Our NEBTR Gold Bone Society was renamed the Ellen Thelin Gold Bone Society after our beloved webmaster, board member, volunteer and creator of the Gold Bone, Ellen Thelin, who died too soon on July 6, 2024.
Our heartfelt thanks to those special donors who have joined our “Gold Bone Society” with their gifts to NEBTR of $500.00 or more. It is people like you who enable us to help Boston Terriers in need, and who make our success stories possible.
All Gold Bone Society members will receive the beautiful pin pictured above. Sheryl Trent, NEBTR President writes, “Our Bostons and NEBTR are so grateful for the many supporters we have to continue our work, but there are some, like yourself, who consistently and generously make donations that we would like to honor. You are a member of our Gold Bone society and we hope you enjoy this pin and wear it with the pride with which we send it.”

Thanks to John Gagliardi
John A. Gagliardi was in the vet’s lobby when one of our fosters went in for an appointment. He struck up a conversation with the foster (Maria). This man, a stranger to us all, took the bill, a total of over $2,000 and paid it right then and there for NEBTR. Talk about amazing!
Thanks to BJ Capelli, Leslie Poprik, and Berklee
BJ Capelli and Leslie Poprik, a musician and teacher from Pennsylvania were $250,000 winners in the Wells Fargo What Makes A Home contest! Watch their winning entry here, featuring their Boston Terrier Berklee. They made a $3,000 donation to NEBTR from their winnings and we thank them so much for thinking of us.
We send our deepest sympathy to BJ Capelli and Leslie Poprik. They are not only fans of our page and huge supporters of our rescues, they are also winners of the Wells Fargo, “What Makes a Home” contest! And that’s not all – their now famous BT, Berklee, is one of the stars of the film and he plays the tambourine! Berklee donated his share of the winning prize money to NEBTR.
We have just learned of Berklee’s passing. He was a supporter as well as a donor to NEBTR. He was featured in a prize winning video attached here. Thank you for all the smiles you brought to NEBTR fosters and their families Berklee. You will not be forgotten by those you loved, and those you helped. RIP
