Obsidian’s Story

Obsidian came to SNAFU Rescue via a breeder release.  His breeder wanted him placed in a loving home to live the rest of his life as a cherished pet.

Obsidian is an outgoing, active, playful, energetic, SUPER social Boston Terrier puppy who enjoys playing with other dogs (big and small), going on puppy suited walks, and entertaining himself with a toy.  After enough activity to wear him out, he is looking for a comfy place to rest and snuggle in.  He has the enthusiasm of a typical puppy for playtime and naptime; an adorable ball of energy who adores the outside when the weather is nice. You can often find him exploring every inch of his foster home, looking for the resident pups to engage in a game of chase or a good game of a gentle wrestling session. If his furry friends are romping around the home showing off their playful nature, that is a cue for Obi (as he is affectionately referred to)  to join in! He thinks he is much bigger than he is!  He is fearless!   Obi follows along with whatever his foster dog siblings do. After a fun (and exhausting) play session, Obi will again snuggle up on the couch to recharge for the next play session. Obi is all play all the time!  He does have an inquisitive side. He wants to know where everything is in the home and where noises are coming from so he must be supervised when wandering indoors as he is still a very young dog that doesn’t know danger. He ALWAYS wants to be with his people and other dogs! Obsidian is just a puppy, is experiencing a big transition, and will need firm leadership, and consistent correction to help him learn proper dog behavior, learn proper dog manners, and know what is expected of him in his adoptive home. He  is extremely smart and eager to please his humans so we know he will catch on very quickly! Obi is learning to walk  on a leash and is making great strides!   Obi seems to fall head over paws for every human he meets. His foster family believes he would be best in a home with dog-savvy, gentle children of any age, as well as a home with a playful furry friend (or two!). As with all of our dogs, we recommend slow introductions between dogs AND supervision around children when introducing a new dog in your home to make sure both he and they are kept safe.  

Obsidian is still working on potty training and occasionally has accidents when he is roaming the house. Again, he is a smart puppy and quickly picks up on things, mimics his foster sibling’s behavior, and adapts well to routines.  Obi is still a puppy and as with all of our dogs, any adopter will need to be able to and willing to continue working on potty training with him, offering him a consistent schedule and working with him on a signal for potty/going outside. He is 100% crate trained and is keeping his crate clean and dry on his current routine. Obi has slept quietly in his crate when his foster family happens to leave the home and as well at night.  Most recently, he has been trusted to sleep in a human bed at night so we think he would love to share a bed with his adoptive family! He is such a snuggle bug and he must be as close as possible to those he loves the most. For his safety, we recommend a similar crating/sleeping schedule be kept for him.

 Medically, Obsidian seems to be in great health.  He has been neutered, updated on vaccinations/dewormings, microchipped, and has been given the okay for adoption by our veterinarian.

 Obsidian would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard due to his curious, explorative nature and because he is still potty-training (as opposed to a multiple-floor apartment-style dwelling with no yard). He is still a young dog learning boundaries, so he must be supervised while romping around the yard and sunning his Boston buns. Overall, Obi is just the sweetest little love-bug! He enjoys any and all attention, snuggle hour, wrestling sessions, playtime with his furry friends, and all people (big and small). This energetic and fearless boy is looking for a family that can offer him the stimulation he needs and the guidance to help him develop into an adult dog.  He would eventually love to go to the office with his family if they are able to take him along.  Obi would need some puppy training and has to master the potty training game prior to entering the workplace. Ultimately, he is looking for a home that has the time and patience to help him guide him into a balanced adult dog, a home with another furry sibling or two and one that isn’t gone long hours as he will need several potty breaks during the day.  Be prepared for the needs and requirements of a young dog; Obsidian will make it worth it!
