My story

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

Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me!

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am enrolled in LIFT University and Waifs with Wisdom. LIFT University is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. Waifs with Wisdom is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I’m a little shy—slow and steady wins the race with me.
- Once I warm up, I`m a wiggly and affectionate goofball!
- I LOVE my squeaky toys and stuffies!
- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information.

My home needs are:
- I need a home without other dogs - I prefer having your attention all to myself!
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.
-Wayside recommends no apartments or shared living spaces for me. I like to use my voice when I am excited, and I am still learning to walk on leash!
- For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.

Hi there, my name is Boots!

I’m a two-year-old Terrier mix who is looking for a very special place to call my own. I’m a sweet, goofy guy with a big heart, though I’m a bit on the shy side when I first meet new people. Because the world can feel a little overwhelming to me sometimes, I’m currently enrolled in a wonderful training program called LIFT. It’s been amazing for me because it’s teaching me how to build my confidence and work on my impulse control. I actually really love the challenge of training. I’m a bright boy who loves learning new things, especially when there are some tasty treats involved!

Once I get to know you and feel safe, my true personality really shines through. I absolutely adore my toys and will happily show off my zoomie when I get excited! While I have plenty of energy for play, I also have a very sweet, mellow side. There’s nothing I love more than receiving gentle pets from my favorite humans or just curling up on the couch to hang out and relax after a busy day. I’
