Bosco

Bosco was abandoned at a rest-stop in Idaho, tied by rope with a bag of food at his side during a very cold spell in January, 2008. Despite being fired on by a BB gun as evinced by the BB pellet our volunteer dislodged from Bosco's snout, this dog is very sweet and likes people. He is approximately 1 year old, and weighs roughly 55lbs with has a trim figure. He may be a wire-hair pointer mix, though his grey-colored coat is soft and cozy, with darker grey ears, and white and grey speckled legs and belly. We're not really sure what breeds comprise Bosco's lineage, and the mix of breeds picked are "maybes" based on how he looks. One man also said Bosco resembles a sheep dog he had a long time ago, before the fur grew out. This funny-looking dog has a face with much character and his eyes follow you in admiration. He is happy with other cats and dogs, too. However, he does like to be dominant, and he got himself nipped once by taking on a Napoleon complex. So he may do better as an only dog or with a dog who likes to act submissively. Bosco is neutered and seems to be house-trained. He's a nice dog but he probably wouldn't be good with kids because he's food-aggressive -- meaning he'll growl if he thinks someone or some dog going to take his food/treats away. The adoption fee will be $ 90 which includes 2 distemper shots, 1 rabies shot , neuter,& health record.
