My story

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

Meet Blitzen!

Will Blitzen arrive in your home in time for Christmas??!! Well, he would most certainly enjoy being your canine companion if you are looking for a handsome boy with adorable ears and the perfect size and stature. He`s compact but not too small and he`s ready for any adventure you throw at him. At a year he still has some learning to do and will thrive in your home with long walks, playtime with people and other dogs and he will need you to teach him crate training and some impulse control. He has mastered the art of the automatic sit so most of the time if your feet stop moving and you look over at him he`ll be sitting down waiting to see what the next move is going to be. He enjoys delicious treats and lots of praise. This boy is an overall great dog and would love to be your new canine companion!

My friends describe me as: Friendly, sweet, adorable

Blitzen is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.

We require the following as part of the adoption process:
* Adopter must be 18 years of age or older
* Have a conversation with an ARL adoption counselor
* A photo of the cage your pet will live in, if adopting a small animal or bird

More about this shelter

Pets are family. This belief is at the heart of everything we do at the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

We are the first female-founded animal welfare organization in Massachusetts and are proud to carry on a legacy of kindness and compassion, helping more than 20,000 animals annually since 1899.

Recognized for our innovative, award-winning programs that go beyond sheltering, we address the root causes of the issues facing animals and the people who love them.

By partnering with communities, we help animals heal and thrive, keep pets and people together, and protect animals from harm.

Because there is no government funding for this important work, animals must rely on people like you to get the care they need, when they need it most, 365 days a year.
