Bo's Story

Bobo is a 2 and a half-year-old neutered male weighing 36.5 lbs who is heartworm negative and described as push-and-pull social in playgroup. He is friendly, curious, and affectionate with both staff and volunteers, greeting people at the kennel with a loose, relaxed body and wagging tail. Bobo is generally easy to leash, walks calmly to play areas, and remains composed around other dogs, even when they are barking. In the yard, he enjoys exploring, playing with toys, and engaging with handlers, frequently soliciting pets and leaning into affection. He is comfortable being handled, sits for treats, and happily interacts with people, often nudging or licking to continue receiving attention.<br/>Bo demonstrates a strong bond with humans, often jumping onto laps or leaning heavily into petting, yet he is capable of independent exploration and quickly returns to handlers when called. He shows appropriate manners both in playgroup and during walks, is easy to return to his kennel, and tolerates leash adjustments without issue. Overall, Bobo is a social, loving, and relaxed dog who thrives on human interaction and would make a wonderful companion for an active household that can provide attention, play, and affection.<br/><br/>Foster Notes: Bo has been in my home for the last couple months and is doing quite well. He just needs time and patience and any new pup would. He gets on well with his fur mates and my 15 yo son loves him. He is kind to anyone coming to visit. No is reactive by barking once he leaves the home and placed on leash. He’s curious with keen sense of hearing. He was surrendered initially for a bite that the shelter assessed him for and found no future or immediate concern. He was living on the streets and I can only imagine what that does to a pup. He’s more relaxed now being in a home. Bo is house trained and sleeps some nights in the crate and some nights in bed with his fosters. He is starting training soon. I don’t recommend with small children since his herding tendencies are to nip.
