Balboa

Meet Balboa

Meet Balboa — a resilient, gentle giant with a heart as big as his comeback story! When Balboa first arrived at the MSPCA as a stray, he was severely underweight and clearly had a tough road behind him. Thanks to the dedicated care of our hospital team, he’s made an incredible recovery and is now back on his paws, feeling stronger every day.

While much of Balboa’s past is unknown, what we do know is that he’s ready for a fresh start with a patient and understanding adopter. He’ll thrive in a home willing to give him the time and space he needs to settle in and slowly expand his world at his pace.

Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Balboa. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Visit www.mspca.org/petresources to learn how to prepare for a successful first few weeks at home with a your adopted pet!

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
