About Boris

Boris is an adorable pug/chihuahua/terrier mix, about 9 months old. He was rescued from a home where the owner had passed away and the dogs were starving and living in filth. He is shy at first meeting but will warm up to you with a little time and patience. Boris will happily cuddle with you when he feels comfortable but is also okay sleeping in his bed. He does exhibit some separation anxiety, the Foster Mom is working with him, he is improving but it takes time. He likes to play and pull stuffing out of toys and enjoys a lively game of tug-of-war. Since he is still a puppy, be sure to keep temptations, like your shoes, out of his reach! He gets along fine with other dogs, is not eager to engage in play but co-exists well with them. He had a broken leg that has healed completely and doesn't bother him at all. He is on dry eye medication that he must take for his lifetime and he will need an annual exam on his eyes. He has a sensitive stomach that is kept in check with the food he is currently eating. He is not fully house trained but making good progress. He know a couple of basic obedience commands as well.
