About Boss

Boss is a 6-year-old Terrier mix with a handsome brindle coat, looking for a fresh start due to his owner's housing situation. He's lived most of his life indoors and is completely potty trained. Boss is up to date on vaccines and has seen a veterinarian, but he is not neutered. He’s described as friendly and enjoys being around people of all ages, including children. His approach to visitors can be a few initial barks, but once he has a moment to check things out, he settles in quickly. He’s tolerant when it comes to food and toys—you can take them from him without fuss. Boss tends to bark or growl if he senses people are fighting or play-roughhousing, not from aggression, just reacting to the energy. He has never bitten anyone. His owner hopes Boss finds a stable, loving place where he can continue being the loyal, even-tempered companion he’s always been. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
