Sweet Boone is a 2-year-old, neutered Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who weighs approximately 18 pounds. He has the kindest face and the softest, most soulful eyes. Boone came to us after being rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where he lived outdoors among piles of trash and debris with very little human interaction. Despite everything he's been through, Boone has remained incredibly gentle, sweet, and eager to experience the love he has always deserved.
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. Because of his sensitive nature, 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, neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.
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, and he's beginning to discover all the little joys of simply being a dog. Every day brings new milestones, whether it's growing braver in new environments, seeking out affection, or relaxing a little more around his people. Positive reinforcement, predictable routines, and compassionate guidance will help him continue to thrive.
Application Details:
Applications to adopt Boone start by contacting us through Wags. Our process begins with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process.
Transporation
Boone is currently located in Austin, Texas. Transport can be arranged by our rescue once matched with an approved adopter. Transports run every few weeks and we will have Boone on the next available transport once approved.
