Boaz means strong and steadfast and I am both! Even though I was abandoned, I hold no grudges. I stayed until I was rescued, regardless of the circumstances. Now, I'm on the search my true forever family. I'm about 8-months-old, 55-pounds, a potty-training champ, who whines in my kennel until I settle, and I'm pretty good on my leash. I would love another kind, similar-sized dog in my forever home, along with humans who love us like family should. I do admit that I have very little sense of personal space, so my canine sibling(s) will have to be patient as I continue to learn. I haven't been around kids yet, but I would guess that I might knock over tiny ones. A fenced yard will be important so we can play, play, play, then snuggle, snuggle, snuggle. I could even be a shotgun rider in a big rig, as long as I get ample exercise and our home base has what we need. I learned 'sit' in no time at all, and the routine in my foster home extremely quickly. The sky is probably the limit as to how much, and how quickly, I can learn everything!! I know I am the missing piece that will make my forever family whole.
