Boris Pug & Chihuahua Mix Studio City, CA

Boris is an adorable pug/chihuahua/terrier mix, about 9 months old. He was rescued from a home where the owner had passed away and the dogs were starving and living in filth. He is shy at first meeting but will warm up to you with a little time and patience.

Boris will happily cuddle with you when he feels comfortable but is also okay sleeping in his bed. He does exhibit some separation anxiety, the Foster Mom is working with him, he is improving but it takes time.

He likes to play and pull stuffing out of toys and enjoys a lively game of tug-of-war. Since he is still a puppy, be sure to keep temptations, like shoes, out of his reach! He gets along well with other dogs, is not eager to engage in play but co-exists well with them.

He had a broken leg that has healed completely and doesn't bother him at all. He has medication for dry eye, which he will be on for his lifetime. He will also need an annual check-up on his eyes. He has a sensitive stomach that is kept in check with the food he is currently eating.

He knows a couple of basic obedience commands as well. He is not completely house trained but is making good progress.
