Story
Dog Name: Boomer
Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog
Sex: M
Age: 6mos
Weight: 35lbs but could stand to gain a few!
Medical Needs: Upcoming neuter appointment on 11/14 in Georgetown, DE at BVSPCA.Keeping this appointment is a condition of adoption. It will not be moved, so if you’re not willing to keep it, please do not apply. Applicants must either live in Delaware, or within 1 hour of where the appointment is scheduled to be eligible to adopt this dog
Housebroken: In progress! Boomer holds it all night in his crate like a good boy and immediately goes when outside, but he's had a few tinkles in the house. He just needs some practice, he hasn't learned to tell us he needs to go but he's a smart guy so should get there soon!
Crate trained: Yes! He may sing to you a tiny bit when first placed in but settles quick. He sleeps all night and will let you know if you're late for his breakfast in the morning
Good in the car: Yes, he's only been in the car with me once or twice but was a gentleman both times.
Good on a leash: In progress, he's a bit of a puller but redirects easily. Should learn with practice as he's still a puppy.
Energy level: Puppy! Play hard nap hard.
Need a fenced in yard: No, as long as he'll get enough exercise in other ways.
Dog Friendly: Yes!If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No, but he would LOVE it.
Cat Friendly? Yes, but playful. My cat is dog savvy and just stares at him while he sniffs her, he would absolutely try to play with one that has less dog experience and runs from him, though
Kid Friendly: Unknown as I don't have kids but Boomer is a very sweet boy so probably just fine.If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 6-8ish and up, Boomer could knock over littles without trying to because he gets excited when playing.
Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?
When I tell you Boomer is sweet as candy , I mean it. This little guy has SO much love to give in that little wiggly body of his. He loves to give you a gentle hug and a kiss (we're working on getting love with all four paws on the ground!). This guy loves to play with toys, go on walks and be your little shadow. It's hard not to immediately fall in love with this adorable little guy, he's a charmer! Boomer is very smart and knows 'sit', 'lay down' and is working on 'paw' and 'stay'. He is incredibly intelligent (more than he likes to let on ) and will test you to see what he can get away with by distracting you with that cute little face! With a confident leader who shows him the rules, he will let you be the boss. I can bet he is going to be an amazing, loyal, lovable family dog!
Foster’s location: Long Neck/Millsboro, DE
