AvailableBoots is a large, short-coated black and white (tuxedo) domestic short hair male living in Los Angeles, CA. He’s 11 years and 4 months old, neutered, vaccinated, and house trained. Boots has special needs due to IBD, requiring a prescription diet, but with proper care, he enjoys daily life without issue.
About Boots
Boots, a tuxedo gentleman, knows what he likes—sunny naps, scheduled meals, and a cozy spot nearby while you work or relax. He’s picky about affection: for chin and head scratches, he's all in, and will hunt you down at mealtime for butt scratches, but don't even think about picking him up. Boots is an expert in setting boundaries, keeping life on his terms. Expect him to keep you company as a loyal sleep companion, alert at your side through the night, and ready to 'alarm' when breakfast is overdue. Though usually laid back, Boots has bursts of energy for string toys and his favorite nip-soaked lamb chop. He gets along with some cats (has been patient with his foster brother) but is likely to do best as the only animal in a quiet home, especially one without young children or too much commotion. Loud sounds—trucks, fireworks, brooms—rattle him, so a calm environment suits him. He has a clear way of showing gratitude: the occasional kiss, a solid head bump, or a perfectly placed belly mark on your best cushion after movie night. Boots has inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but manages well as long as he stays on his prescription food—no surprises to worry about. If you're looking for a relaxed, independent companion who offers affection on his own terms, Boots will be a loyal, amusing friend for years to come. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
