Pickles in IA's Story

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/>Eligible for the Golden Paws Program (adoptors 60 yrs and older adopting a dog 7 yrs and older get $50 off the adoption fee noted below) <br/><br/>My name is Pickles. I am 7 years old and weigh 19 pounds. I need a new home because I am a breeder release. I am being fostered in Des Moines, IA. <br/> <br/>My forever home needs to be patient and understanding as I am still learning how to dog and that I can be timid and scared at first, but do warm up with time. <br/><br/>I would love another confident, friendly dog in my home to continue learning from, but would also be okay as an only dog. I get along great with other dogs of all sizes<br/><br/>I am learning all about toys, bones and treats! <br/>I don’t jump up on furniture and prefer curling up in a cozy dog bed on the floor near you, especially if it’s in front of a space heater. <br/>I like my crate and view it as my safe space. <br/>As I get more comfortable, my silly side is starting to come out. I have learned how to go up and down the few stairs outside to the backyard and love exploring. <br/>I would love a calm, patient home with a fenced-in backyard. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key companion, I’m your guy! <br/>I’m a loveable, sweet boy that is looking for a second chance at life and will make the perfect companion for someone.<br/><br/>Here's a little more about me:<br/>Housetrained? Yes. but have marked my territory.<br/>Leash-trained? Yes, but prefer nature trails away from noisy car traffic. <br/>Rides well in car? Yes. <br/>Good with other dogs? Yes, I love them and look to them for guidance and confidence<br/>Good with cats? Not yet tested<br/>Good with young children? Prefer a low active household<br/>Good with strangers? Yes, but can be a bit shy at first<br/>Shy or confident? Shy, but gaining confidence daily <br/>Barks? Sometimes - I’ve started to find my voice and have a deep, raspy bark, but am not overly vocal. <br/>Apartment qualified? No<br/>Any Special needs or Health Issues? I do not have many teeth so my dry kibble is softened with warm water <br/>Adoption Fee? $325<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.
