It's been over 2 years since NBRF placed the Boston Pups in their forever homes and we are delighted to hear this wonderful update from Joe and Jackie N!!
"Skye formerly named Vivaldi was part of the Boston Pups rescue by NBRF in March of 2021. Soon after he moved to his new home in Maine it became apparent, he was very insecure and had tendencies for separation anxiety. He challenged us with his need for “flight,” as every open door (home or car) became an uncertain risk for him. Despite these opportunities, we can proudly say he was never successful!
He had many vices as puppies tend to have and did not understand boundaries as he would often end up on top of the kitchen table. He was very proud of his accomplishments especially his climbing abilities, despite our concerns for his safety 😊
To encourage Skye to become comfortable with his forever home, his people and his new best friend Brava, spent many hours working with him to gain his trust. This included providing him with a dedicated safe play area in the yard, lots and lots of leash time and crate training combined with much love and understanding.
Skye has been a very loving and affectionate dog since he first arrived and simply needed stability and a permanent forever home in a secure environment. He is a confident and funny BIG fella who just wants to be with his people and Brava.
He seems to also enjoy the company of the Scottish Highland cattle that he shares his farm with and will play bow to try to get their attention. When he is not hanging out on the farm, he enjoys riding in the car and going for hikes. He has brought many a smile to us with his funny habits (no longer bad vices) and his personality."
This makes our hearts sing!! Thank you Joe and Jackie for giving this boy the love and guidance he needed to become a confident, well mannered borzoi! We are so proud of and happy for you handsome!
