Meet Borris
Borris is a big-hearted boy with a classic Cane Corso personality—loyal, affectionate, and always keeping a watchful eye on his people. He’s a true cuddle bug who loves being close to his humans and will happily follow you from room to room just to stay by your side. Whether he’s sitting at your feet or standing nearby on “lookout duty,” Borris takes his role as your companion and protector very seriously.
One of Borris’s favorite pastimes is playing fetch. Bring out a ball and he’s instantly ready for action! When playtime is over, he’s perfectly content settling in for a good nap or snuggling up with his favorite people. He also rides very well in the car and enjoys getting out for adventures. On a recent trip to Tractor Supply, Borris did wonderfully—politely walking up to people and happily accepting pets and attention.
Borris gets along great with the Great Dane in his foster home and absolutely LOVES cats, which is a rare and wonderful trait for such a big guy. He doesn’t necessarily need another dog in the home, but he has shown he can coexist nicely with other pets.
During his veterinary visit, Borris was understandably scared and nervous, especially when being handled around his hind end while receiving his rabies vaccination. Once he had a moment to settle, he allowed the exam to continue. In his foster home, Borris has not shown this behavior and is very comfortable with his foster mom. His reaction appeared to be related to the stress of an unfamiliar environment and handling, which can be common for dogs in new situations.
orris would do best with an adopter who has experience with large guardian breeds like Cane Corsos and understands their loyal, protective nature. He has shown interest in being around children middle school age and older, and while he hasn’t been around younger children in his foster home, he previously spent time with a family where he would walk their children to the bus stop and wait until they got safely on the bus—showing just how devoted he can be.
Borris is looking for a confident, loving home that will appreciate his loyalty, continue his training, and give him the structure he needs to thrive. In return, you’ll gain a devoted companion who will love you deeply, keep you company wherever you go, and always be ready for a game of fetch.
