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 came to us after being rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where he had very little human interaction. Despite his past, Boone remains incredibly gentle, sweet, and eager to experience the love he deserves. He is still 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. Every new experience is an opportunity for him to build confidence, and watching him come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding. Boone is learning to walk on a leash and gains confidence with gentle encouragement. He does well in his crate, where he feels safe and secure, and is beginning to discover the joys of being a dog. He's a quiet, thoughtful little guy who prefers to observe before jumping into something new. Once 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.
