Story
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.
