About Booker

Booker is a large Hound mix whose world changed when his family could no longer keep him because of space and time constraints. He’s a striking dog with a gentle heart, but he’s slow to warm up to new people—Booker tends to keep his guard up until he gets to know you. He is the kind of dog who does best in a calm, adult-only home, where patience and steady routines help him feel safe. You’ll want to plan for a handful of low-pressure visits so he can gain trust gradually. Once he lets you in, you’ll find a fiercely loyal companion who craves connection, not chaos. Booker does not get along with dogs, cats, or children, so a quiet, single-pet household suits him best. He’s looking for a home with someone who’s truly ready to make a difference for a misunderstood soul. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
