Story
Boobah is the fluffy little best friend you didn’t know you needed! He’s a mix of Australian Shepherd and cattle dog, he’s 11 weeks old and was going to be dropped off at the Humane Society because he’s slightly deaf! Of course we couldn’t have that, so a rescue volunteer brought him in to Big bones to find a family. He he’s a great dog, being partially deaf won’t stop him from having a fantastic life - he loves to follow you around for chores and checks in by looking up at you often (as any farm dog would) so he will be easy to train as he checks in naturally - and of course he’s cute as a button! If you think you’d like to meet him, please apply today!

Story
Meet Jacqui — a high-energy sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This fun-loving girl is always ready for action and brings enthusiasm to everything she does. When she gets excited (which is often!), she can be a bit jumpy and mouthy, but it’s all part of her playful, spirited nature. With continued training and positive outlets for her energy, she’ll thrive and show just how wonderful she can be. Jacqui would do best in a home with kids 7 and older who can understand her bouncy play style. She’ll need a cat-free home, as she thinks chasing them is way too much fun. An active family who can provide plenty of exercise, structure, and love will be the perfect match for this sweetie pie. If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate companion who will keep life exciting and fill your home with joy, Jacqui is ready to meet you!
