About Boo

Meet Boo! Boo is about two years old—a medium-sized mutt with a delightfully indecisive family tree. There could be some Aussie in the mix, maybe a hint of Great Pyrenees if you dig deep enough, or maybe just a dash of scruffy uniqueness. What’s certain is Boo’s got a good-natured and playful approach to life. He’s happiest when engaged, either running around the yard, playing with a toy, or hanging out with someone willing to join in. Boo is housebroken and generally well-mannered, so he’s easy to have around for the right adopter. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those who enjoy play and weigh about the same as he does. Kids over ten will likely find a fun, energetic friend in Boo, but a home with cats is out—he doesn’t pretend to like them and they feel the same about him. Boo will thrive with at least daily walks, solid playtime, and some ongoing basic training to channel all that enthusiasm. There’s a lot of loyal heart packed into this fun, scruffy package. He’s ready for a home looking for a companion who wants to be part of the action. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
