Boston Boston Terrier Mix Lenoir, NC

Boston's owner passed away and his family isn't able to keep him. He's looking for a loving fmaily for his senior years - no beans, please.

Boston's guesstimated birthday is in Aug. 2007. He weighs about 40 lb which is more than he should.

Boston is a sweet, affectionate guy. He is easy going and enjoys time outside with his peeps. He loves car rides and explores.

Boston is house-trained and leash-savvy, but will pull when excited. He has a benign tumor on his right armpit which doesn't seem to impede his mobility. The surrendering family said that it's been removed twice and returns. Our vet recommends it be left undisturbed unless it begins to bother him.

Do you have room on your couch for a senior that doesn't act like an old guy? He's overweight and, although he doesn't want to diet, needs someone to be firm with him about his calories.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
