Boris is a gentle, senior Akita who’s come a long way. He was found braving heavy traffic, completely deaf and navigating a dangerous situation with unexpected resolve. Since his rescue, Boris has become a favorite at his care facility, where the staff truly dotes on him. He moves through life quietly, always happy to show affection and greet humans or other dogs—especially the ladies—with his calm, social nature. He’s searching for a peaceful home where he can finally relax and enjoy a quieter pace. Boris is the kind of companion who is happiest curled up beside you on the couch or ambling on easy walks in the sun. His history and special needs mean he’d benefit from a patient adopter who appreciates his sweet, steady temperament. Boris gets along with other dogs and cats, so he’d fit right in with a relaxed crew at home. If you’re searching for a wise, loving presence, Boris could be the one. Your new best friend is just one click away.
