Boris's Story

As I was walking through the kill shelter, Boris caught my eye. His time in the shelter had run out and I knew that if I didn’t get him out, nobody would. Boris was covered in horrific injuries, pieces of his skin had been cut off by a knife. Even after suffering such horrible abuse, Boris adores human companionship and is upbeat and friendly. After months of care, he is now at a healthy weight and his skin has healed up quite nicely although there are some cuts that will forever stay. I hope he will be adopted by a family that loves him, cuts and all. He is a very loving boy that deserves a great home!
