My story

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

A bit bashful Boone here. That name comes from French for “good” and “blessing” and “kind”. This whole shelter thing is new to me so I’m a bit timid but warm up quickly. My walkers say I’m a dream on leash and prefer a nice strolling pace. Once I get to know you, I’ll show you my wiggle and sweet, affectionate well-mannered “good boy” self.

I may need a short transition period as I learn a new routine, but with just a little patience, my affectionate nature will shine through. I’m ready for a second chance at a forever home where I can show my love and be loved. Please check me out and bring the family and other pups for a “Meet & Greet”. If you’re looking for Mr. Mellow, I’m your guy.

A team member shares, "I walked Boone yesterday and what a delightful big boy. His desire for affection made for a great walk. He just soaked up the pets on his chin. The look in his eyes made me realize Boone would easily adapt to a new home with ample affection. Because Boone responds so well to affection I can't imagine he would have a hard time adapting to new surroundings. The way Boone responded to sit and lay down commands, I realized Boone wants to please."
