**Meet Boss!** Boss is a handsome, 7 year old Shih Tzu mix. He is a sturdy little guy weighing about 19 pounds who is ready to find his perfect forever home. True to his name, Boss likes to be in charge, but what he loves most is being close to his people. Boss is a social, affectionate companion who has done great with every adult he's met. He loves spending time curled up next to you-or even better, in your lap-soaking up pets and cuddles. He's playful and enjoys fetching and carrying around his favorite small squeaky toys. When he's having fun, he'll even make the cutest low growling sounds while playing or rolling around, which is just his way of expressing his happiness. This sweet boy walks nicely on a leash, is fully potty trained, and is crate trained both during the day and overnight. He's also a relatively quiet dog who rarely barks, making him a potential fit for apartment living as long as he gets regular walks, exercise, and plenty of human companionship. Boss gets along well with dogs his size and smaller. However, he does not do well with larger dogs and would do best in a home without them. He has shown that he prefers to be the boss of the relationship and can be reactive toward bigger dogs. Boss has been independent among smaller dogs and seems to enjoy people even more than canine companionship, so he may be perfectly happy as an only dog. If there is another dog in the home, a smaller, compatible companion would likely be the best match. Boss is looking for an individual or family who will appreciate his affectionate nature, playful personality, and loyal companionship. If you're searching for a loving sidekick who wants nothing more than to be near his favorite people, Boss may be the perfect match for you.
