Meet Jagger! BSR #1692 posted 11/25/24
Hi Everyone! My name is Jagger, and I am a 1.5-year-old fella looking for my new home. I weigh in at around 30lbs, the perfect size if I do say so! I am still young and full of energy, so let me tell you a little about myself.
My foster mom says I have the most beautiful eyes and they make you fall in love pretty quickly! I am still a young boy, but I am crate trained and house trained. I will stay in my crate while you are out for a few hours with no trouble. It is important that you make sure I have a secure crate to call home when I cannot be watched because I will create mischief if left alone. I love to run in the backyard while we are working on learning good Boykin behaviors such as come, sit, and stay. I will come, but sometimes I get so excited I can't sit or stay for very long. I love to play fetch, but I haven't quite mastered the "give it" back to you part...I play keep away when I get close to you~ it's my way of helping you get your daily exercise! My foster mom is working on socialization, and I am doing pretty well. I still like to bark to say hello to new people when we are out and about; she has told me that isn't nice, but my nub is wagging the entire time.
I like to experience new things, and I follow her around in the house making sure I see everything that needs to be done everyday. She has tried to expose me to children, and I don't seem to mind them as long as they are respectful. I have a few Boykin friends here, and we get along just fine. I would love to have a dog or two in my new home, since I like company. There is also a cat here, and we are pretty good friends. We get into trouble together because they like to knock things off of high areas and, of course, I like to see what those treasures are...much to my foster mom's dismay.
Since I am so young, I will need someone to continue my training. I am very smart and a quick learner so someone who is patient with my training should have no trouble getting me in tip top manner shape in no time! I have a bad habit, like most Boykins, of tearing up things that I shouldn't have like papertowels, tennis balls, and even my foster mom's mail! I am not allowed to have anything soft because I will automatically begin to shred it. In fact, I came to BSR with torn up tennis ballI pieces inside me, which unfortunately caused me to have to have a surgery once they got stuck. But I am lucky because my foster mom makes sure that I now have toys that are good for Boykins which helps keep me out of trouble. So no rope toys, no soft squeaky or plush toys, and certainly no tennis balls!! I will counter surf, which is frowned upon, I can't help it~ I am just so curious about what goes on up there, but I am working on it.
I am looking for a great home that will show me the world and teach me great things. I am an eager learner and with consistent training, I will be your best buddy! We can experience everything together! I must have a fenced in yard because my ears do not work if I get away from you. I like the taste of freedom too much! I would like some other dogs to play with and they can help teach me the ropes at my new house. Are you looking for a happy-go- lucky, smart fella? If so, I might be your perfect match! Let my foster mom know by clicking below!
Hi, I am a male Boykin Spaniel weighing 40lbs of solid muscle. My name is Stono and I am 2.5 (3 in January) years old. My original family spent most of their time on a boat, moving from port to port, making sure to get me on land frequently for exercise and exploration. But being the energetic young fellow I am, they knew I needed a LOT more exercise and space to run to be my best self. So I am looking for a new home that can accommodate my needs and help me be the best Boykin possible!
I am a high energy dog that loves to retrieve and I need a job that will stimulate both my mental and physical health. I know sit, here, heel and love to please. I am a really good boy and just need structure, boundaries and a schedule. Hunting or retrieving games would likely suit me well. Agility or other fast paced activities would likely bode well also.
I am solid at crate training and will happily go in and relax when asked. I get along well with other animals after being introduced properly. I am healthy with no known issues. Sit, here and heel are understood and leash manners are a work in progress. I haven't been around cats, but really enjoy a pack and love all humans both large and small.
I am happy both inside and outside and very adaptable; in my foster home I spend my days in outdoors and nights inside, and in my former life, I easily transitioned between the boat and land bases where we docked. I will retrieve a ball or bumper as long as you are willing to throw them for me. Behavior modification is well received and I try really hard to be a good boy especially when I understand what your expectations are. My ideal home would be a high energy home and a fenced-in larger yard so I can enjoy the fresh air and run. I'd be a great companion to another energetic, younger dog, I just needed a little help at first understanding that other dogs were not scary and could actually be fun. I need a family that will explore my abilities and provide a job that suits me and allows me an energy release. I prefer knowledgeable owners who understand how to get the most out of me and my desire to please will work well in that environment. I love to retrieve a ball or bumper and these type activities are a must for my ideal home. If I am away from my people I would prefer to be with another dog or dogs to pass the time. I am not destructive, I don't dig and just need an outlet for my energy and enthusiasm.
If you think you're the right one to keep me active and continue my training, and you are an already-approved BSR adoption applicant, drop my fosters a note through the link below!!
Coming Soon! These dogs are finishing their time in BSR's care and nearing availability. We are working on their bios and they should be posted for availability soon, so make sure to check back daily!
Meet Riggs! BSR #1695 posted 11/18/24
Hello my name is Riggs; I am a male Boykin who is 5 years old. A few things about me: I love every adult I meet, especially if it means I get to lal in their lap and and get snuggles! I love to play with other dogs that are my size, but unfortunately I do not like small kids and they are a no go for me. Check back soon, and I'll fill you in on my forever home search!
