My story

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

Name Boston, age: 2 Years Old, breed: Boxer Mix

Likes: Liver treats, going for walks, sniffing out adventure!

Dislikes: Being introduced to several people at once

What would be the ideal home? An active home with a fenced in yard. He loves to sniff, and he will follow his nose anywhere! He would be a great dog to bring for a run!

Good with other cats: Unknown

Good with dogs: May possibly live with dog same size and activity level

Good with children: No kids under 14 years old is recommended due to nervousness

Temperament: Friendly, but may be shy to start, active, happy boy!

Motivators: High value items

Any commands: Unknown

House trained: Unknown

Crate trained: No, could benefit from slowly introducing to the crate as he has separation anxiety

How long will it take to settle into a new environment: A few weeks. We recommend looking into the 3-3-3 Rule to help understand what to expect as he adjusts to his new environment and family. Anxious for the first few days but will settle down within a couple of weeks in his new environment.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Boston has separation anxiety, this requires patience and understanding from potential adopters. Separation anxiety may persist lifelong but may be successfully managed or minimized with appropriate behavior modification therapy. Relapses are common when routines are disrupted by vacations, moving to a new home or variations in the family’s school or work schedules.

Medical: On anxiety medication, Satiety diet
