About Boss

Boss is a one-year-old neutered male Labrador Retriever mix in Wasilla, AK. He’s young, upbeat, and adjusting nicely to living indoors. Lately, he’s made big strides when it comes to sharing toys and taking turns for treats. Boss already knows how to sit and is picking up new basic commands—he’s engaged and figuring out the ropes. The doggie door has clicked for him too, which seems to make life easier in the house. Boss enjoys the company of most dogs, though he likes to wrestle and may play rougher than some. If you have another energetic dog at home, they’ll likely hit it off. He’s been around cats and, while he gets curious, he hasn’t shown any real chasing behavior so far. He’s still learning when it comes to food—meal times in his crate work best, as he’s not thrilled to share but settles down quickly once inside. Crating is fairly smooth now, with only a little grumbling before he naps. Boss is up to date on his vaccines, microchipped, and has his basic vet work done. As an Aries, Boss brings his own fun and confident flair to daily life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
