He has gone out on field trips and he has been quiet while in the restaurant patio despite lots of dogs and some of them were quite noisy! He just looked their way and stayed calm and polite. If that sounds like your kind of dog, please come meet him!If you are interested in this specific animal, please come to the shelter for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30am to 5:30pm.

Story
Boston is a 5 year old and 75 pound dog looking for his forever home! He loves a good squeaky toy and he will lean into you for pets! His adoption fee has been fully sponsored by a loving fan. Boston is the type of guy who needs several dates to get to know you before showing his true personality. On his recent FURlough we learned that even though he is a big goofball he is rather gentle and polite! He LOVES to lay right on top of you and will fall asleep. He can often be found sunbathing, on the couch, or following his people from room to room!I have lived with dogs before and may do well with yours with a slow introduction!I have been around cats before, and may do well with yours!I haven`t lived with kids, but have been around them, and may do well with yours!If you are interested in this specific animal, please come to the shelter for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30am to 5:30pm. We recommend coming in as early as possible, as adoptions are first-come, first-served.
