Bo

It's easy to fall for his looks (just wait till you see him in person), but there's a lot more to bodacious Bo than his cute face!

Bo is an 11-month-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who will likely be around 10 pounds full grown. His personality, however, is much bigger than his size. He's a goofy, happy little guy who can switch from play mode to nap mode in record time. He loves zooming around the yard (and fully expects you to join in), and fair warning: he will absolutely run circles around you if given the chance. Bo enjoys playing with other small dogs, does well in his pen (even overnight), and is generally a quiet, easy houseguest.

He's still working on his puppy skills. He knows his name, understands that potty time happens outside, and is very motivated by kibble and treats. He's not fully reliable just yet, so patience and consistency will go a long way as he continues to learn!

Bo can be very sweet and affectionate, but he prefers to come to you on his own terms (aka: cuddles are best when they're his idea). Because of that, he'd likely do best in a home without young kids. While he hasn't been around cats, he does enjoy other small dogs. And that soft, fluffy coat? It will need regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Bo has dry eye syndrome, which means he'll need daily eye drops and ongoing care with a veterinary ophthalmologist to keep his eyes healthy. He usually cooperates, but may add a little drama with some wiggles or grumbles. Thanks to his small size, it's all very doable with the right routine.

This special little guy will thrive with someone patient, understanding, and willing to meet him where he is. In return, you'll get a one-of-a-kind best friend with a big personality packed into a small package. Bo's adoption fee is $300 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Apply to meet Bo at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters.
