the one who made my Bostonista logo and I’m sure she’ll help the momma with the delivery of all these beds 🙂
OMG, i was just reading about this last night and asked someone there how to go about buying a brick. We definitely need at least one. Maybe on in memory of our Angel Boston’s, too – Kipper, Kippy, Buster, and Tucker. WOW, this is amazing. Maybe one day we can all visit BTRET =)
Hey
We hope to have an open house when we get the shelter completed and all will be welcome. Here is the link to purchase bricks for the ranch.
