My story

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

RESCUE STORY
Boris had a rough start. He was born on the streets and learned to survive. His days were filled with scavenging for food, avoiding larger dogs, and seeking shelter in hidden corners. Despite the hardships, Boris possessed a gentle spirit and a pair of soulful eyes that spoke of resilience. He used to live on a university campus and was a community dog. However, this did not take long and university management started to collect all dogs and wanted to put a municipal shelter which is simply a death sentence for a dog. The volunteers didn’t let this happen and placed him in a boarding facility in Turkey.

Character
Boris is known for his friendly and outgoing nature. He forms strong bonds with his peeps and is often eager to please. With his glossy coat and playful demeanour, Boris will become a beloved member of your family, capture the hearts of everyone in your home.

This social butterfly thrives on human interaction and is always eager to make new friends. His warm, expressive eyes reflect his affectionate nature, and his tail wags enthusiastically at the sight of anyone willing to give him attention. He is highly food-motivated. This can be an advantage in training. He can be influenced by the other dogs’ temperament so he could be a good companion to a calm dog with a proper introduction.

Despite his friendly nature, Boris harbours a peculiar aversion to men wearing hats. It's a mystery to everyone, as he reacts with a mix of curiosity and caution whenever he encounters someone sporting a hat. In addition, he may exhibit a sense of loyalty that makes him watchful over their loved ones.

Even though he is a medium-energy dog, he is playful and entertaining. He loves to play, run, and engage in various activities. Regular exercise is essential to keep him happy. We don’t know how he is around kids and cats. If you plan to adopt a dog for the first time or you are not an experienced dog owner, you should consider working with a trainer as Boris stays in a boarding house for a long time and forgot city life already. He’s social with people but still needs encouragement for city life.

Boris can fly to Toronto or Vancouver when he finds his forever home!
