Boone is one of the Spencer County hoarding case dogs that was rescued back in Sept 2024. He has had a rough past, and is trying to work through it, and we are happy to say, he is trying to work through it with the love and support of a foster family. As of June 2025, this is the first home Boone has been in, and they are saying: "Mr. Boone is getting increasingly more comfortable around his foster mom, however not so much around anyone else [although he has let two people pet him]. He always comes when called, loves his doggie snacks and enjoys playing with his foster family's dogs. He still has chewing issues but these continue to decrease with time and he will dig holes outside occasionally, however, if his foster mom is where he can see her, he does not do this. She continues to think that this and his chewing activities are both a result of the stress/fear he seems to feel when his human is gone or out of sight, so he needs plenty of doggie chew toys just for him! Boone is not leashed trained as his foster family is trying, but it's been challenging since he doesn’t want people around him." Boone is a work in progress, and he must to go to a home with a secure above ground fenced in yard as he is a flight risk. He also must go to a home with another stable/confident dog that can help show him that people will be good to him and love him. His confident doggie friends will also help Boone gain his own confidence and help him through his insecurities and show him the ropes. Boone loves to be rubbed and lie next to me. He is house-trained and is an extremely mild mannered boy.
As spring has brought more activity outside from people and animals he has started to bark – he has the best vision & hearing of almost any dog I have ever had – so currently trying to get that under control.
He loves to play with my elderly beagle and has given him a new lease on life. He shakes uncontrollably when I have visitors but has started to let them touch him. He's badly damaged emotionally by his prior environment, and it's awful to think of the terrible lives and abuse he and the others had been subjected to.
Boone has a lot of energy and will be happiest with a very active family. He regularly does zoomies in the yard."
His foster also says he's doing great, but still has a way to go before he'll be walking on leash, but getting healthier by the day and loving life in his foster home, but will be good for him to find his forever family and get on with his new life."
This guy is going to take time to overcome his fears, and he needs love, support, compassion and a family who can give him all of that. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
As we continue to assess the individual needs of these deserving animals, additional information to come, so please check back for more updates...
