Meet Fenway: 7 months old, 20 pounds, Boston Terrier mix, professional fartblaster, and owner of the most dramatic emotional range this side of the kennel.
Fenway was born in a van and lived there until he was 6 months old. So what does that mean? Quite simply, heās a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde: the sweetest boy and the assiest as***le, two sides of one coin. You get both whether you want them or not.
To be clear, Fenway is a good dog. He just didnāt get what he needed at the beginning. Proper socialization matters enormously, and his early lack of it shows. Thatās not a dig at anyone; itās why Fenway deserves someone willing to give him the time, effort, and training he needs to have his best chance.
Fenway is high energy and has anxiety in general. Rumor has it his eyes are so buggy because he keeps them open so long they pushed right out of their sockets. His brain seems to work at top speed, with so many thoughts he has to tell everyone about them. He can play all day and still not be tired. When he does finally crash, though, he turns into the hardest, best, most content snuggler in the entire universe. Heād prefer to crawl directly into your body, and he loves giving kisses.
He has anxiety and possibly signs of a personality disorder. He can be hit or miss about feeling comfortable, and new things are genuinely hard for him. His confidence has grown tremendously so far but will need continued confidence building, exposure and reinforcement.
We have diffusers (Adaptil/thunderease) for him and these can go with him. He wears a ThunderShirtāvery stylish, though besides style hasnāt helped with much. Sometimes when heās feeling extra spry and he needs to calm down, a car ride does the trick. He falls asleep immediately, like a colicky baby. He feels safest in vehicles since thatās where he lived a good bit of his life. Sometimes his foster sits in the car in the garage when returning and lets him sleep as long as possible. That is the level of commitment this tiny chaos engine inspires.
Fenway likes people and other dogs. After a good sniff, heās eager to play. He plays great with both males, females and bigger/smaller dogs and has demonstrated proper dog-meeting manners. Has not met cats, do not recommend small children due to nipping.
Heās working on āsitā when heās excited, and gets it about half the time right now. Potty training is going well but will need continued work. He jumps quite a bit, so gets praise when he keeps all four paws down. He doesnāt like his crate, and we donāt trust him enough yet to leave him to his own devices without finding out what he can get into. Maybe one day heāll sleep in a bed with you. For now, he can barkāand if he doesnāt want to be in his crate, he can outbark the barkiest of barkers. He also has an affinity at times to climb.
Fenway also nips, and he can nip pretty hard. It happens when he wants something or gets overstimulated or is unsure, so this will need work. We strongly recommend working with a qualified trainerāan actual trained professional, not YouTube or whatever worked for your last four to eight dogs. We want both Fenway and his person to succeed. He may also sometimes think the nipping is affection because he does it most to the person heās closest to. It does not feel like a great way to show love, though. Heāll get your butt or the back of your leg, almost like heās herding you around so you can turn and beg for a pardon for your crimes and heās the Chief Justice of the US. He is not the judge. But he can definitely give the judgiest of glares.
A few important notes about Fenwayās very specific interests: he is obsessed with orange. The color. He has an orange squeaky, an orange monster stuffy, and an orange Phoenix. He loves fetch and tennis balls, but the balls donāt live long. Carrots (also orange) and blueberries are favorites, too. Weāre betting if the blueberries were orange theyād take the top spot.
Fenway is a special guy who needs a little extra. Heāll do best with a very patient person, ideally someone familiar with the breed. It may take a few weeks for him to settle into a new home. Not a few days. Not a couple of hours. So if youāre in it, it needs to be for the long haul. He will test your patience. He may make you cry. Weāre not going to lie about that. But he is sooooo worth it, and he deserves someone who can give him the world.
Fenway is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.
