Looking for Calm, Cozy, and Completely Loveable? Meet Boca!

  Say hello to Boca!

  Looking for a mellow, loving companion who will happily hang out with you during Netflix nights, garden breaks, or leisurely strolls? Boca might just be your perfect match. This sweet, handsome German Shepherd mix has a calm, confident personality and a heart as big as his 80-pound frame. But don’t just take our word for it… he wants to tell you all about himself:

 Hello! I’m Boca — Your Netflix & Chill Doggo! Looking for a laid-back, gentle companion? Someone to keep you company during Zoom calls or while you garden, and join you on relaxed daily strolls that remind you to slow down and enjoy the little things in life?

 Well…you may have just hit the doggo jackpot. I’m Boca, a sweet, handsome, mellow, and confident 9-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 80 pounds — just a big boy with the heart of a baby.

 When you meet me, I’ll greet you politely and calmly then go about my business. No excited jumping, no barking, and no lunging for attention.

 But once we start spending time together, you’ll quickly discover my favorite pastime: following you around and keeping you company. Especially if you happen to slip me a treat now and then (shhhh… just our little secret ), which I’ll take from your hands gently.

 And when the moment is right, I’ll happily sit beside you for some head scratches and back rubs. Ah… the simple things in life.

 Another one of my favorites? Stuffies!!! — especially the ones with squeakers inside. Toss one my way and you’ll see me bound after it like a puppy, scoop it up, and proudly carry it around to show off my prize.

 I also love going on short sniffaris to lose some weight and get fit! I have a cute little white stripe on my belly, and there’s a running joke at the shelter that it marks the spot where my waistline will be once I reach my target weight. I get a little excited about all the interesting pee-mails along the way and may pull a bit toward them, but I’d welcome you to help me learn how to walk politely by your side.

 I’m also a bit of a shelter “pup-parazzi.” My eyes light up and my ears twitch like cute little radar dishes as I take in all the shelter action.

 When I spot another dog, I like to give a hearty “Hello!” to see if they might be interested in a conversation. I can be selective about my doggo friends, so if you already have a pup at home, please bring them for an on-leash meet-and-greet to see if we get along.

 If you’re looking for a laid-back cuddle buddy, I’m your guy. Nothing would make me happier than offering you my sweet, steady companionship. I promise to be your loyal shadow, best buddy, and biggest fan. Please, won’t you come see me?"

  Could Boca be the laid-back, loyal companion you’ve been dreaming of? Don’t wait—come meet him at the East County Animal Shelter and see for yourself how wonderful he is!
