9-Year-Old Dog Who Spent 280 Days At Shelter Has Only One Wish: To Find Home This Christmas

ADVERTISEMENT

Meet Boss, the senior shelter dog whose only wish for Christmas is that someone adopts him. The 9-year-old pooch found himself homeless when his family couldn’t take care of him anymore. The Staffordshire spaniel mix has spent more than 280 days at the Atlanta Humane Society (AHS). The whole situation was just too heartbreaking for the shelter staff to watch, so they decided to spread the word about the lonely doggie – right in time for Christmas…

“His name, Boss, fits because when we walk around the neighborhood people look at him with respect and admiration because of how dignified he looks… But really his name could be Cupcake … He is sweetness dog-ified,” his foster mom  Deborah Lareau told The Dodo.

According to the latest news, the search for forever home is going really well so far. AHS writes: “He met with a potential new family today and is going to meet two potential dog siblings tomorrow to see how they get along… None of this would have been possible without you all sharing him, and we can’t thank you enough!”. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the doggie and we hope he gets to enjoy plenty of snuggles with his new owners this Christmas.

I adopted an 8 year old Dachshound mix from an animal shelter, it was my best decision. Now she is 10 years old sweetie :) She has doggie friends, lot of love :)

I've had a dachshund ever since I was born. She passed away in June, but I understand how amazingly sweet the breed is.
