Boston Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Waukesha, Wisconsin

Firecracker is a 6 yr old, 21#, red and white Boston Terrier. He spent the first 6 years in a puppy mill as a breeder. Even through all that he is a sweet, docile, gentle, fun little guy to be around. He's good with all the other dogs in his foster home, and while he hasn't met cats, he'd likely be fine. Any children in his home should be 6+ as he has limited experience with kids and jumps, but older kids should be fine - he loves all the people he's met and greets everyone with enthusiasm! Firecracker will also require a fenced yard.
Firecracker has a lot of nicknames! S.W. Firecracker, Wizzy, Smiley,Rusty and he responds to all! He loves to snuggle and be close to people. He will follow you everywhere. He loves chasing balls and playing tug with the rope toys. He empties the toy bins daily, and he also likes to just chill and get pets.
Firecracker's family also needs to be willing to continue working on his tendency to bolt out of the door and take measures to keep him safe while he learns to wait. A harness and a long lead is suggested at first, and/or extra gates around the door area. Leash training is a work in progress, and right now walks can be challenging as he pulls on the leash when he sees other dogs. Obedience training is suggested. Between the bolting and ongoing leash work, he will also need a fenced yard. He loves to run and chase squirrels with his new friends!
Firecracker does mark and is learning to potty outside.Potty training is ongoing, and a bellyband is suggested. Given his ongoing potty training, if you work outside the home he'll need a midday potty break at lunch or with a dog walker. He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate, but you also need to watch out for his tendency to steal interesting household items and hide them in his crate.
Firecracker is neutered and vaccinated, and his adoption fee is $400. Please see our website at www.wisconsinbostonterrierrescue.com for more information on the adoption process and a link to the application form. Please email wbtradoption@gmail.com with any questions.
