Wheezy Boston Terrier New York, NY

This adorable guy brindle boy is Wheezy. He is 2.5 years old and was surrendered when his previous owners were forced to move and couldn't find a dog friendly place to live. He previously lived with other dogs and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, big and small. He has been living in NYC with us for a few weeks now and it is obvious that this boy can adapt to any living situation, be it suburbs or city. He is pretty low maintenance for a young dog and is happiest sleeping on his human's lap. He acts like a big baby and likes to be held on his back, it's hysterical! He is super sweet and just loves to give kisses. When he is excited he does the cutest little bean dance where he almost folds in half.



He is a little unsure of meeting new people but can be easily bribed to trust them with treats, he is very food motivated. Once he realizes he is not in any danger he tries to climb into his new friends' laps and lick their faces clean. His ideal home would know how to manage this fear and just instruct visitors to ignore him until he comes to them. Once he knows you he tolerates all handling, with ZERO resource or food guarding. He desperately just wants a forever family to call his own.
