About Pickles

Pickles is currently living in a foster home near Palatine, IL and is eager to meet new people. He's a small, adorable Boston Terrier mixed breed with energy that never seems to quit, complete with big expressive eyes and ears that practically stand up on their own. Pickles thrives on action and wants to be part of everything his people do, whether it's playing in the yard or lending a paw with house projects. Expect lots of kisses if he manages to get close enough—he’s not shy about sharing affection. He’s about 3 years old and blends high-spirited fun with occasional snuggle sessions on the couch. Pickles gets along with other dogs, especially those who are laid-back and comfortable letting him play leader, though supervision with toys and bones is recommended since sharing isn’t always his strength. He’s motivated on walks, a little curious about what he finds along the way, and appreciates having a yard for safe exploration. Pickles is house trained but does best with a routine to keep things on track. He prefers sleeping next to his people but settles in a crate when needed. Pickles is looking for a family ready to match his enthusiasm for life. Prospective adopters should live near the Chicagoland area. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
