Story

Meet Boomer! An adorable Beagle with all of the quirks of your classic hound. He is a talkative guy, and he'll let you know when he wants to chat. Boom is also the type to chase after little forest creatures outside, which is pretty typical for his breed, he thinks he is just doing his job! Of course his antics are manageable, especially if you have hound experience and are familiar with his funny nature. We think he has the ability to make friends with dogs, but he does like to go slower and on his own terms. He doesn't like when anyone comes on too strong to him. If you are interested in Boomer, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with him at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.
