About dogs named Boston

• “Hello, my name is Boston. I'm a little shy but once I get to know you, you will be my best friend. I like treats, playing with my toys, especially my squeaky toys and I love to hog the bed. I might be small but I think I'm a big dog because of my brother. I also love my mom and dad but mom more.“

  — Jeremy T.

• “I am very loving and can also be very hyper. I am great with kids and humans, not great with other dogs. I have lots of energy and love running-I just need a place to do it alone and away from other doggies. I was adopted by my new family last November and they love me very much!“

  — Adrianne Q.

• “I am a sweet senior husky (almost 11) who loves to play! I am fully vaccinated and do love hanging with dogs that are around my size or smaller. I tag along on a number of errands and am well socialized. I love coffee shops that give me treats :)“

  — Emma S.

• “Hi my name is Boston. I am a rescue from Aruba, I am called a Cunucu and I was attacked at a dog park when I was younger and now I don't like other dogs. I sometimes don't like people either. I am insecure in new situations and unfortunately I also have allergies that can make me itchy. My mommy and daddy take good care of me and I am okay when I see the vet as long as I see no other dogs.“

  — Jennifer D.

• “I’m Boston 🐶 and play is my love language! I’m quite well behaved, love to snuggle with my family and listen to my mom and dad most of the time. I’m not very comfortable around some other dogs or small children…they both seem unpredictable and it makes me nervous. When I’m nervous, I bark a lot and put on a pretty big show, but would actually prefer to get the heck outta there. My mom and dad do their best to support and redirect me and let me know this is not necessary behaviour, but sometimes I forget I’m supposed to listen to them. I also do dogs sports regularly and mom thinks I’m pretty big deal when I’m putting my nose to work.“

  — Deanna I.

• “I am a 7 year old golden retriever with a sugar face and a lot of energy. I LOVE fetch! I used to have a backyard for fetch but when mom and dad moved to Arizona…. I no longer have one. I love food-literally anything that is edible. What I love most of all is cuddling with mom and dad.“

  — Alice Z.

• “I am a cute bundle of sass. I mostly only love my mama. I will be friendly for treats, but please don't try to pet me or pick me up cause I bite! I just am too cute to trust just anyone, Love Boston, the Diva“

  — Fara Kelly C.

• “I’m a 4 year old goblin who enjoys chaos and not listening. I love exploring and getting into mischief. I’m a rescue with a “checkered past” so my parents spoil me and I think that is appropriate!“

  — Stephanie P.

• “I am adorable and love to play catch. My people take me everywhere with them exploring hotels in the mountains . They feed me chicken and dad let's me bring his drone back cause he can't fly it. Mom loves to make funny chicken noises when I don't eat. They love me and dad sometimes thinks I'm human lol. Best of all I am loved and have a cat friend my brother Stevie nicks. My favorite toy is a shovel and I love the water“

  — Robert B.

• “Boston is a beautiful, smart girl! Rescued from a not so great situation, she does have reactivity issues.“

  — Darby T.

• “I am a 1.5 your old golden doodle with more energy than my parents know what to do with. I love play and LOVVVEEEE food. I also love meeting people.. a LOT.. almost always in their faces!“

  — Rajasi A.

• “Boston is an 8 year old boxer who is very energetic and outgoing. He is a big baby who’s nervous about everything. He’s very sweet but doesn’t realize his size.“

  — brody X.

• “Hey, I’m Boston! I’m a 2 year old rescue pittie. I’m still figuring out how to be friends with strangers and other dogs, but I love treats and toys and doing zoomies!“

  — Payton M.

• “Hey guys, I’m Boston. I was adopted by my mom shortly after I was found abandoned with my siblings outside. Since then, I have felt so much better. I get to play with (but my mom says irritate,) my brother every day and have made lots of friends. Swimming is my very favorite activity, but I love to fetch and play too!“

  — Kenzie M.

• “My name is Boston and I joined my family from the Humane Society in September 2021. I am an Australian Cattle Dog mix and my new mom picked me so I could go running with her. I love to run! I had a hard time finding my forever family. I was adopted two times previously and at my second temporary home I was hurt in ways I can't explain. It made me afraid of men, particular younger men. In my new family I'm learning that we don't let anyone abuse dogs and I am growing to love that rule around here! I'm getting better and better with teenage boys who come over to hang out with my human brother and sister. I've been to obedience training with mom and I'm really good at sit, stay, down, come, and speak when I'm in the house. I do forget when I'm outside and I'm especially distracted by other dogs. I want to play with them but mom and dad say I play too rough. I know I'll get better with some more practice which is why it will be good for us to practice outside manners at a sniff spot. Thank you for letting me come and play with my family!“
