My story

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

Weight: 19.5lbs (currently on a diet)

Boson is a 4.5-year-old poodle mix who is thoughtful, sensitive, and deeply bonded to the people he trusts. He enjoys walks and exploring the world at his own pace, especially when given the space to observe and process his surroundings.

Boson can be selective with both people and other dogs and does best with calm, predictable interactions. New environments and unfamiliar individuals can feel overwhelming to him, so he benefits from slow, structured introductions and handlers who are attentive to his body language. While it may take time for Boson to feel comfortable, once trust is established he is affectionate, loyal, and highly engaged with his people.

Boson is looking for a calm home with a dog-savvy adopter who will allow him to settle in at his own pace and continue supporting his positive progress.

Interested in meeting Boson? His meet-and-greet process will be a little different to help set everyone up for success. The first step will be a meet and greet with our behavior specialist. Please contact us to learn more and see if Boson might be the right fit—we’d love to talk with you! We are open 11am-5pm Tues-Sun.
