Story
Hi, I'm Boston! I'm an 11-lb poodle and I'm just ten months old. If we were meeting in person, right now I'd be greeting you with happy wiggles and immediately offering my belly for scratches. Once I warm up to you, I am incredibly loyal and I will always stick by your side.
Favorite Things: Bouncy Boston still has his puppy energy, so he absolutely loves running around, playing with toys, and sniffing everything outdoors. Boston also loves mealtime (as well as dried chicken treats and peanut butter Kongs in between meals).
Training & Manners: He may be relatively young pup, but Boston is a smart cookie! He already knows some basic commands and responds to his name well. He can be a bit shy when arriving in a new place, but once he is settled in, he can sleep in the people bed. He also naps throughout the day and enjoys a consistent routine. Like many young dogs, he occasionally tries to test boundaries as he grows more confident and he does sometimes pull on the leash, but this can be resolved with more practice leash-walking. He is housetrained, but he does drink a lot of water and should be let out at least every four hours.
Health & Care: Boston is a healthy boy! He is neutered, heartworm-negative, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He needs adopters in the central Florida region who will commit to taking him to his neuter: this appointment has already been made and the cost is covered in his adoption donation. Other than that, he will just need monthly flea and heart preventatives, like any dog. As a Poodle, he will need regular brushing plus professional grooming about every 6-8 weeks.
Other Animals: Boston enjoys playing with other dogs, both big and small. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he would be OK with them.
Children: Boston is wonderful with children. He’s gentle, respectful, and loves greeting them.
Ideal Home: Given his love of running and playing, a home with a yard would be ideal for him, but he could do well in an apartment if his adopter is committed to giving him one or two solid walks a day.
Overall: According to Boston's foster, he is "truly one of the best dogs I’ve ever fostered, and honestly, one of the best dogs I’ve ever met" who deserves a family who can give him plenty of love, structure, and attention.
Don't let Boston "slip away"! If It's "more than a feeling", visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $650.
