About Boston

Meet Boston! This young shepherd mix is about a year old and weighs around 40 pounds, embodying the spirit of a playful puppy in a larger frame. Boston loves to run around, play, and soak up affection from everyone he meets. Despite a tough start, having been hit by a car and broken his leg, Boston has overcome those challenges and is now ready to enjoy life as a cheerful, normal dog. He gets along well with other dogs after proper introductions and is friendly with kids. Boston is already crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, making him a fantastic companion. However, he views cats as little chase toys, so a cat-free home would be best for him. Boston has some puppy habits, often mistaking everyday items for chew toys, but he’s eager to learn and just needs a patient owner to guide him. Always ready for fun and cuddles, Boston is looking for a family that will provide lots of love, playtime, and opportunities to grow into the wonderful dog he’s destined to be.
