About Boston

Meet Boston! Boston is around a year old and weighs about 40 pounds. He’s a sweet, cuddly character who loves to run, play, and then come back for all the love he can get. After overcoming a tough experience where he was hit by a car and broke his leg, Boston has bounced back wonderfully and is now ready to enjoy being a playful young dog. He gets along well with other dogs after proper introductions, and he's great with kids too. Boston is crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained—definitely a quick learner. However, he sees cats as a bit too much like tiny moving chase toys, so a cat-free home is best for him. Boston still has some puppy habits, like mistaking certain items for chew toys, but he's eager to learn. He’s affectionate, goofy, and thrives on being part of the action with his family. He’s searching for a home that will provide him with plenty of playtime, patience, and cuddles, helping him become the amazing dog he's destined to be. Click apply to start the adoption process.
