About Boone

Boone is a charming 1-year-old neutered male Border Collie/Shag mix, ready for adoption in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Despite being surrendered without explanation, he radiates sweetness and obedience, making him a joy to be around. Boone thrives with his dog friends and is not bothered by birds or cats. While he shows some hesitation around horses, with a little patience, he could become a fantastic trail riding companion. This affectionate boy is crate-trained and walks well on a leash. His only quirk is his enthusiastic hugs, which he gives freely with his front paws. We're working on refining that behavior since muddy paws aren't always ideal. With his friendly nature, Boone would fit wonderfully into almost any loving home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
