Meet Boots McGee! This small Jack Russell and Dachshund mix has the heart of a loyal companion packed into a 15-pound frame. Now about four years old and located in Houston, TX, Boots came in as a stray with severe skin issues. He’s handling ongoing dermatology treatments and a special diet like a pro, and he’ll need to stay on this food after adoption to keep his skin and digestion healthy. Boots is also heartworm positive but is already getting treatment and just needs a follow-up check next year. Boots McGee is slow to trust new people but attaches deeply once he feels safe. He’s quirky, devoted, and thrives in a stable setting. Because of a high prey drive and his dislike of other animals, Boots must be the only pet, and he’s best suited for a calm, adult-only home. He’s not yet house-trained and could use work on a leash, but his food motivation means he’s ready to learn with the right patient, experienced adopter. Boots McGee is a true project dog—scrappy, sweet, and ready for someone who sees his worth. He just wants to feel secure and cherished. Ready to give this little guy the stability and care he’s never had? Your new best friend is just one click away.
