🏡 Good with dogs, cats, and kids?
Yes! He has done well with everything he has met so far. He absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs.
🩺 Aggression or medical issues?
None known. He had a wound when pulled from Columbia Animal Services, but it is nearly entirely healed and requires no further care.
📖 Reason for rehoming/adoption:
Boomer was found as an injured stray and pulled from Columbia Animal Services so he could receive medical care and desperately needed grooming due to severe matting.
🏠 House/crate trained?
Yes! He does great in a crate, though honestly he does not even appear to need one.
💙 Personality / Additional Info:
Boomer is an extremely friendly, gentle, and well-mannered dog. He walks phenomenally on leash (off-leash reliability has not been tested). He is an absolute dream for grooming, including nail trims.
He has stayed off furniture so far, does not destroy toys, and instead likes collecting them and placing them in his bed. (I have yet to actually see him PLAY with the toys; he just likes gathering them all together 😂)
He is still getting used to car rides. He does fine overall, but you can tell he is unfamiliar with them. He won’t jump in/out on his own yet and tends to stand during the ride because he looks unsure/uncomfortable.
✨ He is non-shedding.
⚠️ PLEASE be aware of grooming needs & expenses BEFORE inquiring. ⚠️
This will be the first thing I ask potential adopters about.
Dogs with this coat type require:
✂️ Professional grooming every 4–6 weeks
🪮 Daily brushing/combing
This maintenance is NOT optional. Matting becomes painful very quickly.
You can learn to groom at home, but it requires a major time commitment, proper equipment, and dedication. For reference, it took me approximately 6 combined hours just to remove the matting from his coat and get him cleaned up, and that did NOT include a bath or blow dry.
📩 Message/comment if interested!
Please include the animal’s name when messaging since I am helping multiple rescue animals find homes at the moment.
✅ Adoption application & contract required to ensure a good home.
