Likes: cuddling!! Going for walks (loves to pick up sticks on the walk), attention, being social, treats, loves his Kong toy
Dislikes: receiving medication, doesn`t love cold water, sudden noises he can`t see
What would be the ideal home? A home that can keep up with Bosco`s energy and training. He would love a place to run around to burn his energy. Would benefit from learning basic commands. Would do well in a home where the owner is home often.
Good with other cats? No
Good with dogs? No; would recommend a home with no other dogs as he isn`t properly socialized with them. He becomes very excited when he sees another dog and doesn`t know how to act so he gets frustrated.
Good with children? No children under 14 years, he cane jumpy when excited
Temperament: Friendly, high energy, curious, very social
Motivators? Treats, kibble, toys
Any commands? Sit, learning: down, gentle, leave it, stay, release command to eat
House trained? Yes, but has had accidents in the house. Would benefit from a strict house training schedule/routine.
Crate trained? In the process of training, he`s warming up to it very slowly
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 4 weeks
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? May require long-term anxiety medication, or until he is settled in to a new environment. He does panic sometimes with stuff he isn`t familiar with as he is under socialized for his age. Will get overstimulated on walks sometimes if there is a lot of people or animals around.
