My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Boston!

Joined us in: May 2025

About Boston:
• A happy, active boy who loves going for walks and sniffing out every new adventure
• Big fan of liver treats, learning new tricks, and burning off energy with outdoor zoomies
• Curious and enthusiastic, with a nose that loves to lead the way
• Friendly and cheerful, though he may be a little shy when first meeting new people

His perfect match:
• An active home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore and sniff
• A family who enjoys walks, runs, and outdoor activities — he’d make a great running buddy
• Can live with another dog of similar size and energy level; currently does very well with a canine companion
• An adopter who understands food motivation and can continue working on healthy habits

Some extra facts about Boston:
• Highly motivated by high-value treats, which makes him eager to learn
• Known to be a bit of a food scrounger, so management and consistency are important
• Currently on a satiety diet to help him feel full and supported
• With routine, exercise, and guidance, he thrives and shows off his joyful personality

In short:
Boston is a sweet, adventurous boy with a love for movement, learning, and sniffing the world around him. In an active home that can keep his mind and body busy, he’ll be a fun, loyal, and happy companion ready for every adventure.
