Hi, I’m Tubby — a 2½a€‘yeara€‘old, 19a€‘pound Boston Terrier boy with the zoomies of a popcorn kernel and the cuddle skills of a heated blanket. I’m friendly with everyone — people, dogs, probably even that neighbor who always waves too enthusiastically. I love to play hard in short bursts, and then I immediately transform into a sleepy little lap loaf. I’m gentle, affectionate, and very good at melting into your arms like warm butter. I don’t like loud noises or being yelled at — I’m a sensitive soul with big feelings and even bigger ears. But I’m also incredibly smart. I adapt to routines fast, and I watch what the other dogs do so I can copy them like the world’s cutest little intern. I’m trained with the doggy door, crate trained, and leash trained. I’ll happily hop into my crate to eat or sleep… but if you invite me into your bed, I will absolutely accept that invitation. I’m great with kids and would be a wonderful buddy for a senior, too. I am, in fact, an escape artist. A tiny Houdini. A foura€‘legged magician. I have managed to get through a fence even while wearing a cone. I require a very secure fence and supervision outside so I don’t go on unauthorized adventures. I’m good in the car, I love taking walks, and I absolutely adore water. If you turn on the hose, I will appear instantly like a watera€‘loving gremlin ready for splash time. I’d be thrilled to have a family that wants to cuddle, play, and laugh at my goofy antics. I’d also love a doggy friend to wrestle and nap with. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, watera€‘obsessed cuddle bug with a dash of escapea€‘artist flair, I’m your Tubby. My adoption fee is $450. AVAILABLE END OF MAY.

Adoption process

Upon approval of your adoption application, an Adoption Coordinator will contact you via email or telephone to match you/your family with one of our available Boston Terriers. Once a dog has been identified as a good match for the home, the foster home will contact you to schedule a time to meet the dog as well as conduct the home visit. If you pass the home visit and the meet and greet goes well (the dog is a good match for your home/family and any existing pets in the home) a 72-hour trial period will begin at that time. The foster will collect the signed adoption contract as well as the adoption fee prior to leaving. Once the 72-hour trial period has expired, the adoption will be finalized.

Shelter location

All of our Bostons are in foster homes. An application must be filled out and approved prior to meeting any of our dogs.
