About Boone

Meet Boone! Boone is an adventurous, approximately 14-week-old and 18-pound boy, likely a mix of Black Mouth Cur and Labrador Retriever. Rescued alongside his siblings and mother after wandering in a rural Oklahoma town, Boone is starting to embrace life indoors and discover the joy of being a puppy. Sharing a foster home with his sister Daisy, Boone often relies on her for security as he learns to trust humans. He is more reserved than Daisy but has a heart full of potential. He craves companionship and affection. Boone needs a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time and tenderness, allowing him to open up at his own pace. This sweet puppy is becoming a typical, playful pup, enjoying his fenced backyard and getting into little mischiefs with Daisy. A friendly, confident canine companion would greatly help Boone adjust and grow into a well-rounded dog. With guidance and love, Boone is on the path to becoming a loyal and devoted friend. Could you provide Boone with the patience and love he needs to thrive? Watching him discover the beauty of trust will certainly be a rewarding experience.
