While he enjoys the company of other friendly dogs, Boone cannot live with cats, as he tends to chase them. Because of his size and enthusiastic greetings, older children would be a better fit for his future home, as he might accidentally knock over younger kids. Boone is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he's eagerly waiting to become part of a new loving family. If you’re a Capricorn, you share a sun sign with Boone! Capricorns are known for being hardworking and loyal, just like him. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
