About Booker

Booker is a delightful 3-year-old Dachshund mix who weighs 18 lbs and is full of affection. This friendly little guy will warm your heart with the way he gazes up at you, as if you’re the center of his universe. He enjoys being around people but isn't needy; he simply prefers to be close. You might find him peeking out the window while waiting for you to come home, and when you do, he's there to greet you with a wagging tail and a big smile. Cuddling on the couch is one of Booker's favorite things to do. He’ll happily curl up next to you, often rolling over for some much-desired belly rubs. He's playful too — his bursts of excitement lead to adorable zoomies and games with his foster dad. Despite his playful nature, Booker balances it with a relaxed demeanor and loves hanging out quietly while his human works or enjoys their day. Booker is friendly with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful addition to any family. He behaves well around other pets, respects boundaries, and knows how to get their attention when it's playtime. Although he enjoys being active with walks and play, he's a low to medium energy dog, content with leisurely strolls and some backyard play. House trained and comfortable in a kennel, Booker would love a home where he can share cuddles and adventures. He is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for adoption. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle companion who will fill your home with joy, Booker is waiting for you in Corpus Christi, TX. Start your journey together! Apply now.
