🩵Update 9/7: adopted by a shelter volunteer 🩵 💔 BOSS HAS BEEN WAITING SINCE DECEMBER 2025. WHEN IS IT FINALLY HIS TURN? 7 year old Boss has been sitting in the shelter since December. NINE MONTHS. That is an incredibly long time for any dog to spend waiting for someone to choose him. 💔 Boss is such a fun, lovable guy. He has the cutest habit of carrying his favorite toys around like they’re his prized possessions, then checking back to see if you’re watching. 😂 He knows sit, down, & shake, takes treats gently, enjoys belly rubs, loves going for walks, & is always happy to play with a squeaky toy. Boss has a great balance of playful energy & an easygoing personality. He’s very dog friendly & has done well around other dogs. He’s the kind of goofy, loyal companion who just wants to be included in your life. A recent shelter observation also noted some muscle atrophy around his head/face, so he deserves someone who will make sure he gets the veterinary attention he needs. Boss has spent nearly 9 months watching people come & go while he waits in his kennel. How is this sweet boy still waiting? He deserves to finally be someone’s dog. ❤️ Please share Boss. Maybe the person who has been looking for him just hasn’t seen his face yet. ——— Boss #A287307 • ~7 years old • Neutered male • Pittie mix • Intake 12/12/25 • Very dog friendly • Available for adoption, shelter foster, or rescue Adoption includes neuter, shots, microchip, flea/heartworm prevention, & deworming.
