About Boss

Boss landed at the shelter as a stray, so his history is a blank slate. This blocky-headed, silver-and-white charmer weighs in at a sturdy 62 lbs and is estimated to be about 3 years old—young enough to have the best energy, old enough to have left puppy chaos behind. He comes neutered, fully vaccinated, and checked negative for heartworm. Boss stands out for his friendly, outgoing nature and a serious interest in sniffing out every scent he can find on walks. He’s polite on leash and could thrive in scent work or any activity that taps into his curiosity and nose. In shelter, it’s tough to say if Boss is housebroken, so it’s smart to treat him as a blank slate there and potentially be pleasantly surprised. He’s been good around other dogs at the shelter. There’s no info yet on kids or cats, so it’s smart to bring yours (kids, dogs, even cats, if you can) for a meet-and-greet with the staff. Boss is ready for a fresh start with someone willing to invest in his potential and spirit. Start your journey together! Apply now.
