Boston Terrier puppies and dogs in Washington

Some dogs have personalities that are impossible to put into words... until you meet Thor Goodwin. He's the kind of dog that somehow manages to make every day feel a little happier just by being himself. Whether he's bouncing around with excitement because someone picked up a tennis ball, proudly showing off his latest game of fetch, or simply greeting you with his goofy grin and wagging tail, Thor has a way of making everyone around him smile. He's joyful, funny, endlessly entertaining, and genuinely seems to believe that every single day is the best day ever. If you're looking for a dog that brings laughter, adventure, and plenty of personality wherever he goes, Thor is ready for the job. Watch his video and prepare to fall in love with this happy-go-lucky goofball: https://youtu.be/UXNXVX_W_Os?si=jWoURWLMyvEhd96d Thor is approximately 2 years old, currently weighs around 29 lbs, and we believe he may be a Boston Terrier mix. As with any rescue dog, breed is always a bit of a mystery, but one thing we know for sure is that Thor is 100% awesome. Thor is currently being fostered with a family that has both a 3-year-old and a 13-year-old, and it's safe to say he bounced right into that “family” dynamic seamlessly. In fact, he and the 13-year-old are practically attached at the hip. Whether they're outside playing fetch, tossing toys around the backyard, or simply hanging out together, they're almost always side by side. His foster truly believes he'd make an incredible family dog, and after spending time with him, it's easy to understand why. One of Thor's favorite things in the world is playing fetch. Throw a ball once, and you've officially made his day. He's also a toy enthusiast and loves any excuse to play. When playtime is over, though, he's perfectly content hanging out nearby with his people. He's affectionate without being overly clingy. Don't expect him to climb into your lap for hours at a time, but don't be surprised if he chooses the spot right beside you instead. Sometimes even close enough that your feet are touching. It's his quiet way of saying, "I'm happiest just being with you." If treats are involved, Thor is even more motivated. He's eager to please, already knows how to sit, and seems genuinely excited to learn. His foster says he'd do just about anything for a good snack, which makes training both fun and rewarding. Around the house, Thor has been a wonderful guest. While he doesn't use a crate in his foster home, he relaxes comfortably in the laundry room whenever the family leaves and has done beautifully there. He hasn't had accidents indoors, doesn't make messes, and his foster laughs that she almost always comes home to find he's carefully arranged his blankets into the perfect little nest before settling in for a nap. Apparently, comfort is serious business. Thor also shares his foster home with an older male Pug. Since the Pug isn't particularly interested in playing, the two mostly coexist peacefully and enjoy each other's company. If you'd like to learn more about how Thor might do with your dog, we're always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with a dog similar to yours. Like any young dog, Thor is still polishing a few things. He gets so excited to see people that he sometimes jumps up to say hello, and when he's feeling especially playful, he can be a little mouthy with adults and the 13-year-old. Interestingly, his foster says he's incredibly gentle with the family's 3-year-old and seems to naturally understand that little humans require a softer approach. With continued consistency and positive reinforcement, we think he'll continue maturing into an exceptional companion. Thor would thrive with a family that's looking for a dog who knows how to make the most out of life. He's playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being needy, and has the kind of joyful personality that's impossible not to love. If you've been searching for a best friend who will happily play fetch in the backyard, make you laugh on a daily basis, and remind you to find joy in the little things, Thor is more than ready to become part of your family. We are willing to test Thor Goodwin with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

