About Boston

Meet Boston, a charming 14-month-old Lab mix hailing from Texas. After being rescued from a troubled situation, he's bounced back beautifully and is now ready to find his forever home. Boston weighs around 45 lbs and has a short coat in shades of brown and tan. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and while he's fully healed from a past leg injury, he may occasionally limp if he's had a long day of play. This sweet boy has a playful spirit and adores people. He might be a little shy initially, but with proper introductions, he gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves children too. Boston enjoys playtime and has a knack for sharing kisses. He’s affectionate, a bit of a velcro dog who likes to stay close, and settles down quickly when left alone in a crate. He’s eager to please, making him the perfect candidate for training. He's doing well with housebreaking and loves his walks. If you're looking for a loving companion, Boston is waiting for you!
