About Boyle

Boyle starts off reserved around newcomers, but it doesn’t take long for his sweet and affectionate side to show. He’s eager to please and has a knack for picking up on routines, mastering tasks like waiting patiently for meals, using the doggy door, and handling house training like a pro. Athletic with long legs, he loves being outdoors and is always up for an adventure—he has a particular fondness for water. At about 47 pounds and likely around two years old in March 2026, Boyle is well-suited for an active home ready to match his curiosity. He is leash trained and a reliable partner on walks, though off leash he’ll wander a bit before circling back. Boyle genuinely enjoys car rides—he’ll happily hop in and settle for any journey. Boyle plays especially well with Nicolage, a related and more outgoing rescue dog, and would thrive with another dog companion but also enjoys one-on-one time. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and house trained. Boyle is currently in Chinle, AZ and is available through Blackhat Humane Society. Ready to fall in love?
