Meet Boris

Meet Boris! Boris is a total ham—big, stocky, and overflowing with personality. He’s the kind of dog who makes instant eye contact, the kind that says “Hi, I’m your new best friend.” He’s incredibly personable and loves being connected to his people, always checking in to make sure you’re still with him. On leash, Boris can get a bit enthusiastic, but if you give a gentle tug back, he’ll glance over at you with those apologetic eyes that make it impossible to stay mad. He truly wants to do right—he’s just excited about life. At playtime, Boris reveals his inner giant kitty. He’s perfectly happy entertaining himself with a ball, gently pawing it around and nibbling it into pieces with great focus and delight. It’s both hilarious and endearing to watch. Water? Boris is all in. Cold days, warm days—if there’s water nearby, he’s leaping in with joy and zero hesitation. Life’s too short not to splash, according to Boris. Most of all, Boris is a big love bug. Handsome, affectionate, and full of character, he’s the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, smiling, and feeling very loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a heart of gold, Boris is ready to win you over. Call the Ranch today to meet Boris and see if you’re the confident leader he’s been waiting for!
