A Little Bit About Me…

A staff member writes: Meet Bosco- a handsome, distinguished older gentleman!  He may be 13 years old, but hes still got a lot of love to give!  Bosco found himself at ACC because his owner passed away.  It is reported to us that he doesn’t bark a lot, and is a very gentle dog.

 

Playgroup Notes: Bosco has spent time in the home around another dog and he was respectful and played gently with him.  5/24: When off leash at the Care Center, Bosco greets a novel female with a neutral posture, and a low tail wag. He exchanges a few genital and muzzle sniffs then mostly just wanders the yard exploring.
