Story
Introducing Snaggle! 🐾😍 This 11 month old Boston Terrier mix is about 22 lbs of pure charm, and his adorable little underbite is guaranteed to steal your heart the second you meet him. It gives him the cutest snaggle-toothed smile and so much personality. Snaggle is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He loves a good game of fetch, but his favorite thing is being close to his people, especially when it’s time to curl up in bed and snuggle. He’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. He does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and he’s crate trained and doing well with house training. Snaggle is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home where he can be loved (and admired for that adorable underbite) every single day ❤️

Meet Pinky Grace, a delightful adult pup looking for a forever home. She is a recent mom and her pups have been adopted, and now it’s Pinky’s turn. We are thinking this sweet girl is a Boston Terrier mix. Known for her sweet and gentle nature, Pinky Grace embodies the spirit of friendship and playfulness. She's not only smart but also incredibly nurturing, making her an ideal family pet or a loyal companion for anyone seeking a loving friend. She is house trained and crate trained but could use some work on her leash skills and would like to join you for a walk for hike so she can get more practice. She is a smart girl and basic group training classes is recommended to help her learn commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! Her ability to connect with people and her endearing personality make her stand out. Pinky Grace deserves a forever home where she can share her limitless love and brighten your days with her joyful antics.

VINCE

Boston Terrier/Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo
CRANSTON, RI

Story
If you would like to apply to take VINCE home, click the link next to their picture, or Visit our website at Www.godogsgorescue.org and fill out an application! We look forward to hearing from you. Vince started life on a hoarder house and was a shy boy when he came to us, it took him a minute to work out that the world is ok outside of that house and it’s ok to trust. He’s come on in leaps and bounds, and has turned into a happy little boy in his new environment. Whilst we expect there to be a period of adjustment and some shyness he has shown us that he can do it. He’s very well socialised with other dogs. He might not be the best candidate for a super noisy home with young children. But that’s for his sake not theirs, he’s a sweetheart.

Diesel looks like a little tough fella but he’s not, he’s a big baby. After starting life in a hoarder house he’s now living free and enjoying being able to be a real dog. He has medium energy, and has got past his shyness, and whilst we expect there to be a period of adjustment going into a new home, he has shown us that he can absolutely do this and be a very happy and confident little guy.
