My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bosco!

Bosco is an awesome and unique boy who joined us from Oklahoma. He’s just 1 year old, a Catahoula Mix who had been found as a stray. Bosco is a perfect size, weighing petite 51 lbs. He’d be a perfect pup for most every family.

Bosco is a perfect combination of energetic and playful, yet gentle and responsive. Bosco enjoys playing with other dogs, and loves to run in the securely fenced yard of his foster home.

An ideal home for Bosco would provide him with a canine companion as well as a secure fenced yard. And of course would provide comprehensive vet care, a healthy natural diet, and supplements as needed by Bosco.

While he is in great health and is physically fit, when found, Bosco was limping a bit. X-rays revealed that Bosco had been shot in the foot with bullet fragments remaining. Our vet/specialist recommends against removal of the bullet fragments since it appears that the wound occurred quite some time ago and the injury has healed. Due to this injury, it is very important that Bosco maintain a healthy lean weight, and be provided joint supplements (glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM).

Bosco is fully vetted, up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention.
