In the shelter’s words

BIG BOY BOSTON IS READY TO FIND HIS FOREVER FAMILY! Okay, friends… we think it’s finally time to find our sweet, goofy foster boy, Big Boy Boston, his forever people. And honestly, writing about him is hard because there are approximately 47 stories we could tell you about this lovable goofball. Big Boy Boston is around 8 years old, 75 lbs, and a Lab mix… with some SERIOUSLY big genetics somewhere in that family tree. Great Dane? Great Pyrenees? Your guess is as good as ours! He’s tall, lanky, and completely adorable. A DNA test would definitely be fun! Despite his size, Big Boy Boston is convinced he belongs in your lap. He LOVES cuddling, prefers being the little spoon, and has never heard of “personal space.” Cheek-to-cheek is his preferred arrangement. If he’s not beside you, he’s probably watching you from across the room like you’re the most interesting thing in the world. Big Boy Boston is also just FUN. He loves playing with other dogs, showing off his zoomies, greeting his people like they’ve been gone for years, and going on adventures. Car rides? YES! Home Depot trips? Absolutely! Meeting new people? His favorite! He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids. And this boy is SMART. Maybe a little TOO smart. He’s technically crate trained… except he considers every crate a puzzle designed specifically for him. He has escaped every crate he’s been in. Houdini better watch his back! Big Boy Boston has a history of separation anxiety, but his foster family has worked incredibly hard with him, and he has made HUGE progress. He can now be left alone for several hours when other dogs are around. His ideal home would be one where his people aren’t gone for long stretches, OR where he has a confident canine friend (or two!) to keep him company. He’s about 90% potty trained, could stand to gain a few pounds, and has one VERY important dietary need: BIG BOY BOSTON IS ALLERGIC TO CHICKEN. His forever family MUST feed him a chicken-free diet. Most importantly, Big Boy Boston is a big, goofy, incredibly loving boy who simply wants to be part of his people’s lives. We’ve watched him grow in confidence and show us more and more of the amazing dog he is. We’re looking for the person who looks at this giant, lanky, crate-escaping, cheek-to-cheek cuddle monster and says: “Yep. That’s my dog.” Think Big Boy Boston might be your guy?
