He knows “sit” like a pro, offers an enthusiastic “shake,” and even takes breaks by flopping down at your feet with his toy for a quick breather. He loves people and settles easily when it’s time for a nice break.
Boda may be a big ol’ guy (with a little drool to prove it!), but he’s also an easygoing, confident sweetheart who’s ready for his forever home. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate best friend with great manners and an even bigger heart, come meet Boda and see why he’s such a good boy.
