Boone is a 2-year-old, neutered Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing approximately 18 pounds. He has the kindest face and the most soulful eyes. Boone came to us after being rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, where he lived outdoors with little human interaction. Despite his past, Boone remains incredibly gentle, sweet, and eager for the love he deserves. He is learning that the world can be a safe place and is making steady progress every day. Boone will thrive with a patient family who understands that trust is earned through kindness, consistency, and time. He is a quiet, thoughtful little guy who would rather observe before jumping into something new. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality shines through. Boone doesn't need an exciting lifestyle to be happy. He simply wants a family that will celebrate his small victories, appreciate his gentle nature, and give him the time he needs to blossom. Boone is ready for his second chance, and he's hoping his forever family is out there waiting to show him what home truly feels like.
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 after all.
Ongoing Health
Boone is a healthy boy.
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.
