Boris is a very sweet, cuddly, and loving puppy. He loves to be on the go with his owner. Boris is very playful and loves car rides, especially if he can fit on your lap and will sneak out the door under your feet to go. Boris gets along well with other dogs and loves to eat tomatoes out of the garden. Boris does require a diaper and belly band at all times due to urinary and fecal incontinence and must be changed multiple times a day to avoid infections and other potential complications. An adopter with previous diaper baby experience is a must! Boris does try to eat things he is not allowed to have such as sticks, acorns, wood, etc. and he will growl and nip at you when you try to take these items away. Boris also tends to resource guard his food. Due to these issues, he will not be able to go to a home with young children.
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
