About Boris

Boris is a joyful, affectionate boy who lives for playtime, treats, and anything involving water. After being found in a tough spot in Texas, clearly too gentle for the chaos around him, Boris arrived at the rescue with injuries but bounced back remarkably fast. Now fully healed, he’s eager for a new start with someone ready for his brand of wholehearted loyalty. Boris is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. He’s kennel trained, house trained, and seeks out human attention. He loves playing chase with other dogs, but Boris isn’t a fit for a home with cats. Children, however, will find a fast friend in him. His coat is medium in length and a striking mix of white, cream, and red. If you’re searching for a dog who will happily share your couch and join you outside for adventures, Boris is waiting in Humble, TX. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
