Important for you to know that, as some folks question whether robust dogs can thrive in a city environment- we’ve been super successful at it. We’ve also fostered dogs as well. Norman is just a big bundle of fun!

Jumbo
Boston, MABreed: Bernedoodle
Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Hi there! We are a couple in our early 30s living in Boston with our pup Jumbo! He is incredible sweet and friendly, and knows all basic commands. He lovessss other dogs so is best suited to spend time with a pup that is interested in playing and hanging out. He’s almost 1 so still has puppy energy when it comes to play dates. He is very chill and sleeps a lot otherwise, but if another dog is around he will want to hang out as much as possible with that dog. He is completely hypoallergenic as we have fur allergies and he doesn’t shed. Would love to make Jumbo some new friends !
