BOSS

Mixed Breed · Male

Boss was thrown over the shelter’s fence by his adopters, who wanted to get rid of him. Luckily, he wasn’t hurt—but when the volunteers arrived at the shelter, he was huddled in a corner. God only knows what he’d been through before ending up there! Boss is a young, cuddly dog with a noble demeanor. When he doesn’t know people yet, he’s a bit timid at first. But as soon as he realizes no one means him harm, he transforms into an adorable dog who just wants cuddles and companionship. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves playing with them. He’s a lively, super-friendly dog—great fun to live with and share all sorts of activities with. Right now, he’s finding it hard to adjust to life at the shelter. The confinement is really tough for him to bear. He cries a lot and isn’t doing well. He urgently needs to find a family that shows him he matters—a family with whom he can share everything: home, lovely walks, games, a bit of training—but above all, lots of love and tenderness. Boss also gets along fine with cats. He’ll adapt to many different situations—as long as he can let off steam and get the attention he deserves!

FR·Show original

Boss a été lancé par dessus la clôture du refuge par ses adoptants qui souhaitent s'en débarrasser. Par chance, il n'a pas été blessé mais il était recroquevillé dans un coin quand les bénévoles sont arrivés au refuge. Dieu sait ce qu'il a pu vivre avant d'arriver à là! Boss est un jeune chien câlin et plein de noblesse. Quand il ne connait pas les gens, il est un peu craintif au début. Mais dès qu'il réalise qu'on ne va pas lui faire de mal, il se métamorphose en un amour de chien qui ne demande que des câlins et de la compagnie. Il est très sociable avec les autres chiens avec lesquels il a du plaisir à jouer. C'est un chien dynamique et très sympa avec lequel il fait bon vivre et partager plein d'activités. Actuellement, il vit difficilement son passage au refuge. L'enfermement est difficile à supporter pour lui. Il pleure beaucoup et n'est pas bien. Il a besoin de trouver rapidement une famille qui lui montre qu'il est important. Une famille avec qui tout partager, maison, belles balades, jeu, un peu d'éducation, mais surtout beaucoup d'amour et de tendresse. Boss est également ok chats. Il pourra s'adapter dans plein de situations pourvu qu'il puisse se défouler et avoir l'attention qu'il mérite!

About BOSS

What life with BOSS looks like

BOSS is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Kahlua in association kahlua.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. Association Kahlua 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 — Association Kahlua 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Association Kahlua 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
