Boris has a gentle, careful way about him. He didn’t have the easiest start, so he’s working hard to trust people and to understand that kindness can last. He shows affection in soft, quiet gestures—resting close, offering a cautious kiss, or simply sticking by your side in a silent sort of loyalty. He’s happiest when curled up on a soft blanket or chewing on toys. Food gets him excited; it’s a great way to make progress with him, and he’s picked up basic commands like "sit" and "come." Boris is crate-trained, house-trained, and does well with other dogs, finding comfort with a pup companion in his foster home. Cats are a bit more of a challenge; he lives with one now but will likely need continued training in a home with resident felines. Boris has some physical issues, probably from genetics or old trauma, but he keeps gaining strength and confidence in his foster home every day. He needs a patient home with a calm energy to help him keep growing. If you’ve got time and space for a dog who goes slow but loves deeply, Boris could be your guy.
