Hi there! My name is Benji Bubba. I'm 8 yers old, a purebred black&white Boston Terrier and I weigh 21 lb. I am very sweet and love being around people and the four Boston girls in the house. I just follow the pack around the house and we all love running around outside. Speaking of outside, I love to run, so if you open any door to the outside, I'm taking off! I will eventually come back when you call me but it's best not to let me run in the first place. Foster dad says I'm getting better about this. We all lay out in the sun during the day and snuggle up on the couch when it gets too hot or too cold outside. I might be 8 years old, but I play and run like a puppy. I do very well on a leash and do not tug or pull. I also love car rides, but be careful, I have a habit of sitting on your lap and steering the wheel. So, keep me in a harness buckled up in the back seat. My foster parents have been working on my potty training and I'm doing well. We have a pet door we get to use when they are home. Dad also makes all of us go outside first thing in the morning, before he leaves for work, as soon as they get home and before bedtime. And I rarely have an accident now. Speaking of bedtime, I crawl underneath the covers in the human bed and I would sleep right next to you, but sometimes I sleep on the couch. I am learning basic skills like sit, come, and get down. I absolutely hate the crate and will fight you when you force me into it. If I am in the crate, expect me to howl and whine. When it comes to eating I jump at the food and will try to wedge my way to the other dog bowls.I don't snap, but I scarf down every morsel. My foster dad uses a feed mat to slow my eating. he is making me sit before he puts my food down, but I would rather jump up and start eating! I'm good playing with other pets, but my hair stands up when Hank, the neighborhood Labrador Retriever comes around. Sometimes I growl at him, but I bark a lot at big dogs.

It also prevents fleas, ticks and acts as a a heartworm preventative. If I'm adopted, the rescue would supply the medication needed for this protocol until I turn negative which is usually within a year. I started this treatment in December, 2025.
