Adoption information
About Boris
Boris is a lovable senior boy with a soft heart and a gentle, easy‑going nature. Despite his age, he still enjoys playtime and can be quite energetic when he’s excited. Most of the time, though, Boris is happiest lounging around, soaking up affection, and being spoilt by his favourite humans.
He is very social with both people and dogs. Whether it’s saying hello on walks or relaxing beside a doggy friend, Boris thrives in warm, friendly company. He is submissive and gentle in his interactions, making him an easy companion for many kinds of homes.
Boris knows some basic commands and sometimes responds — he’s still a work in progress, but he tries, and his sweet temperament makes training enjoyable. He walks well on a leash and loves being out and about with his humans.
