About Boogie

Meet Boogie! This charming three-and-a-half-year-old Dogo Argentino mix is making a name for himself in Amherst, MA. Boogie weighs in at a substantial 90 pounds, and his white coat with striking black patches makes him a true standout. Despite a tough past, he holds onto a gentle spirit and a zest for life. Rescued from difficult circumstances, Boogie is on the lookout for a loving home where he can thrive as someone’s loyal hiking buddy or snuggle partner.

He enjoys spending time with older kids who can keep up with his playful energy. At home, he loves lounging on the couch or exploring the great outdoors, happiest when he’s by your side. While Boogie is house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations, he prefers to be the only pet due to a history of aggression towards other dogs. An active boy like Boogie would benefit from a home with a fenced-in yard, where he can enjoy safe playtime. He does well when left alone for short periods but thrives on consistent human interaction and bonding time. What's truly remarkable about Boogie is his capacity for gratitude and love, even after all he's been through. He’s not just seeking a place to stay; he wants a family to love and protect. For families considering fostering, Boogie's current family is open to that, providing food and supplies to ensure a smooth transition into his next chapter.
