Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Boris: The Tiny Prince
Boris is a handsome adult Chihuahua mix who is looking for a calm, predictable sanctuary to call his own. Boris was surrendered through no fault of his own when his previous family could no longer care for him. While his life has recently changed, his desire for a loyal connection remains as strong as ever.
Boris isn`t looking for a chaotic household; he’s looking for a partner. He can be touch-sensitive and values his personal bubble. He needs an adopter who respects boundaries as he will let you know when he’s ready for affection. He needs someone who can read subtle canine body language and won`t force cuddles.
Because he can be picky about how and when he is handled, he would do best in a mature, quiet home without younger children. In his previous home, Boris lived with a young female dog and could potentially do well in a home with another calm canine companion.
Once Boris knows he can trust you to respect his space, he is a steady, quiet buddy. He is the perfect `work-from-home` buddy—content to snooze nearby while you tackle your day. There is something incredibly rewarding about earning the trust of a dog like Boris; when he finally decides to lean into you for a scratch behind the ears, you know you’ve truly earned it.
Boris is neutered prior to adoption and has received core vaccinations (bordetella, canine distemper, rabies), flea + tick preventative, has been dewormed, and is microchipped.
If you are interested in adopting Boris, reach out to us at 920-733-1717 or adopt@foxvalleypets.org. You can also make an appointment online or feel free to take a peek during our open hours!
