Mugsy is a sweet, affectionate Boston Terrier who absolutely adores his humans. He bonds deeply and loves being close to the people he trusts. With the right guidance, he’ll be a loyal, loving companion who thrives on routine and reassurance.

His Personality

• Loving and people‑oriented

• Sensitive and a bit insecure at times

• Wants to do the right thing but needs clear, confident leadership

What He’s Working On

Mugsy has some anxiety around people leaving the home. He will go into his crate willingly, but once the door begins to close, he becomes stressed and uncomfortable. His fosters are actively working on helping him feel safer and more confident during these moments.

His Ideal Home

Because Mugsy’s play style can be a little rough and he can get overstimulated, we believe he may do best as the only dog in the home. A calm, structured environment with someone who can provide consistent leadership and positive reinforcement will help him feel secure and continue to grow. 4/21/26 10:03 PM
