About Bossco

Meet Bossco, a spirited three-and-a-half-year-old Northern Breed/Terrier mix currently in Amherst, MA. With his striking tan coat accented by hints of silver and black, he struts around with all the confidence of a mini sled dog, ready for adventure. Bossco's proud presence is complemented by a deep, booming bark he uses to keep an eye on the neighborhood. He combines the energy of a feisty terrier with the loyalty of a working dog, often turning into a devoted shadow, following his favorite humans from room to room. A quirky but sweet habit of his includes check-ins, popping in for a quick hello and gentle kisses, making sure everything is going smoothly throughout the day. Whether it's delivering cheerful morning greetings while hopping onto the bed or rolling onto his back for belly rubs, Bossco’s affectionate nature shines through. He enjoys cozy couch time, particularly with his treasured plush toy, Lamb Chop, that he proudly carries around the house. An enthusiastic explorer, Bossco thrives during walks and outdoor adventures. He is highly food-motivated and knows commands like sit, shake, and high-five—ideal for further positive reinforcement training. However, Bossco experiences anxiety and forms strong attachments, so he needs a confident, experienced guardian who understands northern breeds and can offer the structure and reassurance he needs. A home with primarily women, or a single woman, would help him feel secure as he builds trust at his own pace. Bossco is good with dogs, especially females, though he may require careful introductions to other males. He ideally needs a home without young children, as he has shown discomfort around them. This energetic and loving companion could be the devoted shadow who joins you on daily walks and couch cuddles. If you're interested in welcoming Bossco into your life, please email adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information. Let’s find him the loving home he deserves!
