My story

Truman is a 2 year old Boston Terrier that weighs about 28lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Truman is just like his name; he is a true gentleman.  He is playful, joyful, and eager to please.  His past is less known and more of a guess.  He was found in a Walmart parking lot and was skin and bones.  Since then, he has gained as much confidence in himself and others as he has physical weight.    His favorite pastimes are chasing balls, chewing on Benebones and bully sticks, being in social settings, long walks, and tug of war.   He loves to cuddle and snuggle underneath blankets.  He will hide under furniture when he needs to feel safe or is overstimulated. Things to know about Truman in order to match him with the right forever home is that he needs to go to a quiet home.  That means a home with no young children, and no excessively barking dogs.  He does have some food aggression when it comes to treats.  He won't bite if you try to take it away, but he will growl and won't let go.  This may be because for a while he didn't know when or if he would eat again, and because he has a very high prey drive.  Truman is also an escape artist, so in his next home he will need safeguards in place to make sure this does not happen, such as a fenced in yard or the use of baby gates. In short, Truman is a very special dog.  He is one of my favorite fosters.  He deserves a loving and affectionate home, and a life of love and joy with people that he should have had from the start. If you would like to give Truman his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $375. He is being fostered in Brevard, NC. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.  For a complete listing of all of our available Bostons, or to learn more about SCBTR, please visit our website at www.southerncrossbtr.com. Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/southerncrossbtr or Instagram @scbtr. Thank you for choosing rescue and for considering Southern Cross for your next furbaby.  ** IF THIS AD IS STILL ACTIVE, THEN THIS PET IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ** ##2534427##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Truman, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
