About Boomer

Meet Boomer, an energetic and playful pup eager to find a home where he can thrive. At 4 years old, this medium-sized Australian Shepherd mix brings plenty of charisma and intelligence to the table. Boomer is well-behaved on a leash; in fact, he walked a mile like a champ on his first day in foster care. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, though he hasn’t yet shown much interest in playtime. Boomer is food motivated and has already mastered the ‘sit’ command, while ‘lay down’ is next on his list. There's some work to be done on his potty training, but his marking behavior should improve after he’s neutered. Right now, he wears a belly band indoors. While he may bark when crated, he keeps his space tidy and settles in after a bit. Interested adopters or potential fosters can feel free to reach out for a meet-and-greet to learn more about this fantastic guy. Boomer can’t wait to meet you!
