Bosco adoptieren

Bosco was caught by a doggy trap while the rescue team was actually looking for another lost dog, and accidentally came across Bosco, skinny as a skeleton, terribly frightened and exhausted from the rough life in the wilderness. We believe Bosco has met the typical fate of a local hunter's dog, abandoned or maybe he managed to escape something even worse. But we do know that Bosco is a very sweet dog with an open heart, and even though he had to be caught with a trap, he is actually not fearful of humans at all, just of scary situations. He comes to you, looks for closeness, and stays near you when he has found safety with you. He is mostly scared of the scary environment around, but not of the humans, which means that for Bosco we are looking for a stable home with a slow-paced routine and not too many changes in daily life. Bosco would not like to live in a busy environment like the city, but a quieter suburban town would not be a problem, once he has been introduced to the streets and knows all is safe. Bosco loves to live with other dogs, they give him confidence, security and they make him happy! He would like to live in a home close to the nature, where there is already one or more kind dogs waiting for him, he is very submissive with other dogs. Bosco is a very loving dog and he will show it more and more while he grows his confidence - in the past few months, he has been out of the shelter with volunteers, and he honestly surprised us with how well he did. At first he needs a bit of support to get into the car, but once he is in, he relaxes and lays calmly. While out for adventures, he is happy, curious, and not afraid to explore. He even approached strangers to sniff them and wagging his tail all the time. Bosco walks very nicely on the leash, and only pulls a bit when he gets nervous, around busy main streets or loud children’s playgrounds. He does not panic or jump, and generally loud noises to not startle him, it’s more about many things happening at once. In the moments that Bosco is unsure, he is easily reassured and relays a lot on his human as well. He gains confidence again quickly, and continues to enjoy the adventure! He loved walking and exploring on the beach and showed friendly interest in other dogs. He does have quite some prey drive when it comes to birds, so he shouldn’t live next to a bird sanctuary. His shoulder height is about 52cm. Medical note: Bosco is on a grain-free diet due to a potential gluten intolerance.
