Boris

Boris is a 5,5-year-old, large (30 kg) castrated male with a story that quietly tugs at your heart. As a tiny puppy (see last photo 😍), he was found alone during a snowstorm, surrounded by bigger, older dogs, and taken to safety. He spent his early years in a dog sanctuary in Turkey, patiently waiting for his chance. Now in the Netherlands, all Boris needs is a forever home and a family to love him.

Boris is a dream housemate. He is fully house trained, can stay home alone without any problems. He understands that indoors is for calm, cozy downtime. While he’s currently not allowed on the couch, the moment cuddles are offered he comes running with pure enthusiasm. If invited, he would happily be your TV-time cuddle buddy, choosing to lie close and soak up the warmth of his humans.

Boris absolutely adores people and thrives on affection, pets, and gentle attention—especially from women.

Boris does best in a quiet household with few people. A busy home with many guests or loud children can overwhelm him. He needs adopters who understand his signals and will provide him with a peaceful retreat where he can relax when things get busy—especially to protect him from people who might pet him too forcefully or without reading his comfort level.

Outside, Boris is confident, joyful, and a pleasure to be with. He walks beautifully on leash and is also very reliable off-leash. He loves adventures in nature—forest walks and beach days are absolute favorites. With other dogs he is playful and polite, particularly fond of female dogs.

If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate companion with a gentle heart and a soulful presence—someone to share quiet evenings, peaceful walks, and a deep connection—Boris may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 🐾💛

PS: Boris is shy to cameras and always pose with an adorable side eye whenever he sees a camera:)

PS: Boris also have a foster home profile because we don’t know for how long his current family can keep him.
