About Boomer

Boomer is the perfect companion for hound lovers, having been abandoned on a farm when his previous family moved. An Animal Control Officer stepped in to care for him until he could be rescued, noting that he’s an easy-keeper. Currently, Boomer is being treated for heartworm at a loving foster home in Virginia. He enjoys lounging in the sun, relaxing on the floor, or curling up in his crate. A leisurely stroll around the yard captures his interest, and he gets along well with calm, older dogs. This friendly fellow loves to lend a hand in the kitchen, especially if there's chili or scalloped potatoes to be cleaned up. Boomer is around 4 years old, neutered, and weighs about 75 lbs. He'll be ready for his forever home in Massachusetts by late August. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
