About Boss

Boss is an affectionate and outdoors-loving dog whose greatest talents are cuddling and spreading love. He's friendly and is eager to join a family that enjoys both adventures and cozy snuggle time. This young boy is house-trained and familiar with home life. Boss knows commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' and he has done well being left alone for several hours. Fetch, tug-of-war, and wrestling are some of his favorite activities, especially when enjoyed outside. With proven dog experience, Boss previously lived with a 40-pound male dog and regularly enjoys playgroups at the shelter. Starting out with soft, polite greetings, he's grown confident enough to play with more energy. He might just be the perfect companion for another lively dog; reach out to shelter staff about a meet-and-greet with any resident pups. Although he’s still honing his leash manners and can jump with excitement, his enthusiasm is always paired with affection. When thunderstorms roll in, Boss appreciates a quiet, comfortable spot to retreat to. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
