About Boss

Meet Boss—the dog who truly thinks he runs the show. This senior fella is a charmingly stubborn companion with strong opinions about who gets the best spot on the couch and what grass should look like. Boss has his routines and loves, which include patrolling a fenced yard, relishing walks that make excellent bathroom breaks, and claiming your bed and couch as his own. He's not a fan of being left alone, so be prepared for some dramatic barking and whining during your absence. Doorbells are also a major annoyance for him; he considers them personal attacks. While he might not be eager to share his kingdom with other pets right away, he might warm up with proper introductions. Boss is seeking a quiet home where he can bask in your attention. If you’re ready for a humorously lazy dog who thinks he’s the ruler of all he surveys, Boss is your guy. Every kingdom needs a ruler, and Boss is ready to claim his throne. What are you waiting for?
