About Bo

Bo is a charming senior Chihuahua who found himself in need of a new home when his owner passed away. This affectionate little couch potato is eager for comfort and love. He will thrive on a weight-loss program, as he has a bit of a food obsession and tends to gobble his meals quickly. Bo enjoys the company of other dogs, especially his current companion, a Texas Heeler mix, with whom he gets along fantastically. However, he can be grouchy if larger dogs accidentally step on him. His lovable nature shines through, particularly when he's lounging or receiving a few gentle pets. Currently in a foster home, Bo is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. You can meet him by completing an online adoption application. This senior gem is ready to settle into a loving home. Think you can provide that?
