My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BO***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com---BO'S STORY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT BO'S FAMILY HAD JUST SURRENDERED HIM TO HER SHELTER. THE FAMILY WALKED IN, TIED BO TO A POLE, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING HIM UP AND WHEN THE DIRECTOR ASKED WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING BO, THE REPLIED "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR HIM, WE DON'T WANT HIM!!!". THE FAMILY TURN AND LEFT NEVER EVEN SAYING GOODBYE TO BO. THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT BO STOOD LOOKING OUT THE SHELTER WINDOW WATCHING AS HIS FAMILY DROVE AWAY. HIS TAIL WAS WAGGING AS IF HE KNEW THEY WERE COMING BACK FOR HIM, THEY DIDN'T!!! "THIS IS THE SWEETEST FELLOW, HE IS SO GENTLE AND LOVING. HE WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY FAMILY. HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE. WE ARE EXTREMELY FULL, CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS HER PLEA TO US. ALL IT TOOK WAS ONE PICTURE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WHEN WE SAW BO WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, GAVE HIM A TREAT AND HIS TAIL HASN'T STOP WAGGING. BO PRANCED RIGHT OUT OF THE SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES SPARKLING ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE. WHEN OUR DIRECTOR OPENED HER CAR DOOR BO GAVE HER A LICK ON HER HAND, MAYBE THIS WAS HIS WAY OF THANKING HER!!! BO*****GENTLE--LOVING--WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE!!!!" BO IS ABSOLUTELY THE SWEETEST, 1 YEAR OLD, 45 LB(AND GAINING), YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE BO BECAUSE ONE LOOK AT THAT FACE AND YOU'LL BE A GONNER!!! THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR ATTENTION IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A WARM SUN-KISSED CHAMPAGNE COLOR, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB BO ALL DAY AND AS MUCH AS BO LOVES PATS AND ATTENTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HE SOAKS UP EVERY MOMENT WHEN GIVEN HUGS, TREATS AND KISSES. HIS FACE IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE "HUGE" A RICH, DARK CHESTNUT COLOR WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION. BO GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD "COMPANION". HE IS DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, DEVOTED AND EXTREMELY LOVING, EASY GOING, A JOY TO BE AROUND. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH HIS FAMILY. BO ALSO ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, HIS ONLY REQUEST IS THAT THEY WILL PLAY WITH HIM(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH BO JUST TAKE HIM ALONG. HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING WALK TO THE PARK, JUST A CHANCE FOR BO TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN DON'T LET BO HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR KEYS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG, JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR, IN BO WILL HOP, HE WILL FIND HIS SEAT TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "OK I'M READY LET'S GO " LOOK. BO'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES. BO IS WHAT WE CALL A "GO WITH THE FLOW DOG", A LOVING, SWEET FELLOW. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS COMPANION PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH BO, THIS IS ONE SMART LAB!!! HE IS ALWAYS ALERT AND IN-TUNE TO HIS SURROUNDINGS. A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN LEARNING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM. HE FINDS NEW THINGS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. HE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE WHEN HE KNOWS HE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASES THOSE HE LOVES, THIS PUP IS EAGER TO PLEASE, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL GUY. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES WITH PATS--HUGS--FUN--PLAY--TRAINING-- BUT MOST OF ALL AND MOST IMPORTANT FILL THIS PUP'S BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR BO WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH HIM BUT ALSO CHILDREN WHO WOULD ENJOY QUIET TIME WITH BO WHILE THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK OR WATCH A MOVIE, A FAMILY WHO WOULD INCLUDE BO IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE. YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY BO IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A GENTLE, LOVING GUY WHO IS DEVOTED TO HIS FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. BEING PART OF A FAMILY IS THE ONLY LIFE BO HAS KNOWN, THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. BO IS A LOVING, HAPPY PUP WHO'S ONLY WISH IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. IF THE "COMPANION" YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS GENTLE--AFFECTIONATE--DEEPLY TRUSTING, WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING, LOVING HIS FAMILY AND A PUP WITH THE MOST ADORABLE "LOVE ME" FACE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER BO IS YOUR PUP!!!
