Featured Pup of the Week: Blaire 🐶

Meet Blaire, the two-year-old lab mix who is currently being fostered through Dorchester Paws!

From Blaire’s Foster:

“Meet Blaire.... and yes, she is just as sweet as she looks. If you are looking for a perfect balance between a playful pup and a couch potato, look no further. Her favorite hobbies include snuggling on the couch, going for walks, and snuggling on the couch some more. She might lack a sense of personal space, but makes up by being so cute about it!

Blaire also has an impressive resume: house trained, crate trained, loves car rides, and very good with people. Her foster parent says she does great with basic commands and earns her treats every day being such a good girl!"
