Story

We adopted Boone from the best friends shelter in January. He didn’t have any information but it was obvious he was a ranch dog prior. He’s always been high energy but very sweet in controlled interactions. The reason we are looking to rehome him is because of our other senior dog. Boone has showed aggression towards her and has bitten her a few times. Boone needs to be in a single dog household where all socializations can be controlled. He’s only two and very smart and can be trained to be such a great dog he just wasn’t a good fit for our other dog.

Story

Hi, I'm Tarmac, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd with a soft heart and a thoughtful approach to life-more slow stroll than fast takeoff, at least until I feel ready to really taxi into my groove. New places and big changes can feel a little overwhelming for me at first, so I like to take my time getting comfortable and figuring things out. Once I know I'm safe, I start to lean into connection and really appreciate gentle attention-I'm the kind of guy who bonds deeply and values those quiet, reassuring moments. I may not be the type to hit the ground running right away, but with patience, kindness, and a steady routine, I'll start to come out of my shell and show you just how special I am. Think of me as your co-pilot in life: I might need a little time on the runway, but with you by my side, I'll be ready to soar.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Merle Secondary Color: White Weight: 43.5 Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks
