My story

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

Meet Boston!

If you're looking for the constant company of a stage five clinger or the ever-present feeling of always being watched by eerily human-like eyeballs...Boston is your guy 👀

Boston is just a baby. Like, seven months old MAYBE. He's only about 9lbs. He's a tiny guy and the world is huge so he's understandably overwhelmed and doesn't understand a lot.

What he DOES understand is that he would prefer to be as close to you as possible. Inside your skin if at all possible, please and thank you.

He's definitely shy at first but once he's cool with you, his whole world revolves around you. He just wants to be in your lap all the time. He isn't particularly playful yet but we're imagining that will change once he gets comfortable since he is a puppy after all. He's super snuggly and he's decent on a leash but does need some typical puppy training.

Right now, he's scared of pretty much everything. This includes cats and other dogs. Cats he'll probably be fine with as long as the cat is dog-friendly and tolerant of a puppy that doesn't know the way of the world yet. With dogs, it may take some extra effort. He doesn't seem to have been socialized with other dogs at all so he has no idea how to interact with them and is very suspicious of their intentions. He may do best as the only dog. Kids 12+ for obvious reasons.
