Boris

Boris has been at Homeless Hounds for a short time and has become a firm favourite with our volunteers. He recently spent a short time in a foster home to recover from an operation and he proved to be such a good boy in the home. He also loved the couch that much he was named the couch potato!

Boris is a very lovely, sweet natured boy. He loves to play with a ball and gentle tug of wars with rope toys, but doesn’t snatch toys. He knows all the basic commands, including: ‘sit’, ‘paw’, ‘lie down’, ‘wait’ and when he’s playing with a ball, if you say ‘drop’, he drops it at your feet. He also walks nicely on the lead, but can show interest when he sees other dogs. Some dogs he reacts to and some he doesn’t, so for this reason, we feel Boris should not be re-homed with other dogs.

In enclosed, secure areas, when he is off lead, his recall is great and he responds to “Boris, here!” He enjoys playing fetch and likes to please. He also has a very affectionate side and bonds quickly with those who spend time with him. He’s a little underweight at the moment, so we’re working on getting him to a healthy weight. Boris has a medium energy level, he would require at least one or two good walks a day and some play time, but he will also chill and roll on his back for belly rubs. Overall, he’s a lovely, intelligent boy and would thrive in a stable home environment.
