About Boysenberry

Meet Boysenberry, an adorable puppy who’s part of the delightful "Berries" crew. At around 8 weeks old and roughly 3-4 lbs, he's a sweet mix of charm and fluff. Given his small size and herding instincts, he’s best suited for families with older, dog-savvy children aged 8 and above. Boysenberry is friendly with other dogs and loves people, making him a great companion. These little ones have come into rescue without their parents, so their breed or expected size once fully grown is a best guess. Training is recommended for all our dogs, including Boysenberry, to help him grow into a well-mannered buddy. More information about his personality will be available once he settles into foster care. We look forward to finding him the perfect forever home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
