Lacey is an almost 12 year old senior Boston with the energy of a much younger dog. She needs a forever foster (the rescue continues to cover medical expenses) or an adopter. You would never know her age by how playful she is. She’s very smart and has excellent hearing and eyesight. She loves to throw around her toys, lay in the sun on warm days and explore the back yard. She’s a very vocal dog and loves attention. She will give you her paw when she wants to be petted and bark at you when she’s ready to play. During the day she loves napping in her bed but would prefer to snuggle in bed under a blanket with you at night.

Crate Trained: Yes, she does not like being confined to a separate room away from you but is very calm in her crate.

Medical: Lacey has a heart condition and takes daily medication. She will occasionally cough or have dizzy spells if she gets over exerted but these have decreased significantly since she settled into her foster home and started taking medication. She has some allergies and itchiness but takes a daily probiotic that keeps it under control.
Likes/Dislikes
Toys: She loves tossing around her toys and will bark at you to play fetch
Other Animals: She does ok with other dogs but would do better as an only dog or with those who are submissive. She gets a bit jealous if she has to share toys or attention. She does not like other dogs getting close to her face. She is good with cats.
People/Kids: She will bark at new people but is friendly once she’s had time to adjust. Her former owners said she did not like being around small children.
Car Rides: Loves riding in the car
Separation: She does fine when left at home but does bark when you return.
