Description:

Look at those eyes! Boston is a gorgeous 1-year-old tri-colored collie! Almost Home welcomed him and his friend Merri Lou and placed them in a foster home. Boston’s foster family describes him as cautious with new people and rather timid. They speculate he may have lived a pretty sheltered life in his first year, so he is often leery when experiencing so many new things. But this handsome guy is learning fast—he already knows how to sit, come and stop! Due to the summer heat, walking outside has been limited, but he walks well on a leash. New sounds still make him a bit uneasy, and he often prefers heading back to familiar ground. Fortunately, he’s improving every day, and Boston is easily motivated with treats and food.

Boston enjoys the company of Merri Lou and will happily play with her. When he meets new dogs, he barks at them from afar and is cautious. He has gained the trust of his foster mom and now follows her everywhere. She describes him as a total cuddlebug who just wants to be loved.

Boston is looking for a forever family that will be patient, keep working with him, and expose him to new situations. With time, trust and love, this sweet boy is sure to become a loyal, lifelong companion!
