Meet Boss, a 2.5-year-old Black Labrador Retriever weighing 67 pounds with the sweetest soul and the gentlest heart. Boss is the kind of dog who captures your attention the moment he leans in for a hug. Despite his name, he has a calm, steady presence and brings comfort everywhere he goes. With his deep, soulful eyes and old-soul energy, he always seems to understand exactly what you need. Boss already knows how to sit beautifully and walks politely on a leash like a true gentleman. He loves toys, exploring the world around him, and taking long walks where he can stop and sniff everything in sight. While he carries himself with a dignified charm, he also has a goofy side and loves making people laugh. He is a professional at handing out kisses and will happily do whatever it takes to earn your attention and affection. Boss loves other dogs, cats, and kids, making friends easily wherever he goes. He would thrive with a semi-active family who can take him on adventures, let him explore, and give him plenty of love and companionship. With his affectionate personality, loyal nature, and sweet spirit, Boss is ready to become someone’s very best friend. 🐶💛✨ Boss is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. Given the conditions Boss originated from, upon rescue, he tested positive for Heartworm disease. Thanks to Home for Good Dog Rescue, Boss has completed hisHeartworm treatment. *Heartworm disease is a serious and if left untreated, fatal disease. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of affected animals, causing severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. Mosquitoes are carriers of heartworms and have the ability to infect dogs all year round, especially in the Southeastern portion of the United States and during the summer months.* **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
