Boris is our Campus Pet and we LOVE him! During the rainy season, Boris does not get to roam the campus as much as he would like! I seem to find him in his favorite spot in the Lobby of our Health Care Center. Greeting visitors and loving the attention!

Boris belonged to a wonderful neighboring family. Here and there Boris would come and visit to give a friendly hello to all of our residents. Early in the morning Boris would come in, walk up and down from building to building admiring the beautiful campus. Before the day came to an end Boris would make his way back home to his family.
