My story

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

Wanna play a game? Guess what the best type of donut is.....that’s right, vanilla with sprinkles. Guess which city is the very best.....yup, Gainesville. Guess which baseball team is my favorite....the Gators. OH, and guess who the best doggy is? That’s right.....BOSTON! I’m an adorable lil dude who is just happy to be included. I think I was on my own for a little while before landing at ACAR, but the staff has been helping me build up my confidence and brain power with puzzles, and I’ve been making all kinds of discoveries. Did you know there are toys that you can put snacks in? Wild, I know. Did you know that other dogs aren’t that scary? I’m learning that right now. I’ve also learned that love is...amazing, and I’m soaking it all in. The staff tells me there is this thing called forever love, and that it could be mine some day! Maybe it’s with you? Let’s meet!
