My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

What’s your favorite thing about the city of Boston? Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox? Babe Ruth? Boston cream pie? How about Boston baked beans? Perhaps the Boston Tea Party? The unmistakable accent? While he may not actually have come from Boston, our pup Boston may be the current best thing bearing the city’s name! (Sorry Red Sox, you haven’t won the World Series since ‘18!)

Boston enjoyed a foster vacation and his foster family absolutely loved him, sharing:

“Boston is a quiet dog who is super good and gentle with kids. He’s good when left alone and house trained. He loves chew toys, is great on leash without pulling. He is friendly, sweet, calm, and gentle, and a cuddly couch potato.”

At the shelter Boston also has die-hard fans (much like the Red Sox) who love him- one shared the following:

“Boston is a total sweetheart! He was calm, he walked nicely on leash with minimal pulling, and he accepted pets happily.”

Boston has shared his kennel politely and has been playful and easygoing when meeting other dogs in the shelter. We hope that you`ll give Boston a chance to impress you- we think he’ll knock an introduction outta the park and you will hit a home run with this very good boy!
