About Bo

Meet Bo! Bo has come a long way since arriving at our rescue. Initially scared and severely underweight at just 58 pounds, he’s now a healthy 84 pounds, filled with enthusiasm and a love for tennis balls. His wonderful foster family has helped him discover the joys of life, including outdoor adventures, truck rides, and splashing in water. This affectionate and goofy Hound/GSD mix has a special knack for forming bonds. Bo enjoys being around his humans and has done well with cats, rabbits, and even deer. He’s smart and likes to stay close, but he’s still working on his anxiety and learning to settle independently. A patient foster family can help him continue to build his confidence while offering the consistency he needs. Now, all he needs is a forever family who appreciates his playful spirit—preferably one with a good throwing arm. Start your journey together! Apply now.