**Hazel, a small mixed-breed female ** Hazel and her daughter Lily were taken out of a crowded shelter so that they would not be put down. Hazel is a mixed breed, and we believe that mix containes Boston terrier, dachshund and Jack Russell. The two girls had arrived in a weak and very tired condition due to the traumas they had gone through. Hazel is about three years old and, although her early life has been difficult, she enjoys attention and being loved. While Hazel has shown remarkable resilience, she can sometimes be cautious in new situations and may need a little extra reassurance at first. She is lively while remaining calm. She is intelligent and would like to know what you are saying to her. Hazel is a dog who would readily learn to use talking buttons and frequently communicate with you. She enjoys being spoken to and listens carefully, as if she understands every word. With patience, she performs well and is eager to learn. Hazel also has a fondness for her squeaky toys. Since she has a strong prey drive, she should live in a home without cats or small animals.                                           Hazel is able to walk on a lead and picks up the trick quickly. Hazel would do best as the only dog in the home or with her daughter Lily, whom she absolutely adores. She may be cautious with unfamiliar dogs due to her past experiences. She is gentle and affectionate with people and is suitable for homes with older children who respect her space. Hazel is a cuddly dog and enjoys going under the blankets to be near you at night. It's likely that someone once loved her, since she is social, well-behaved, and affectionate toward people. Because Hazel has been attacked by dogs in the past, she is careful about whom she befriends. When meeting unfamiliar dogs, Hazel can be cautious and may initially keep her distance. She appreciates slow, gentle introductions and tends to do best with calm dogs who respect her space. Over time and with patience, she can warm up and feel more comfortable around friendly dogs. Hazel loves her daughter Lily. If you are looking for two dogs, they get along very well together. Hazel's adoption fee is $450.00. They have a bonded pair adoption fee of only $595.00 to encourage an adopter to keep the girls together. She has had her vaccinations up to date, is fed human-grade dog food appropriate for dogs, and is in good health. Hazel is scheduled to be spayed before she goes to her new home, and we will ensure the appointment is completed as part of the adoption process. If you would like to adopt this nice girl, please complete an application on our website at www.smallpupsrescue.org. Once we receive your application, a member of our staff will contact you within 2-3 days to discuss Hazel and answer any questions you may have. Next, we will arrange a virtual or face-to-face home visit within a week to ensure it is a good match for both you and Hazel. After a successful home visit, we will notify you within 2 days so you can move forward with the adoption. At this stage, we will help you complete the final paperwork and arrange a convenient day for Hazel to join your family, usually within a week of approval. Our goal is to make the process smooth and supportive, typically taking between 1-2 weeks from application to adoption. Thank you for considering giving Hazel a loving home. August 26, 2026, 3:11 pm

King is amazing. All shots neutered microchipped. Completely house broken. Very shy. Won’t ever be a guard dog. Afraid of most things. No bark. Most well behaved dog I’ve ever met. No reaction at all to cats. I’m sure he’s missing his prior dog companion. Does excellent in the car and on a leash. I sold my house. Have till August 31 to get out. Can’t take him with me. A foster or new home would be wonderful. He comes with his bed leash food and treats. No fee.

Hi! I’m Rosie! I’m 9 years old and weigh 21lbs. Everyone who meets me says I’m a total sweetheart, and I’ll make you smile all day long! I get along great with other dogs, and am highly social - as long as the dogs are well socialized, we will get along great! Cats and kids, though, are not for me. I’ve never been around either and they make me nervous, so I want to chase them down! Not a good situation for any of us! But I really, really love people. I love to snuggle on the couch or in bed just as much as I love taking walks. I currently walk two times a day with my foster family for 1-1.5 miles each time. I would LOVE to be your walking buddy. I’m also a super smart girl, which can get me in a little trouble! I can open my crate by myself, and now my mom has to use an extra latch to keep me safe in there. I can open doors and gates, so I’m what the rescue calls a “high flight risk,” I just love mischief! But it could be unsafe for me to get out, so it’s important that I be kept safe and secure and that my family is very mindful of this. I’m house trained and mostly crate trained. Like I said, I can get out of my crate, but I can also be trusted to be left out in the house for short periods of time. I’d do best with someone who works from home so I can be near them all day. Plus then we can take walks when they need a break! Here's a little more about me: Housetrained? Yes Leash-trained? Yes Rides well in a car? Yes Good with other dogs? Yes Good with cats? No Good with young children? No Good with strangers? Yes Shy or confident? Confident Apartment Friendly? No, I like to have time outside in my yard in addition to my walks.

Sweet Titus came into rescue as his family could no longer care for him. They had him since a puppy. As far as seniors go he’s healthy and continues to be an active Boston Terrier . Enjoys walks, playing in the yard and being your wingman on a road trip! In between would love to snuggle with you on the couch and maybe even sleep in your bed! House trained, crate trained. But would be happiest in a home where his person works from home or is an active retiree. He is fine with other dogs, has lived with 2 large dogs and 2 Bostons- required proper intro as he can be shy and nervous at first. Older respectful children would be fine, a calm environment is best. Fenced yard as he loves roaming the yard, soaking up the sun and playing. A flight risk as he will slip out the door given the chance. Must be mindful of his safety . He’s an all around good boy who is so deserving of a loving family♥️ Is it you?
