About Boots

Meet Boots! Boots is a joyful three-and-a-half-year-old Boxer and Labrador Retriever mix currently in Amherst, MA. With her bright spirit and mostly white coat, she’s a walking bundle of sunshine. Weighing around 60 pounds, this medium-sized girl is a perfect blend of playful energy and heartfelt devotion. Boots loves her stuffed animals and rope toys. She enjoys dashing around the yard, her happy bounce unmistakable. Being house-trained and crate-trained, she confidently knows how to sit. Her friendly nature makes her compatible with kids, cats, and other dogs, especially enjoying the company of teens who can match her lively enthusiasm. Car rides are another favorite for her. Boots’ personality is delightfully goofy! One side of her face shows a boxer-like expression, while the other has the charming effects of facial nerve damage caused by distemper as a puppy. This gives her an endearing grin. Although she has had most of her teeth removed and may need ongoing dental care, she eats, plays, and snuggles with joyful abandon. Loud noises can make her a bit uneasy, so continued positive reinforcement training would help build her confidence and polish her manners. She flourishes in an active environment with a pet parent who loves walks and playtime. After a day of fun, she’s happiest curled up on the bed or relaxing in her kennel, content to be near her people. Boots is ready to find a loving home filled with laughter and affection. Are you ready for a loyal companion who will keep you smiling every day? Click apply to start the adoption process.
