Meet Dustin! A happy, prancing little gentleman with the biggest smile, the sweetest heart, and a spirit that refuses to be anything but joyful. Dustin is a 2-year-old, 34 lb. black and white Boston Bully mix who is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines and prevention. Dustin came to us as an owner surrender in Louisiana after being attacked by a much larger pit bull. He arrived with several bite wounds, but those wounds have healed, and somehow, through everything he endured, Dustin has remained one of the happiest, most grateful boys you will ever meet. It is truly remarkable how much joy this little guy carries. Dustin always seems to have a smile on his face. He is just happy to be alive, happy to be loved, and happy to be part of the day. It is hard to be unhappy around him. He prances when he walks like he is just so sure of himself, and his cheerful little spirit is absolutely contagious. He is in a foster home with teenagers and is gentle and amazing with all dogs, even pits. He loves playing with other dogs and has such a sweet, social nature. He is also protective in the most remarkable way — if he feels there may be a threat between two dogs or even people, he will put himself in between them. He does not look to engage, but he will stand there as if to say, “That is enough.” He is truly a little gentleman.
Ideal Home
Dustin loves playing ball and having fun with his dog friends. He has that classic Boston Terrier “I don't quit” spirit, so monitoring his heat level is very important, especially because he is stub-nosed. If water is available, Dustin will happily cool himself off by taking a little dip. Dustin will chase cats, not with the intent to harm, but because he thinks it is a fun game.
Ongoing Health
Dustin is neutered and up to date on vaccines and prevention. His adoption fee covers medical care up to adoption to include vaccines, neuter, and heartworm treatments.
Training & Support
Dustin is amazing in his crate and extremely clean. He is crated at night and during the day as needed without issue, and he does wonderfully with the routine. Dustin is great on a leash and enjoys getting out for walks. Dustin has been on Purina dog food and has done well. He also does well eating in a group and often stands back to make sure everyone else gets food before he eats. True gentleman behavior. As happy and playful as Dustin is, he also loves a good cuddle on the couch. He will gladly offer his belly for rubs every single time.
