Spot (Male) is a Boston terrier mix puppies DOB 7/1/10. They are marvelous little dogs. Easy to care for. Boston terriers are great with children and for the elderly. If you would like, we can place one on hold for you -  there is no obligation to adopt nor any cost for a hold.  Please send me your phone # for the hold.  Our adoption manager Aileen will then call and talk with you about the adoption. You can then meet Spot at our weekly adoption fair at the Colorado Springs North Academy Blvd. PetsMart store on Saturday (8/28/10) at 10:45am.  The store is on North Academy Blvd just off the I-25, exit 150 (the store is on the right 4 blocks south of the I-25 exit - 7680 N. Academy). We have been adopting through PetsMart and meeting their high customer standards for 8 years now. Fri, Sat & Sun, Sept. 10,11, and 12, we will be at the Aurora Petsmart at 7350 S. Gartrell Rd. If you live closer to San Luis CO which is in the San Luis Valley let me know our shelter is open by appointment. Boston terriers are compact dogs. They have big flat heads with no wrinkles, wide-set dark eyes, small erect ears, and a wide flat snout with an ample black nose. Their frame is boxy, with a nice muscular build, and a short stubby tail. The fur of a Boston is fine, short, and thin. The neck is slightly arched, leading down to a broad chest. Their face shows a lot of personality and intelligence. A Boston's limbs are straight and well pronounced, and close to the same size as his body. They are odor-free and rarely shed. Bostons are a very easy going dog and can adapt to almost any living condition. The city or country, apartment or mansion, but keep in mind they are inside dogs. They get along great with children, other dogs, cats, and other animals. They love to please you and will do anything to keep you happy. Nothing makes a better door bell than a Boston. As soon as there is a knock at the door most of them will come running and wagging their little stump tails to tell you about it. If you want a dog that will lay around with you all day, a Boston is your dog. If you want a dog to do agility with you, a Boston is your dog. They can and will do just about anything as long as you don't try to take them swimming. The temperament of a Boston is hard to describe. They are unlike any other breed there is. They are very loving, caring, wanting to please at all times. It takes a lot to make a Boston mad, but when they do get upset they walk away. They are very easy to train, they love to learn, and catch on very fast. They are quite sensitive to the tone of your voice, using a harsh tone will upset them and when they are upset their face shows it. Many Boston owners have said they make great watch dogs and only bark when they feel it's a must. Others say their females don't bark at all. They are great with kids, great for the elderly and friendly to strangers once they are sure the stranger is not going to harm their family. They are a very playful breed, very affectionate, and very much a part of the family, and very popular in the United States because of its excellent character. Although they love to please and are easy to train, house breaking can be a small problem. Over all a Boston is a gentle, alert, very intelligent, and well-mannered dog.
