BOSS

Male · Senior · 15 years

mixed breed tosa inu, american staffordshire terrier, rhodesian ridgeback (weight 30 kg) at shelter since October 12, 2014, caught in Zhoři, located by the municipality of Kostelec u Stříbra. Hold a living creature in your hands, feel how pleasant it is, feel its heartbeat, accept its trust, that at least means understanding that we are of the same blood. It is an acceptance of life...it is the end of loneliness. A strong, muscular and majestic friend who is always near you, always watching your eyes to see if they smile or cry...it is a lifelong friend...a friend who will never leave you and will have a heart full of love and no matter what happens, he will always forgive you. A person has knocked him down many times and yet he gets up from the bottom. We are looking for new love, new support for him, which will show him that home is beautiful. He would like to be on a garden next to a family house, where he can relax and continue sunbathing his belly - like a single dog. He likes to guard, he likes to have his home under supervision, he likes to see the postman off, on the other hand, he is not a yapper who will follow every passerby. Due to the fact that he has short fur and no undercoat, his master must give him only warmth, for example on a sheepskin rug by a warm fireplace. Being locked up in an apartment and classic apartment rituals would probably not cope with - he is very clean and does not destroy anything, but he would rather prefer the garden. He suits people who like to take him for a walk, sometimes drive him in a car, give him a family picnic with three. He has no problem with people, he just needs to get used to them and watch them, then usually comes the phase of showing off - he brings toys, balls and makes a jester of himself. When there are no games, he shows off by offering paws, begging or presenting his back for scratching. He is simply a social dog and when a two-legged being does not cooperate, he wrinkles his brows in concern - and those may soften even a rock. Despite being social and people-oriented, we do not recommend him to small children - his ears are sometimes painful (they never reach the stage of healthy ones) and if a child pulls or steps over him, he certainly will not like it. The new family must go into adoption with the understanding that they have a social dog, to a reasonable indulgence. He does not like rough handling such as picking up in arms, forcing into activities he doesn't want to do, bathing and the like. He is trained and knows many commands, he is incredibly intelligent and quickly learns new things and commands, with positive motivation everything goes faster. Ears are the result of a sick thyroid gland. Takes medication Letrox and Apoquell. With an adoption fee of 2500,- (Vaccinated with combined vaccine, regularly dewormed, microchipped, neutered, the dog will receive medical documentation and medication that must be used long-term - there is enough of them).

kříženec tosa inu, americký stafordšírský teriér, rhodéský ridgeback (váha 30 kg) V útulku od 12. října 2014, odchycen ve Zhoři, umístěn obcí Kostelec u Stříbra. Držet v rukou živého tvora, poznat, jak je příjemný, pocítit tlukot jeho srdce, přijmout jeho důvěru, to přinejmenším znamená pochopit, že jsme jedné krve. Je to přitakání životu...je to konec osamělosti. Statný, osvalený a majestátný přítel, který je vám vždy na blízku, vždy pozoruje vaše oči zda se usmívají, zda nepláčou...jde o přítele na celý život...o přítele, co si od vás nikdy neodsedne a bude mít srdce plné lásky a ať se děje co se děje, on vám vždycky odpustí. Člověk ho mockrát srazil k zemi a on se přesto ze dna zvedl. Hledáme pro něj novou lásku, novou oporu, která mu ukáže, že doma je krásně. Líbilo by se mu na zahrádce u rodinného domečku, kde si bude vegetit a pokračovat v opalování břicha - jako pes jedináček. Rád střeží, rád má svoje doma pod dohledem, rád vyprovodí pošťáka, na druhou stranu však není uštěkanec, co vám půjde po kotnících každého kolemjdoucího. Vzhledem k tomu, že má krátké chloupky a nemá žádnou podsadu, spaní mu pán musí dopřát jedině v teple, na kožešince třeba z berana a u rozpáleného krbu. Zavírání v bytě a klasické bytové rituály by asi nezvládl - je sice velice čistotný a nic neničí, raději by ale zahrádku. Hodí se k lidem, co ho rádi vytáhnou na špacír, svezou občas autem, dopřejí mu rodinný picnic ve třech. Nemá problém s lidmi, musí si na ně zvyknout a okoukat, pak většinou nastává fáze předvádění se - nosí hračky, míčky a dělá ze sebe šaška. Když se hrací radovánky nekonají, tak se předvádí podáváním paciček, žebráním nebo nastavuje zadek k drbání. Je to prostě pes společenský a když dvounožec nespolupracuje, krčí na něj ty své vrásky ze starostlivosti - a ty snad rozněžní i skálu. Přesto, jak je společenský a lidumil, nedoporučujeme k malým dětem - bolí ho občas uši (nikdy se nedostanou do fáze zdravých) a kdyby ho dítě zatahalo nebo přes ně pláclo, určitě by si to líbit nenechal. Nová rodina musí jít do adopce s tím, že má pejska společenského, do nepohody k rozumnému pomazlení. Nemá rád hrubé manipulace jako braní do náručí, nucení do činností, které se mu dělat nechtějí, koupání a podobně. Je vycvičený a umí spoustu povelů, je neuvěřitelně inteligentní a rychle se učí novým věcem a povelům, s pozitivní motivací jde vše navíc rychleji. Uši jsou následek nemocné štítné žlázy. Užívá léky Letrox a Apoquell. S adopčním poplatkem 2.500,- (Naočkován kombinovanou vakcínou, pravidelně odčervován, načipovaný, vykastrovaný, pes s sebou dostane lékařskou dokumentaci a výbavu léků, kterou musí dlouhodobě užívat - je jich dost).

About BOSS

What life with BOSS looks like

BOSS is a small senior dog waiting at Útulek Tachov (U Šmudliny) in Tachov-Tachov 1.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇿Adopting from Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting BOSS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BOSS?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Tachov (U Šmudliny) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BOSS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BOSS if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Tachov (U Šmudliny) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is BOSS already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if BOSS isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Útulek Tachov (U Šmudliny) early rather than rehoming privately; they know BOSS and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (CS). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
