My personality

My story

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

ADOPT BOONE 💙💙💙

LIFE DIDN’T START GENTLY FOR BOONE...
He arrived small enough to be wrapped in a blanket and carried like something breakable—4 months old, 11 pounds, ribs too easy to count, skin angry and sore, parasites stealing what little nourishment his body had managed to hold onto.
And then something shifted.
A foster said yes.
And held him.
And kept showing up.
Fast-forward, and Boone is no longer asking the world if he’s allowed to be here.
He’s announcing himself.
Now a sturdy, handsome 50 pounds and just over a year old, Boone moves through life like a true party starter—bounding forward with confidence, joy first, questions later. He’s the dog who assumes you want to play because… why wouldn’t you? He loves other dogs of all sizes, launches into games with wholehearted enthusiasm, and brings that contagious, young-dog happiness wherever he goes.
✨ What you’re gonna love about Boone✨
🏡 House-trained
📦 Crate-trained—quiet and will kennel himself (especially if treats are involved)
🚶 Walks well on leash
🐾 Playful, fun, and full of joy
🐶 Dog-friendly—loves dogs of all sizes and thrives on play
🧠 Smart & food-motivated
❤️ Sweet and oh so affectionate
✨ What Boone needs ✨
🏡 A secure, fenced yard where he can safely stretch those long legs
🩺 An adopter with a solid veterinary history
⏳ A little patience when adjusting to new surroundings (understandable for a dog who learned early that the world could be unpredictable)
👩 He warms faster to women than men, but sweetness is his default setting once trust clicks into place.
This is a dog who didn’t just survive—he bloomed.
Boone is ready for his forever home now. Ready for a yard, a couch, a family, a life that keeps choosing him back.
✨ Ask about our January adoption specials!
Includes neuter, vaccines, microchip, deworming, heartworm test & prevention, flea/tick treatment.

Boone has done the hard part.
Now he just needs someone to say, “Come on, Boone. Let’s go home.”
