About Boaz

Meet Boaz, a 1.5-year-old Labrador Retriever mix with a heart full of love. He’s affectionate and thrives on being close to his family, whether he's lounging at your feet or chewing on his favorite stick. Boaz is eager to learn and is highly food motivated. He’s made significant progress in training, improving his manners and leash skills while building confidence. A structured environment with positive reinforcement helps him thrive. Although he missed some early socialization, he is not aggressive; he just needs time and gentle introductions with other dogs to build his social skills. While Boaz is kid-friendly, he can get a bit too excited, so older children would be ideal as he learns to tone it down. He is fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and in great health after a specialized nutrition plan. Plus, adopting Boaz comes with a lifetime commitment from Sea Dog Animal Training, offering local adopters five free training sessions and virtual consultations for those further away. Boaz is ready to form a lifelong bond with a family willing to invest in him. His adoption fee is $350, and transport options are available. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
