My story

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

Bosco is an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy whose favorite place in the world is right next to his person. He is extremely cuddly and thrives on physical closeness—when he’s able to touch or snuggle with someone, his energy settles into a calm, contented state. Without that connection, his energy can spike, not from aggression, but from excitement and a strong desire for attention.

Bosco has shown no signs of aggression at all. He is friendly and social, with no clear preference between men or women, and greets people with enthusiasm and affection. While he hasn’t yet been exposed to children or other animals, his interactions with people have consistently been positive and loving.

On leash, Bosco can become very excited when he sees other animals and may bark or jump, indicating that leash manners and impulse control will be important areas to continue working on. He is a hyper boy who will benefit from structure, consistency, and appropriate outlets for his energy.

Bosco is athletic and surprisingly agile. He will require a secure yard with a minimum 6-foot solid fence, as he has demonstrated the ability to clear a 4-foot chain-link fence—even while on leash.

Bosco is looking for a home that understands his need for companionship, physical affection, and guidance. With someone who can be present, provide structure, and meet his emotional and physical needs, Bosco will be an incredibly devoted, loving companion who just wants to be close and adored.
