About Boogie

Meet Boogie! This charming three-and-a-half-year-old Dogo Argentino mix currently resides in Amherst, MA. Weighing around 90 pounds, his big heart matches his impressive frame. With a striking white coat adorned with bold black patches, Boogie truly stands out. His journey hasn’t been easy, but he’s maintained a gentle spirit and a zest for life. After being rescued from a tough situation, he’s now in search of a loving home where he can be a loyal hiking buddy, snuggle partner, and best friend. Playful and affectionate, Boogie shines brightest while splashing in the pool, chasing squeaky pig toys, or wrapping his giant paws around you for one of his signature full-body hugs! He gets along well with older kids who can match his playful energy. However, he is dog-selective and has shown aggression towards other dogs in the past. Therefore, he needs to be the only pet in his new home. Boogie is house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations. While he hasn’t had formal training, he knows basic commands like sit and learns best with positive reinforcement, especially when snacks are involved. He can be left alone for short periods, but he thrives on consistent human interaction and bonding time. Boogie radiates love and gratitude, proving that he is not just looking for a place to stay but a family to grow with. Could your heart and home be the next stop in Boogie’s remarkable journey?
