🌟 Meet Boone, the Big-Hearted Boy who is still waiting for his forever home! 🌟 Now, if loyalty were to have a face, you bet it would look just like Boone's! This gentle giant entered foster care in June of 2024, a lanky, 110-lb bundle of nerves wrapped in sweetness. Eighteen months later, he’s still here, hoping patiently for that special someone who can see past his bark and into the depths of his enormous, goofy, golden heart. Let’s be real—Boone is nothing short of incredible! 🐶❤️ He gets along with canine companions of all sizes, maintains the utmost respect for cats, and is a true gentleman around chickens (the quintessential farm dog!). He’s got a gentle nature; house-trained and not a counter surfer or jumper, Boone can be trusted to roam free in the house without a single destructive act to his name. Plus, he knows all the basics: sit, down, off, and shake! And friendship? Oh, he craves it deeply, thriving on snuggles, affection, and of course, silly antics with his humans. Picture this: Boone surrounded by soft couches, warm beds, and a meticulous schedule of meals that he takes very seriously! 1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, 1st dinner, 2nd dinner... you get the idea! 🍽️😂 However, Boone does have his quirks. 🐕 New people? They make him a bit anxious. And what does that mean? A loud, intimidating bark that can feel overwhelming. But let’s clarify—this isn’t aggression, it’s simply his uncertainty bubbling to the surface! His big bark is just a heartfelt warning to let you know he’s not quite sure who you are yet. Therefore, Boone’s biggest obstacle isn’t him; it’s finding the right home that understands and embraces him as he is. Now, Boone’s dream home would be a serene adult-only space (or with grown children), a cozy oasis without too many visitors buzzing in and out. He longs for a predictable routine and a peaceful environment where he can truly shine. A fenced yard or even a small farmtte would be ideal, allowing him the freedom to express himself without any worries. Someone who works during the day but is also ready to shower him with love and treats would fit the bill marvelous! While he would happily accept a fur brother or sister, he’s also more than content being your one-and-only. Ideal visitors? Those with patience who can come in, take a seat, and let Boone realize they mean no threat. Boone doesn’t need to be remade or “fixed” — he simply needs to be understood. What he desires is someone who appreciates the beauty in a dog that loves deeply, who thrives in routine, and simply wants a cozy, safe nook to call his own. 💖 Some dogs find homes quickly, but Boone is the diamond in the rough waiting for a family that will love him just as he is. If you know a kind soul leading a quieter life who would cherish sharing their home with an endlessly loving, goofy dog, keep Boone in your heart! His rare perfect match may be out there, and it might just be you! Boone has been waiting an incredible 18 months. Maybe he’s been waiting for you. 🕒💞🌈 🏡 Interested in this sweet boy?
