About Boone

Boone has just arrived with us after being transported from a busy shelter. We’re still learning about him, so details about his past are limited for now. Our dedicated staff will work with him to get to know his personality before updating his profile. Initial interactions with other animals are pending veterinary clearance. While we can't confirm Boone's training with house, crate, or leash skills yet, we suggest that potential adopters complete an adoption questionnaire if interested. Remember, our adoption process is first-come, best-match, and we're unable to hold animals. Everyone in your household, including kids and any other dogs, should meet Boone to ensure a good fit. If it all goes well, we can usually arrange for a same-day adoption! Our adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and more, along with a starter bag of food to help you get settled together. Ready to meet Boone? Apply to start the adoption process.
