Pet of the Week: Boss just wants someone to spend time with

CULLMAN, Ala. – Time in the yard is one of Boss’ favorite parts of the day, especially when someone he knows is there with him. Shelter life has been hard on this easygoing dog and a familiar face brings him comfort. Boss, The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week, is a Feist mix who is about 4 years old. He has a low energy level and a fondness for a little goat cheese now and then. More than a treat, though, what Boss wants is time with his person. For someone who enjoys quiet company, a visit with Boss at the Cullman County Animal Shelter could start with a simple question for the staff: could you spend a little time together in his favorite spot? Boss’ adoption fee is $130 and includes neutering, vaccinations and microchipping. Visit the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 935 Convent Road NE. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Contact the shelter at 256-734-5448 or cullmananimalshelter@co.cullman.al.us . Has Boss already been adopted? Don’t worry! Many more pets are waiting for their forever homes, and your perfect companion may be among them.
