Meet Boone! BSR #1678 Posted 8/19/24!
Hey Y'all! I'm Boone, and I am looking for a forever playmate! Although I am a little guy, I am quite mighty! I am 14 weeks old and only 6 lbs! I have a lot more growing and learning to do, but my will and my personality outweigh my size!!
I like to tackle life head on, so let me say up front that I have a weird birth defect in the development of one of my front legs, and I will need an amputation when I get old enough to have my bones stop growing. You see, I was born with no wrist parts, and my paw bones kind of made up their own mind what to do, so it looks like I have two paws (I don't, but that's what it looks like). Also, my forearm bones have grown at different rates, so one is the length it should be and the other is shorter; this doesn't help me have a really functional arm either, so I won't miss it as I have learned really well how to go as fast as I want with the good legs. I am fast as the wind, and I love to play!
Since I will eventually need to have my leg amputated, I will be in BSR's foster care for many more months. I will need to stabilize my growth and be ready for my surgery, but I will also need to be neutered before I can be fully adopted, so BSR will be interviewing adoption applicants who will need to become fostering volunteers for the time I stay in care. But BSR will be with you every step of the way, and oversee all my care. We even have a puppy coordinator who will help you stay on track with my needs, and a Certified Canine Trainer who can help me shape up to be the best boy possible! (Like all young pups, I will need help continuing my house training, learning basic commands, crate training and leash walking.) And our Director of Dog Care will coordinate all my vet care, including which orthopedic surgeons take care of me.
I have a great disposition in life and love everyone I meet, both two & four-legged. I have met cats and they seem fine by me~I just think of them as another playmate! I am not intimidated by larger dogs and actually have a 60lb dog friend who I love to play chase with. My foster mom says I'm sweet, and I think she's pretty great, too, but my foster dad has my heart! I haven't quite mastered retrieving, but I love to chase my foster sister while she retrieves. I love to snuggle after a good chase session. Oh, and I would love a fenced yard to run around with my forever playmates, so hopefully you'll have that and another dog or two to help me learn the ropes and get my energy out!
So are you looking for a young, little guy with a fantastic future ahead of him? If so, I am your perfect match! Please let BSR know and my foster parents will call you!
Hi, Y'all - I'm Lolo, and I'm looking for my forever home. I am 4 years old and just like my namesake, Olympic sprinter, Lolo Jones, I am FAST!! You might not think that I would be since I recently had my one of my legs amputated after a previous elbow surgery failed and there were no other options. But, I surely haven't missed a beat since then, and I LOVE playing ball and I love to chase squirrels and birds, and boy do I work hard chasing those critters off our yard!
Since my vet said that water exercise is great for my body as a tripod, I need daily access to water so I can exercise safely and burn off my high energy. Even though I'm fast and a running machine, I adore the water, too, and so that is a great fit for me. Heck, I could be the next Olympic medalist in swimming with how well I take to water!! (Lolo Ladecky, maybe?!?!) I have great potential for other activities, too, with further training as my fosters say I'm the smartest dog they've ever met! I know basic commands such as sit, stay, and down. And, I can follow multiple commands at once - I'm a great listener and eager to please!
With all that talent and smarts, though, comes a pretty big personality, and I can be a bit of a headstrong diva! I don't necessarily like to share my ball or my foster's time and attention with the others in the pack, so we are all working on training me to share better and not get bossy. I am intense about things I love, and the headstrong part of me won't stop running after birds, bringing the ball back for more throws, or jumping into the pool even when I am super tired...the Boykin "off switch" is sometimes hard for me to find! So, I do need additional obedience training to help me reinforce your instruction when it's time to stop.
My ideal home is one where my people are home most of the day. I will need a very experienced Boykin owner who understands the importance of being in charge to keep my diva side in check. I'm all things Boykin - the biggest love bug in the world but at the same time, smart, incredibly driven, and ready to work! But, if I'm not challenged intellectually and exercised, I can get myself into trouble either through chewing or being extra bossy. I may do best in a single-dog home.
Good day people!! Tucker is my name- being awesome is my game! I am a beautiful chocolate brown boy, weighing in at about 40 pounds. I have thick, wonderful curls, especially on my ears, and you will want to pet me just to run your hands through them!! I've also got an incredibly kissable face my foster mom says! When you look as good as me, it's understandable I guess!!
My original owners taught me a lot of tricks, and I have been showing off to my fosters since I got here. Of course I can sit, but more than that...I can stay, play dead, shake and spin in a circle. My foster parents are not hunters, but they do live on lots of land. Everyday I get to go on 2 or 3 walks. There are so many sticks here, and they are no match for my strength. I run with a very diverse pack here. There is a huge German Shepard (she thinks she's a baby), another Little Brown Dog, and a little Scottie (he thinks he's a German Shepard). We all get along great. Even at meal time, we don't fuss at all. Did I mention the cats? There are two here, and they are pretty cool.
The ideal home for me would be someone moderately active that isn't away from home too long. I loves walks, do great on the leash and with a gentle reminder I will slow down and not pull so hard. My foster mom says I have wonderful manners; don't jump or counter surf; and am not aggressive with food. I am not food motivated or play motivated; pleasing you is my reward! When inside, I love the couch, and I am perfectly house trained. I have a strict 9:00 pm bedtime and will put myself to bed! My foster mom says I have a lovely temperament and will be a great addition to any home that is knowledgeable about this breed.
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!
