Description
Dog Breed: Boston Terrier (short coat). Meet Stellaluna! Stellaluna is an almost 3-year-old Boston Terrier who weighs between 15–20 pounds. She came to rescue after being surrendered when her final litter found their homes. Now, Stellaluna is getting the chance to be loved simply for being her. This sweet girl is extremely shy and submissive. She may flinch when a hand reaches out, but she is beginning to learn that humans can be kind. She is your best friend and seeks affection once she’s comfortable. She also loves children! She is crate trained and is currently working on her house training. Stellaluna is also just starting to learn how to “dog” — testing out toys/bones and learning confidence by watching and interacting with other dogs. She’s coexisting well with dogs of all sizes and genders and has done fine with cats.

Breed overview
Boston Terrier
A.K.A.: American Gentleman, Boston Bulldog, Roundheads, Little Blue Boys, Tuxedo Terrier
Overview:
The Boston Terrier, affectionately known as the "American Gentleman," originated in the late 19th century in Boston, Massachusetts, making it one of the few breeds developed in the U.S. Physically, they are compact and muscular, typically weighing between 12 and 25 pounds, with a distinctive "tuxedo" coat pattern—black or brindle with white markings on the muzzle, chest, and often a blaze between the eyes. Their expressive, round eyes and erect, bat-like ears are hallmark features. Temperamentally, Boston Terriers are friendly, intelligent, and lively, known for their charming personalities and unwavering loyalty. They adapt well to various living situations, making them excellent companions for both families with children and individuals in apartments, as long as they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Regarding health, they are a brachycephalic (short-nosed) breed, so care must be taken in hot weather to prevent overheating, and they can be prone to eye conditions and patellar luxation. Overall, their delightful nature and manageable size make them a beloved choice for many.
