The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/>Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home<br/><br/>My name is Bruce. I am a 3.5 year old Boston Terrier, weighing 27 lbs. I was relinquished from a breeder and being fostered in Des Moines, Iowa!<br/><br/>I’ve been with my foster family for a few weeks and I’m settling in more every day! I’m discovering how fun toys, balls, and backyard playtime can be. I’m still learning what’s mine to chew on, so I’ll do best with a family who can continue guiding me as I build good habits.<br/><br/>I’m crate trained and stay in my crate when my family isn’t home, but I much prefer snuggling in bed with my humans and foster siblings at night! Since my foster parents work from home, I’d love a forever home where someone is around most of the time—I’m very people-oriented and happiest with company.<br/><br/>When I first arrived, I was a little unsure of people, but with the help of my foster dog siblings, I’ve really come out of my shell. Now I happily take treats and have fully embraced being a lap dog. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion, I’m your guy!<br/><br/>I currently live with three other dogs and love having them around, so I’d do best in a home with a canine friend to help me continue building confidence. I’m still learning the basics, but I’m very treat-motivated and pick things up quickly!<br/><br/>I’m happiest relaxing on the couch or being close to my humans and dog friends.<br/><br/>Here's a little more about me:<br/>Housetrained? In progress (doing great and loves the backyard!)<br/>Leash-trained? In progress <br/>Rides well in car? Yes<br/>Good with other dogs? Yes and would love a friend in my new home<br/>Good with cats? Not yet tested<br/>Good with young children? Would do best with older children <br/>Good with strangers? Friendly after a short warm-up<br/>Shy or confident? Shy at first but quickly warms up, especially if treats are involved<br/>Barks? No<br/>Apartment qualified? No - Still nervous about a leash, so would need a fenced in yard<br/>Any Special needs or Health Issues? None<br/>Adoption Fee? $450<br/><br/>The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at ''https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/><br/>All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped.

We do not accept invisible fencing.<br/><br/>MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.<br/><br/>If you are Interested in Adoption please complete our online adoption application at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application<br/><br/>Petfinder's form is NOT our application.
