Meet Boris - A Gentle Soul Looking for a Special Home
Boris is a sweet, quirky pup with a tender heart and a resilient spirit. He's had a tough start in life and is still learning to trust, but his progress has been amazing. While he's very shy with touch and startles easily, Boris shows affection in his own gentle way-by resting near you, giving soft kisses, and seeking quiet companionship.
He's food-motivated, crate-trained, potty-trained, and knows basic commands like "sit" and "come." He loves soft blankets, chew toys, and playing with other dogs, especially with his foster brother Charlie. While he also lives with a foster brother cat, he may need some training and work to coexist with any resident felines. Though he has some physical challenges-likely due to genetics or past trauma-he's gaining strength and confidence every day.
Boris needs a patient, loving home that will let him open up at his own pace. If you have a calm environment and a big heart, Boris could be the perfect fit. He may take time, but the love you'll earn from him is truly one of a kind.
Boris is currently in foster.
Boris's adoption fee is $275. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 50 Age: 1yrs 10mths 1wks

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
