Due to unforeseen circumstances, Hope is back with us and looking for a new forever home. Her former mommy owned a bakery that she had to close, and now she does all her baking in her home. Health laws require that no animal be in a home where food is being made and sold. Thus, Hope finds herself in need of a fresh start. Can you give her that place?
Age: 7 years old
Weight: 32 pounds
Breed: Boston terrier/American Staffordshire terrier mix
Health: Excellent. She may have some allergies but taking allergy supplements and eating a fish-based diet has improved her symptoms
Demeanor: Affectionate, sweet, quiet/mellow, couch potato, confidently playful, curious, can be mischievous at times (monitoring or crating suggested at first)
Likes: People (has not been tested with children who live in a home full-time, but has been sweet and gentle to those who visited), not tested with cats, giving kisses and snuggling, sitting in laps, going for car rides and walks, sleeping in your bed, burrowing under blankets, chew/stuffless/stuffed toys
Dislikes: Sudden loud noises, however, she does well in large gatherings/parties, etc.
Manners: Housebroken, crate trained, leash trained. She knows verbal commands: sit, down, place, come, heel, kennel, break, and no
Fenced Yard Required: Preferred. If no fence, must be on leash at all times. Hope has a history of escaping fenced yards, but has done well with training
Tidbits: Who is the sweetest girl on the block? Hope! She loves the company of other dogs, napping in the sun and being with people. At the dog park, she loves to run around and say "hello" to all the humans and then take play breaks with other dogs (typical Boston behavior)! She is also happy to make friends, going on a hike with other people and dogs, being out and about, quietly hanging out at a restaurant or brewery or relaxing at home.
She enjoys cuddling with or near her people when she gets the chance. She's also affectionate and playful with other dogs. Although a fenced-in yard is recommended for her (a plus would be a 6-foot fence, but is not necessary), she should always be kept on leash if outside.
Hope is a doll who deserves to live a nice, peaceful life with her peeps. She is a good girl and easy to love. Won't you consider adopting her? Fill out an application to apply: https://btrnc.org/adoption/
