About Me
Hi, I’m Boris, a typical Bulldog with a big personality! I love meeting people, getting lots of fuss, scoffing tasty treats, and chasing my tennis ball. I can be a bit strong-willed (it’s a Bulldog thing!), but underneath it all I’m a big softie with a sensitive side who just wants lots of love.
I do have a skin condition that requires daily medication to keep it under control, and I’m really good about taking it as part of my routine.
I’m looking for a new home through no fault of my own. My owner has taken in another dog who struggles with resource guarding, which means I can’t enjoy my favourite things like playing with toys, getting lots of cuddles, or even relaxing around food without causing conflict. I deserve a home where I can be myself, enjoy all the fuss I love, and live a happy, stress-free life.

Ideal Home
Boris would thrive in a home that have had bull dog type dogs before and understand their cheeky characters. He would love someone to give him the time and space to allow him to flourish and get his energy out in a constructive way. He is full of character and needs owners that are strong enough to handle the bull dog strength. He has a lot of love to give to someone willing to give him the time back.
