Meet Boston!

Boston is a beautiful, charming 5 year old Alaskan mix who was rescued from the dog sledding industry in March, where he spent the first years of his life serving others, pulling tourists on sleds, and living on a 4 foot chain. He has now been in foster care for 165 days (as of September 5, 2024).

Despite his past, Boston continues to spread endless amounts of love to everybody that he meets.This affectionate boy adores his toys, and loves to spend his time sunbathing or going on long walks with his people. Though Boston’s curiosity can sometimes lead him astray on his leash, he is making great strides with his no-pull harness. With continued leash training, he’ll be a pro in no time at all! He is also fully potty trained, letting you know when he needs to go outside and do his business.

Boston gets along wonderfully with both dogs and humans, including small children, but he has not yet been tested around cats.

Boston has so much love to give, and he is an absolute sweetheart. He is looking for a family that will cherish him and patiently help him adjust to his know home while giving him the care that he needs and deserves. He may initially be nervous with a new home and new family, so a patient and supportive environment will be essential while he adjusts to his new surroundings. In the sled dog world, we call this “decompression.”

Boston is one of the last sled dogs from the March rescue to be adopted. Even after the life he lived for years, and having waited so long now for his forever home, he still manages to bring joy and laughter to everybody who meets him. His past no longer defines him, and he’s ready to retire with his people.

If you’re looking for an active, affectionate addition to the family, Boston may just be the perfect fit for you.

Boston is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and microchipped
