About Weston Mckennie

Weston McKennie is a 12-week-old puppy who just made the long trip north from Mississippi. He’s full of energy, keen to explore, and eager to make new friends—whether they have two legs or four. Though house training and socialization are still works in progress, he’s picking things up quickly and seems to find comfort either curled up in blankets with his littermates or gleefully working on a chew toy. Weston brings an outgoing and curious nature and seems happiest surrounded by activity, snuggles, and attention. He gets along well with other dogs and people, showing a sweet and playful side every day. He will need some help adjusting to a home environment and learning the ropes, but the building blocks are already there. Weston is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and vetted. The rescue welcomes adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY, though state paperwork prevents same day adoptions. Visit Weston at the Animal Rescue League of Boston during their regular hours to meet him in person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
