About Bo

Bo is a wonderful mix of breeds, currently in foster care. He has shown resilience despite a rocky past with previous fosters and adopters. Bo thrives in an environment with experienced dog handlers, as he responds well to commands and has an easy-going demeanor. His playful, rough-and-tumble style can be a bit much for smaller dogs, so supervision is key when he's around them. While he loves the company of his canine companions, his ideal home should be active and include more men, as he becomes excited in new situations. He is house trained and crate trained, quickly refocusing on commands and showing impressive obedience. Although Bo enjoys being around kids, a home with children 12 and older is best for him. If you're knowledgeable about dog behavior and are ready to give Bo the love he deserves, this could be a great match. Bo is currently fostered in Bradenton, FL. What are you waiting for?
