Meet Bissell!! This sweet boy is actually a land seal, but don't tell anyone, it's his secret. He's disguised himself as a dog, but every so often you'll see him tuck his ears back and go straight into "seal mode". His mission is to sneak his way into your home and your heart.
Bissell is 3 years old and 48 pounds - the perfect size for snuggles if you ask him. He enjoys a good cuddle sesh. He's also sure to cover you in kisses to show his appreciation for your love. He knows sit, and will often do it before he is asked, hoping for a treat! He's a smart guy who's still working on perfecting his leash walking skills (to be fair, seals don't walk on a leash, so we understand his confusion). But he's easy to redirect when necessary and is eager to show off his good boy skills! He has MASTERED the sad puppy dog eye look. If you're trying to convince a partner or family member to adopt a dog/seal just bring them to meet Bissell. He'll be sure to sad puppy dog eye them into agreement. Bissell loves to have his snoot to the ground. He follows his nose and is intrigued by all of the smells.
Bissel has met other dog pals at BARCS, he would do best with a tolerant friend and requests to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.
Haven't you always wanted a part seal part dog in your life? Who wouldn't? Come to BARCS to meet Bissel! He is residing in the back hallway (not in one of the main kennel rooms), so please ask to meet him - it's lonely back there!
