About B

Boscoe is a 47-pound male Boxer mix with a sweet, loyal spirit who finds joy in the little things—a soft bed, fresh grass, and plenty of cuddle time. He’s neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on shots, and about 2 years old (born August 13, 2024, which makes him a Leo—so expect a playful, confident personality). Boscoe is house and crate trained, lets you know when he needs out, and gets along well on leash. He would love a home with a yard where he can run and stretch his legs, though he settles nicely after his walks and leash time. He’s happiest as the only dog, soaking up all the attention and affection, but lives peacefully with other dogs at his foster home. No cats for this guy. Boscoe is deeply devoted to his humans, bonds quickly once he’s comfortable, and may act shy at first but soon melts into a loving companion—especially during couch cuddle sessions (watch for his signature gentle "fleaing" nibble). He’s gentle, affectionate, and great with older kids, but his big, enthusiastic energy means he’s best with children who can handle his size. He has a scar on his back from an old injury, but it hasn’t dampened his trust or playfulness. He’s ready for someone to give him the home and love he deserves. Boscoe is currently fostering in Houston, TX with Freedom Street Rescue. They ask that you use their website to begin the adoption process. Click apply to start the adoption process.
