Boone is the sort of dog who gets you off the couch and then rewards you for it. About 1.5 years old and likely a pointer/pit mix, he weighs 35 lbs and carries an athletic energy that makes every walk, hike, or game in the yard feel more rewarding. He loves being outside for jogs, fetch, or tug-of-war, but his affection for adventure matches his passion for a good snuggle session once the day winds down. Boone is a fast learner: leash manners are coming along, and he's house trained, needing only a secure room when left alone—no crate required. In foster care, Boone’s been gentle and friendly with both senior dogs and cats, as well as a litter of kittens, but bigger, assertive dogs still intimidate him a bit. He can be an only dog or thrive in a home with calm animals after slow introductions. He’s completed some formal training and is attentive when out and about. Boone fits best with an active person or family, ideally with a fenced yard and daily walks or play in the routine. Loyalty, energy, and plenty of affection are guaranteed. Boone is in Louisville, KY, and, as a July 23rd birthday pup, he's a creative and social Leo—no surprise there. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
