Story
Meet Ian – Your Slightly Wonky, Totally Wonderful Adventure Buddy
If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain… Ian might just be your perfect match. This little Boston Terrier mix lives life full throttle—zooming through the yard like he’s racing in the Indy 500, making pit stops in imaginary swamps with Shrek, and embracing every muddy, joy-filled moment along the way (bonus points if you don’t mind getting a little dirty with him).
Ian is a young, playful pup with a heart as big as his personality. He came into rescue with a shattered hip that has since healed, leaving him with an adorable “wonky” gait. When he runs, his back leg sometimes flails out to the side—but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. If anything, it just makes him even more unforgettable.
Personality & Play Style:
Ian is a social, toy-loving goofball who thrives on fun. He always has a toy in his mouth—seriously, always. He’ll take them outside, bring them back in, and politely “check” them at the door until you hand them back. He loves playing with other dogs, especially games of chase and keep-away.
After playtime, Ian enjoys winding down with his favorite toy and appreciates a little personal space during his chill time. Because of this, he’d do best with a laid-back, respectful dog companion—especially one around his size or slightly smaller who won’t bother him when he’s relaxing.
Snuggles Included:
Once the zoomies are out, Ian is all about couch time. He’ll curl up beside you, toy in tow, and drift off while you watch TV. The perfect mix of playful and snuggly.
Communication Style (aka his signature move):
Ian has the best voice—a raspy, screechy, baby pterodactyl sound that he proudly uses to let you know when he’s ready to come out of his crate or needs a potty break. It’s hilarious, endearing, and very effective. He’ll also quietly go sit by the door, so keep an eye out—he’s a good boy who just needs you to notice his polite signals.
Mealtime & Care:
Ian is an enthusiastic foodie, so he uses a slow feeder bowl to keep mealtime safe and comfortable.
Medical Transparency:
Due to his past injury, Ian has diabetes insipidus. The good news:
• No injections required
• Managed with oral medication twice daily
• Just needs a few extra potty breaks
His condition is well-managed, and he’s living a happy, active, zoomie-filled life.
The Perfect Home for Ian:
• An active home that enjoys play, laughter, and a little chaos
• A consistent adopter who can manage his simple medical routine
• A respectful dog companion—or he’d love being your one and only
• Someone who appreciates a quirky, lovable personality
Ian isn’t just a dog—he’s an experience. He’ll make you laugh daily, keep life interesting, and then curl up next to you like he’s always belonged there.
