About Boris

Boris is a gentle and sweet 7-year-old Olde English Bulldog who found himself needing a new home when his senior owner moved to a skilled nursing facility. He thrives as an only pet and would do best in a home without other animals or, possibly, with a very mellow dog. Though he's starting to relax in his foster environment, Boris experiences anxiety in the presence of new people and prefers a laidback, quiet atmosphere. He could live comfortably with older children, but he'll need to avoid homes with cats entirely. Boris has been known to exhibit stress during vet visits and might require muzzle training or calm sedation for these occasions. A local adopter would be ideal since car rides can also trigger his anxiety. This big boy has a heart full of love to give once he feels safe and trusts you. Patience and consistency will be key as he adjusts. With time, he'll happily settle in as your couch buddy! Ready to welcome Boris into your life? Apply now!
