Story
Bosa is a great dog that just needs a more quiet and less active home. Our 4 kids like to carryon and rough house with each other and he gets very upset and thinks they hurting each other. He does great in the house and can be left alone without having any bathroom accidents inside. He also does great outside left alone and has never tried to run away. Bosa has always been an only dog so we not sure how he’d get along with another but I would think he would be just fine. He truly is a great dog but just doesn’t seem very happy here. It’s not fair to him to keep him around a very rambunctious household when all he wants to do is relax in the peace. Our kids also play a lot of sports that keeps us away on the weekends and he’s not a fan at all of going to the kennel. He’s also protective of his household and doesn’t like people coming to care for him when we’re not here. Please let me know if you have any questions about Bosa or if you would like to meet him! He’s a real cool dude!
