About Autumn

Autumn is a gentle Boston Terrier looking for a patient, understanding home. Coming from a puppy mill/hoarding situation, she will need extra time to adjust to a new environment. While she’s lived with other dogs, Autumn hasn't socialized much with people yet, which may make basic activities like walking on a leash or going through doorways a bit challenging for her. She tends to feel nervous around new people and loud noises, so a calm, slow approach will help her feel secure. It's crucial that her new home already has another dog who can help show her the ropes. For her safety, she requires a martingale collar, which is available at the shelter's retail store. If there are children aged nine and younger in the household, a meet-and-greet will be necessary. Autumn is ready to learn and grow with someone who is willing to invest time in her journey. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
