Boris

Intake Date: 3/27/2017 Last Update: 3/31/2017 Date Available: 4/9/2017 Age: 4 years young and thriving! DOB: 2/8/2013, so I have an idea? On Valentines day, we have a birthday party every single year to celebrate the love you have for me! Gender: I'm a boy through and through! Weight: 55 pounds! My foster mom calls me Boris the Beefcake! Energy Level: Medium. There’s nothing I love more than a good blankie to burrow under and snooze, but I definitely enjoy and absolutely NEED a few short walks a day, some tug of war, and some good old fashioned rough housing with my giant stuffed lamb. Color & Markings: I am brindle with this stunning white chest and a white glove on my paw. Yeah, you can say it..."THAT BOY IS STUNNING!" Can go to a home with other dogs: My family that loved me for 4 years think that I'm not good with other dogs. You see I had this boxer sister and she and I weren't great together. My family brought home this human crying machine and ever since, I don't seem to enjoy the company of small children or other dogs. I tend to get along better with bigger dogs. Like I said, I like to play rough, and I am able to do that with bigger dogs and not worry about hurting them. I will need to follow a super slow intro. If you have a female dog with a laid back demeanor, your application will stand out! Can go to a home with cats: I think of cats like leggings and skinny jeans, I'm not into them! I don't appreciate their existence, and so for me, cats just don't tickle my fancy! Good with kids: BBR Policy states no children under the age of 8+ so, my ideal home will have: I don’t do kids. I would prefer a home with adults, and maybe teenagers if they know how to treat me properly. I don’t do loud, obnoxious behavior. It stresses me out. So, if you tend to host a lot of gatherings, or have people constantly coming in and out, this won’t work. Object Aggression: I have zero toy and food aggression. HOWEVER, I have extreme leash aggression. When I see humans while walking, I tend to be very weary of them. My leash makes me feel trapped. I am getting better and better with humans while on my leash each passing day. My foster mom lives in a big apartment building in downtown Columbus, so I am getting lots of socialization. Though, I CANNOT be approached by other dogs when I am on my leash. It causes me extreme anxiety and I get very aggressive. Some good news is that my foster mom took me to a giant enclosed play area the other night, and since I was leash-free, I did wonderfully with all the dogs there. I played with a Great Dane puppy and several other big dogs. I had so much fun, and my foster mom has never seen me so happy and full of joy. Special Needs: I need to be exercised daily, multiple times. I cannot stress this enough. If I do not get enough exercise, I can become destructive. Nothing crazy, but your comforter is fair game is you skip my evening walk. Just ask my foster mom… I also need a joint supplement to help keep these joints young and smooooottthhhhh. I need a high quality, grain free, chicken free, limited ingredient, hard dog food. Medications: I require monthly heart worm, flea, and tick preventative. Crate Trained: Yes! I love to eat and drink water in my crate, but I prefer to be out and about. My foster mom has never crated me, and I have been a stellar boy. My crate is my safe place, so that is why I enjoy dining in there. BBR is PRO-CRATE! Crates keep dogs safe and comfortable and add security. House Trained: I'm fully house trained and proud of it! However, it's important to note that like with all rescue dogs, there could be a period of adjustment and I need time and patience when I arrive in my forever home. Physical Fence Required: Boris will only be considered for a home with a physical fence. Boris needs a space to run and have fun and get exercise without the leash. Boris does demonstrate leash aggression toward other dogs. I need to be on a leash and harness at all times, and you know how I feel about that. So, I would love a yard with a fence! Adoption Donation: TBD Prior to applying to adopt Boris please review our adoption process on our website with rules and process information.

My Ideal Home:
I am incredibly smart, and know several commands: sit, shake, down, stay, speak, back up, kiss, army crawl to name a few. I LOVE practicing with my foster mom and being rewarded with treats. It keeps my mind sharp, and I really enjoy impressing her. I need people who will continue to stimulate me mentally. It’s a big part of who I am.
I do not need attention all day long, but I would prefer a home where my people spend the majority of their evenings and weekends with me. I also miss the companionship of my sister, Margo the Boxer, and may enjoy the company of another bigger dog. (It's not a requirement - just a thought.) I am choosy with dogs, but I think I would do fine with a larger dog, as long as my new parents introduce us sans-leash, practice a slow-introduction, and HAVE THE PATIENCE to help me on my journey.
I cannot stress patience enough. I have been with my foster mommy for four days, and have made great strides. I still miss my old family, and because of this I have not been eating very much. It will take me a long time to adjust. But each day, you will notice small changes, and those changes are why BBR helps dogs like me.
Intake info: Boris is an English Bulldog/French Bulldog mix. He was lovingly surrendered by his family after the family felt that Boris didn't take to the new baby in the home or other dogs in the home. Boris lived with a younger Boxer pup that he turned out to dislike very much. Boris does not like cats, and cannot live in a home with cats.
