If you're looking for an intelligent, playful, cute little dog BB has you covered. BB is good with children of all ages, both active or just wants to chill. She also loves to play with other dogs. When BB is done playing outdoors, she will be ready to climb into your lap and watch TV. What's not to love about that. BB is the perfect house guest and likes to meet new people. BB also likes to hike and is good in the car. BB does well in a crate but also has gone to school with her foster mom. No wonder she is a smart gal. BB is learning her potty and leash training. Early stages and doing great. BB would be a great addition to a loving family looking to add joy and cuteness into their lives.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
