What Makes Me So Special
Beatrix Potter is a female miniature Boston Terrier, approximately 11 years old. This little girl has a lot of energy for her age and loves both people and other pets. She is super-sweet, enjoying sitting in laps, cuddling on the couch, and taking a nap wherever her humans are. She would do best in a home with someone who is not away from home for extended periods of time (i.e. not more than a typical 8-hour work day), and having a fenced-in area would be best but not a must.
The Basics
Age: Approximately 11 Years Old
Weight: 8.5 lbs
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Microchipped: Yes
Vaccines Up-to-Date: Yes
On Heartworm Prevention: Yes
On Flea/Tick Prevention: Yes
House-Trained: Yes
Crate-Trained: Yes
Leash Skills: Does not seem to have had a lot of lease exposure in the past but is fine when on a lease. If she will be on a leash regularly, it may take a few days for her to get totally comfortable with it.
Medical: Right eye was removed November, 2024 due to advanced Glaucoma. Has a cataract in left eye, but does have some vision out of it and is on a daily maintenance drop (one drop, once a day) to help prevent that eye from getting worse and/or developing Glaucoma (she does well when getting her daily eye drop). She gets around well, only occasionally bumping into things, but learns her new spaces quickly. As a dog that is a little older, she is a little wobbly when standing or walking on a significant slope, but this appears to be age related versus any identifiable medical issues. Has some hearing loss, but not dramatic.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes to cuddle and snuggle up with you for a nap. Likes sleeping in the bed (though is fully crate trained and does well in the crate). Likes to be held. Enjoys exploring new areas. Dislikes when she can smell food and she doesn’t get any, likely due to her recent rescue from being on her own and not having access to much.
Toys: Has not shown much interest in toys, mainly due to her not being able to see them very well.
Other Animals: Excellent with dogs and cats.
People/Kids: Excellent with all types and ages of people.
Car Rides: Is a great car rider.
Separation: No separation issues.
