North of Boston Animal Rescue, Inc.

We had a great experience with them. Very professional and you can tell they put their heart and souls into caring for the animals.

I had never «rescued» a dog before. But when searching for a new fur baby to add to our family, I came upon NBAR, Inc., through Petfinder. There was a beautiful picture of a little Morkie that had been rescued along with his Maltese siblings from Arkansas… it was love at first sight! I had been in the process of trying to adopt a puppy through other organizations… had filled out the applications, called, sent emails… and nothing… No responses. As soon as I saw Cooper’s picture, I immediately picked up the phone, pretty early in the morning I might add, and was greatly surprised to have my call answered on the second ring. Diandra went through the very thorough process that they go through for each and every rescue they receive, and goes above and beyond with her commitment to find them the perfect home. The day we picked up Cooper, he was freshly bathed, brushed and happy as any well loved puppy is! I didn’t feel like I was adopting a new pet, but rather, I was being allowed the privilege of taking responsibility for keeping him as happy and well loved as he’d been in the care of NBAR and Diandra. I felt we became part of their family for life. I cannot thank her enough for Cooper. And I cannot anymore HIGHLY recommend this organization if you are looking to add a pet to your family.
Many, many thanks to Diandra, her husband and all the volunteers that they have that make up North of Boston Animal Rescue, Inc.

Having searched for and adopted dogs from other organizations, Steve and I found the process at NBAR to be far superior for both the dogs and the potential owners.
With the best match program, dogs and owners are matched expertly with the well being of the dogs as the priority.
The application process is very thorough. The communication is timely, easy and personal.
NBAR has excellent knowledge of the different dogs and their needs and uses a highly skilled team (vets, trainers even photographers).
Diandra is very empathetic person and very dedicated to her work.
Bella is truly an ideal match for us and we feel bless to have her as a member of our family.

Our family is over joyed to have been allowed to adopt a puppy in need of a caring home. The selection process can be nerve racking and waiting drives you crazy but We now understand just how much research goes into the selection process. Making sure the new adoptee will be safe, happy and loved unconditionally. We are happy to be the lucky family for Bentley out now 12 week old Maltese. He was white fluff ball looking for a new family. We arrived to his amazing foster home, a newly bathed and brushed fluffy bundle of white fur with a tail wagging like he was ready to fly. Paperwork and records were kept and explained to be sure there was no questions or concerns. Zoey our 1 yr old Jack Russell mix adopted locally last year was there for the big day. She was afraid of her own shadow never having a puppy following, smelling and just wanting to know everything but a couple hours and no objections from Her and being out voted 4 – 1 Bentley took the 3 hour ride adventure to Ct to his new home. Zoey and Bentley play like they have been family since day one. We could not have asked for a better place to have helped Bentley begin his life. Thank you for all you did for Bentley and our family!

I have had rescue dogs all my life and will attest to the fact the NBAR, Inc is by far the best. We have adopted 2 dogs through them. They are all about the animals. Our first dog, Jax was returned from his first adopted home because he was «aggressive» Diandra had him evaluated by 3 different trainers to assure he was not. And believe me he is anything but aggressive. More like 90lbs of marshmallow. He was completely housebroken, leash trained and knew most basic commands before we ever brought him home. Gemma, his «little» sister may not have ever met this rescue but it was coordinated by them and even though they never met the caring is still there. I could go on and on but will end by saying I hope not to have to use this rescue again for many years but when the time comes they will be my first call.
