Our Amazing Team

My name is Megan Davis, and I am the Director, Foster, and Intake Coordinator for Black Tie! My passion for rescue runs deep, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping Boston Terriers (and others!) in need, giving a voice to the ones who can’t speak for themselves. Every dog deserves love, safety, and a second chance, and I’m honored to play a role in making that happen.

Rescue isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. My husband, our two kids, and I share our home with seven dogs and five cats, proving that the rescue spirit is alive and well in our family! Whether it’s finding the perfect forever home, rehabilitating a pup in need, or stepping in for urgent cases, I’m always ready to fight for the underdogs.

Hi! My name is Peggy and I serve as Treasurer. This involves tracking all financial transactions and coordinating accounting functions for the rescue. I am mom to Rascal, my very first Boston, and Patrick, BTBR alum! My start in rescue was in transport, taking pups to their foster home or to their new furever. It's a great way to get involved without a long-term commitment. That led me to being a short-term foster. Then I met Patrick and became his foster. I soon failed and adopted him! I continue to serve as a foster and in transport.

As Home Visit Coordinator, I am tasked with contacting applicants during the last step of their application processing to schedule a virtual home visit interview. I live in Simpsonville, SC with my husband and two Bostons, both BTBR rescues, Ollie and Bonnie.  We got our first Boston in 2001 and fell in love with these amazing dogs.  I love and support BTBR -  they do amazing work.  In my spare time, I love taking “puppy naps” and snuggling with my babies.    

As Recognition Resource, I write and send thank you notes to donors and other supporters of the rescue, as well as any other requested recognition coorespondence or publication. I am mom to Bostons Mavis, Ellis, and sanctuary foster, Chancey. In addition, I am an active transporter and foster.

I volunteer as Transport Rescource. This involves coordinating transport volunteers and logistics of moving dogs from surrender families to foster families, as well as from fosters to adoptive homes. I have been heavily involved in rescue work for the past 15 years, beginning when I started college at UNC Chapel Hill, so I have roots in the Raleigh-Durham rescue community. I am a therapist and clinical director for a therapy practice in the Asheville, NC area. During my spare time, I enjoy cuddling with my two rescue Boston Terriers, Scout and Sage, traveling, family time, and singing in a community choir.

I complete vet reference checks as part of the application approval process. This is to ensure applicants obtain proper medical care for their current and/or past pets. I also follow up with applicants when additional information is needed.

This is to ensure applicants have provided proper medical care to their current and/or past pets.  I guess you could say that dogs are my passion. I have literally had dogs in my life since I was about 12 years old. I can't remember ever not having a dog. I was a vet tech for about 6 years and a certified dog training (which I do very little of anymore). For about the last 35 years, I rescued Dobermans and began rescuing Bostons about 5 years ago. I found Black Tie Boston Rescue and, oh my goodness, that was everything. My wife, Marilynn, and I have traveled to several states to pick up dogs for transport, have fostered a few, and adopted 3 of those. We now have 5 Bostons. We are avid RVers, so sometimes a foster gets to go RVing with us, as we take our pack with us in the RV for long-distance trips. This is how we love life to the fullest!

I live in Jacksonville, FL with my husband and two children. We have two dogs and eight cats - all rescues. I have rescued animals my entire adult life and hope to add a Boston to my home in the future. In the meantime, I am helping the rescue by volunteering. In our spare time, my family loves going to Disney.

I am a proud parent of two BTBR pups, and have been a fan of these wonderful dogs for decades, loving to share all the wonderful, goofy things they do. In my "other life," I'm a realtor in sunny Jacksonville, FL, love cooking, eating, and the beach!
