MUST START OUT AS AN ONLY DOG (until successfully housebroken),

Hi! My name is Chaco and I am a blue Boston terrier boy. I spent the seven years of my life living in a sand pen to be used as a breeder of puppies. I didn’t get socialized as a youngster, have playmates or toys, get a loving touch by a human, or enter a house. Just sand and a bucket of food.
Six months ago, all that changed. The backyard breeder closed her puppymill and the dogs she used to make money were sold. I was bought by a lady who rescues dogs and gets them ready for life as a beloved family member. Boy, big life change!!
Food from bowls, five doggie brothers and a sister, lots of humans around, including kids. Noise, laughter, cuddles, chaos, tons of interesting food, manners, learning for the first time, words!!! That’s a lot after no stimulus for seven long years. But I love having humans around and have learned sit and come, human words that apparently mean cookie!!
It is time for me to find my forever family. I know someone is out there who can make me their special someone. I am as healthy as can be, have medical insurance, and my only special need is that I am a busy indoor marker (pee on things).
Because my job was being a stud dog, I still mark in the house. I do go outside to do my business but still mark inside. My foster mom thinks it is possible that if I were not around other dogs- and there are five here- especially a female, that I might not feel the need to mark my territory. I’d be the only one around. I love wrestling with my Dalmatian brother but I would be happy as an only dog getting 100% of mom and dad’s attention.
Meanwhile, I can wear a belly band (or my karate gear, as FM says). This works best if you DON’T have a doggie door (or can keep it closed). If you have a doggie door, I go out and pee in the bellyband, which doesn’t teach me how to be housebroken. If you can give me regular potty breaks and let me outside every hour plus, I would be fine. I love being outside and enjoy strolling and sunning naked but wear a belly band inside. It gets changed a few times a day (pad inside) so I don't get pee burn.
Inside, I am all about comfort. I like it best to be near my FM but I am not clingy. Next to is just fine. I am getting used to mushy kisses and hugs she insists on giving me. Now I even give kisses back and love tummy and back scratches. And I love sleeping on the bed at night. FM says I snore like a locomotive but she loves it. Maybe you would too.
FM says I should be an only dog until I am trustworthy not to pee in the house. I love other dogs but
No Dogs would make housebreaking successful
I have medical insurance under Lemonade Pet Insurance through August 12, 2026.
