GRAHAM - BOSTON TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Boston Terrier (short coat). Get out of the way and make room for Graham. The most entertaining, 10-pound, vintage American Gentleman you might have the opportunity to meet. A few weeks ago, social media was all a buzz. Everyone was advocating to save the senior Boston Terrier that was at the Downey Shelter. Our Rescue Director rushed to LA to pull the frail old guy and get him vetted and into a foster home. Well… to all of our amazement – the skinny, 12-year-old BT, the shelter named Graham is full of life, curiosity and agility. While it is obvious, he needs to gain a few pounds, this guy eats like a champ and has more energy than dogs half his age. Constantly on the go and hard at work making sure things are as they should be. Graham is the self-appointed “Supervisor” of everything his foster mom does. If she opens a closet door, he is going in to make sure everything is organized to his liking. If you open a cabinet, he is going to scale the shelves to make sure they are up to code. Do you need help with household chore? This guy is right there checking out the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. He believes in efficiency and getting things done. His Foster Dad is trying to teach this old dog new tricks. Graham will use the doggie door to go outside but sometimes he will come back inside and potty. Very much a work in progress. Leash walking seems totally foreign to him. He will just “refuse” to walk. Not really a big deal because he is so small, there is no problem just carrying him around. In fact, he would love if you just carried him around all day long. He LOVES people and is great with other dogs. He lives with several other dogs and gets along with all of them. When in the car he prefers to ride in your lap. Many times, when we bring senior dogs into rescue they just stay with their initial foster because we know their time is limited. That truly is not the case with Graham. He is ready to take on the world. Graham is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and fecal and heartworm tested (both negative). We have been putting a nonprescription eye lube into his eyes a couple times a day just to keep him comfortable. His vision might not be 100% but he sees well enough to navigate wherever he might want to go. If you are looking for a dog to keep you laughing and put a smile on the faces of everyone the 2 of you come into contact with – then Graham is the guy for you.
