About Bossco

Meet Bossco! This energetic three-and-a-half-year-old Northern Breed/Terrier mix is residing in Amherst, MA. With his striking tan coat accented by hints of silver and black, Bossco has the confident look of a miniature sled dog ready for adventure. He carries himself with the proud demeanor of a working dog, complete with a deep bark he uses to keep an eye on the neighborhood from his yard. Bossco's personality blends feisty terrier energy with a deep affection for his humans. He forms strong bonds and follows his favorite people around like a loyal shadow, often popping in for a quick hello or gentle kisses during bathroom check-ins. Morning routines are brightened by his cheerful greetings as he jumps onto the bed to kick off the day. He adores belly rubs and cozy couch time, often rolling over with delight when he's comfortable. Small plush toys, especially his treasured Lamb Chop, are constantly by his side. Bossco loves outdoor activities like walks and jogging, exploring the world brings him immense joy. While he’s good with female dogs and has made progress with a male pup at home, he has had altercations with other males, so slow introductions are key. Due to his separation anxiety, an experienced guardian who works from home and understands northern breeds will be ideal. He would thrive best in a home with adults or older children only. Could Bossco be the devoted companion who joins you for walks, cuddles on the couch, and everyday adventures? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
