BoCephus is still on the adoption list! Unfortunately, he cannot stay with us for much longer. He needs a place with lots of room to run around. Bo is super sweet and he needs a place to run. He currently lives in an apartment and spends most of his time in a cage or inside. A place with lots of land or big animals would do him good!
