About Boom

Boom showed up in a good Samaritan’s yard one morning—a little lost, but easygoing enough for the homeowner to keep him contained until help arrived. At the shelter, Boom got his name and started settling in. He’s still very much a puppy, just six months old and full of potential, so he’ll need someone willing to put in the time for training and everyday routines. Boom is currently up to date on all his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. Believed to be a cattle dog mix, he’ll likely mature into a medium-sized dog—big enough for plenty of energy, but manageable around the house. He’s ready for a home where patience and kindness are on offer, along with a good toy or two. Their astrological sign is Scorpio, known for loyalty and spirit. Ready to fall in love?
