Though Boogie has faced challenges in his past, his gentle spirit and love for life have endured. Rescued from a tough situation, Boogie is eager for a fresh start in a loving home. He dreams of being the ultimate hiking buddy and full-time companion, known for his goofy antics whether he's splashing in the pool or chasing squeaky toys. With older kids who can match his playful spirit, he forms close bonds and shares joyful moments, whether lounging on the couch or exploring the outdoors together. Boogie is select about his canine friends and has displayed aggression towards other dogs in the past, requiring him to be the sole pet in his household. Ideally, he needs a secure fenced yard for exercise and play, as apartment living wouldn't suit his energetic nature. He’s house-trained, neutered, and up to date with vaccinations. While he's learned basic commands like ‘sit’, he thrives with positive reinforcement, especially when snacks are involved. Eager for connection, he enjoys short periods alone but flourishes with consistent human interaction. Boogie’s heart is as big as he is, radiating love and gratitude. His current family is dedicated to helping him transition smoothly into his new forever home, providing food and supplies as he searches for a family to love and protect.
