“Boston Terrier Tee Off” Golf Tournament to Benefit Boston Terrier Rescue Organization

Wanted: Golfers who want to make a difference!

Why not have fun playing golf, take a day off work, and help out America’s first dog breed,

the Boston Terrier? Friday, October 7, 2011, The Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee

will host their first annual tournament at Collins Hill Golf Club in Lawrenceville, GA, referred to

as “one of Georgia’s best kept golf secrets.” The tournament is open to golfers at all skill levels

and is scramble format. Several adorable and adoptable Bostons will be on hand with free licks

of thanks for the golfers’ support. The fun begins at 12 noon with lunch, which is included in the

$80 entry fee, and a silent auction featuring donated items from local businesses. Donations of

cash or items for auction are still needed and greatly appreciated.

“This is the first benefit golf tournament for our organization,” said event coordinator Renee

Ussery, “and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Collins Hill Golf Club for a fun event, while

raising funds for dogs in need.”

The economy has definitely had a negative affect on a number of animals in this country. There

are increasing numbers of homeless, abandoned, and euthanized animals as a result of job loss

and home foreclosures. Volunteers with BTRET work with shelters and organizations around

the southeast to locate and rescue dogs who are then placed in foster homes. While living with

compassionate volunteers, the dogs are cleared of medical issues and prepared for adoption.

The Boston Terrier is recognized as the first American breed by the AKC in 1893. Protecting

these dogs is the primary mission of BTRET, the largest Boston Terrier rescue organization in

the southeast. A 501(c)(3) organization based in Maryville, TN, Boston Terrier Rescue of East

Tennessee has a strong presence in the Atlanta metro area with many adoptable dogs fostered

in the region.

Kass and Bush have already lost their home, barn, and one of their horses to the devastating storms, but they are determined to not lose Cajun. “They made the decision, after having lost everything,” says Karen Walker, Kass’s sister, “that if there was any chance to save [Cajun], they would.”

Cajun had an 8-inch piece of wood embedded in his rear leg that had to be removed on site with minimal medical equipment. After Boston Animal Rescue League transported him to Tufts, further chunks of wood and debris were discovered and have required multiple surgeries to safely remove.

Moved by the horse’s story and his family’s dedication, Bay State Equine Rescue decided to allocate 50% of the golf proceeds and present specialty auction items towards Cajun’s medical costs.
