Bocce

Bocce is estimated to be about 8-years-old Norwegian Elkhound with a heart full of love and a mind brimming with intelligence. This handsome guy is not just smart—he's really, really smart! He's also incredibly social and loves to snuggle, making him the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal friend. Bocce's past is a bit of a mystery. He was found as a stray, and despite his beautiful demeanor and loving nature, no one came to claim him. We suspect he may have been abandoned, but that hasn't dampened his spirit. He's a sensitive and loyal dog who thrives on companionship and being close to his person. Life in the shelter has been tough for Bocce. While he has made friends with staff and volunteers, the confinement stresses him out, and he often struggles when it's time to return to his kennel. Outside the kennel, he's a different dog—calm, affectionate, and well-behaved on a leash. Bocce is looking for a loving home where he can finally relax and be himself. If you're searching for a loyal companion who will thank you a thousand times over (or "Tusen Takk," as they say in Norwegian), Bocce is the dog for you. Come meet Bocce and see if he's the missing piece in your life!
