About Bossco

Meet Bossco! Bossco is a lively three-and-a-half-year-old Northern Breed/Terrier mix, currently in Amherst, MA. His vibrant tan coat with hints of silver and black gives him a mini sled dog vibe ready for adventure. He has the proud stance of a working dog and a booming bark, perfect for keeping an eye on the neighborhood. This spirited boy bonds deeply with his humans, often becoming a loyal shadow, following them from room to room. One of Bossco’s charming traits is his bathroom check-ins, where he pops in for quick hellos and sweet kisses. Mornings usually start with him hopping onto the bed to greet you cheerfully before the day’s fun begins. He adores belly rubs and cozy couch time, often rolling on his back with all four paws in the air when he's comfy. Plush toys, especially his cherished Lamb Chop, are his prized possessions, bringing endless joy. Bossco thrives on outdoor activities—jogging, trail sniffing, and exploring make him incredibly happy. He's smart and food-motivated, already knowing commands like sit, shake, and high-five, making him an engaging partner for training. Although Bossco forms strong attachments, he experiences anxiety and needs an experienced guardian familiar with Huskies or northern breeds. A single woman or a family primarily made up of women would offer him the security he seeks. Older children would be best since he has shown growling behavior towards young kids. He can deal with separation anxiety, so having someone who can work from home would be ideal. While he is good with female dogs, slow introductions are necessary for him to adjust to male dogs, as he's had some altercations in the past. Could Bossco be your devoted companion, joining you for daily adventures and cozy moments? Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
