Colby - Boston Terrier and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Pal's Place would love to introduce you to two of the sweetest, cutest, and most lovable little nuggets in town, looking for loving forever families. Swiss and Colby are precious lovebug littermates who were rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. They are currently in a loving foster home in Chicago, waiting to meet their forever families. Their mother is a purebred Boston Terrier; their father is unknown. The other half of their parentage may be unknown, but daddy produced some adorable little fellas! The brothers can be described as looking like jumbo-sized Boston Terriers or miniature Boxers! At 9.5 months, they weigh 35 pounds, and their expected adult size falls right between these two breeds. Fantastic medium-sized pups perfect for urban or suburban dwelling. Colby is a social butterfly and life of the party! He is always eager to meet new human and canine friends, with a giant smile and an abundance of butt wiggles. Like most puppies, he's energetic, playful, curious, and eager to explore the world around him. He'll thrive in an active household that can provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation throughout the day, plus the routine, guidance, and structure all developing puppies need to mature into the best adult dogs they can be. Colby loves toys, playing fetch, playing in water and chasing the hose & sprinkler on warm days, other dogs, and being close to his humans. He is crate trained and making excellent progress with his housebreaking when on a regular schedule. Colby has had a good start and a solid foundation but is still a young dog learning the ropes who just needs a little polishing work. Potential adopters should be willing and prepared to continue working with him on house training and basic manners. He's very clever, very food-motivated, engaging, and eager to please, which makes training sessions enjoyable and fun. Colby is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and started on monthly flea and heartworm. He's a healthy, happy fella ready to get out and explore the world and all it has to offer. All he's missing is a family to share his love with. Interested in meeting this cutie patootie? Colby is fostered in Chicago, and meetings are by appointment once an adoption application is submitted and approved. His adoption fee is $475 and helps to cover his neuter and medical care needed to prepare him for adoption.
