Sweet Boone is a 2-year-old, neutered Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing approximately 18 pounds. He has the kindest face and the softest, most soulful eyes, making it impossible not to root for him. Boone was rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where he had very little human interaction. Despite his past, Boone is incredibly gentle, sweet, and eager to experience the love he deserves. He is making steady progress in learning that the world can be a safe place and will thrive with a patient family who understands that trust is earned through kindness, consistency, and time. Every new experience is an opportunity for Boone to build confidence, and watching him come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding.
Ideal Home
Boone would do best in a calm, patient home that will continue his socialization and help him build confidence at his own pace. A quieter home may be the best fit, and a friendly, confident resident dog could help show him that people and new experiences aren't so scary.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health issues are mentioned.
Training & Support
Boone is learning to walk on a leash and continues to gain confidence with gentle encouragement. He does well in his crate, where he feels safe and secure. Positive reinforcement, predictable routines, and compassionate guidance will help him continue to thrive.
