Hey there, fellow dog lover! I`m Bosco, the one and only brown and white Pup with a smile that can rival the sun. They say I`m about 5 years old, but trust me, my love tank levels will make you wonder if I`ve found the fountain of youth!
Speaking of love, I weigh in at a solid 86.40 lbs. Don`t let my size intimidate you, though. I`m a big teddy bear who just wants to cuddle and play fetch till the sun goes down.
Now, here`s the scoop. I`ve been stuck in this shelter since September 22, 2023, and let me tell you, the walls are starting to feel a bit too close for comfort. That`s why I`m begging you to come and rescue me from this doggy daycare madness!
You can find me eagerly waiting for your visit at 5473 Overpass Rd in Goleta. Swing by any time between 10am-6pm, Tuesday through Sunday. And hey, if you want to make me extra happy, bring me a pup cup from Starbucks. It`s like heaven in a tiny cup!
Oh, and did I mention that I`m a pro at going on adventures? Whether it`s hiking, road trips, or just a leisurely car ride, count me in! And if you`re a couch potato, fear not, because I`m an expert at Netflix and chill. We can binge-watch our favorite shows together while I snuggle up right next to you.
So, what are you waiting for? Let`s make memories, explore the world, and become the best team ever. Adopt me, Bosco, and let`s embark on this wild and wonderful journey called life together!
