About Boogie

Meet Boogie! This charming three-and-a-half-year-old Dogo Argentino mix is currently living in Amherst, MA. Weighing in at 90 pounds, he has a bold white coat adorned with striking black patches that makes him hard to miss. Boogie’s journey hasn’t been easy. Rescued from a tough situation, he has retained his gentle spirit and love for life. Now, he’s eager for a loving home where he can thrive as someone’s loyal hiking buddy or cuddle companion. His playful nature shines when he splashes in the pool or chases squeaky toys, and he’s well-suited for older kids who can handle his sturdy build and playful energy. While Boogie is affectionate, he has a history of aggression toward other dogs, so he needs to be the only pet in the house. A fenced yard is recommended to facilitate his active lifestyle. He’s house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations, and he picks up commands like “sit” quickly, particularly when treats are involved. Boogie is fine being left alone for short snippets of time, but he flourishes with regular human interaction. His gratitude and loving spirit shine through; he isn’t just looking for a place to stay; he’s searching for a family to love and call his own. If you’re ready to give Boogie a forever home, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information on the adoption process. Remember, Boogie will remain with his current family until they find him a suitable new home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
