Meet Boo

HIGHLIGHTS:

-Needs another more confident dog in the home

-Needs 5'+ securely fenced yard





Meet Boo, a medium-sized Lab mix with a big heart just waiting to trust. Boo is the type of dog who forms deep bonds with her people-once you're in her circle, you'll have a loyal shadow for life. She's known to follow her favorite staff member around the yard, even howling at him for attention. It's clear that Boo's love runs deep, but it takes her some time to warm up to new faces.



While Boo won't approach strangers right away, with patience and kindness, she'll start to come out of her shell. Once she feels safe, she'll come up for treats (cheese is her favorite!) and slowly accept gentle pets. She does best when humans go slow and give her time to adjust.



Boo's confidence blossoms around other dogs. She loves playtime with her canine friends, wagging her tail as she chases and romps around. When she's with other dogs, she's playful and happy. Without them, she's more nervous and unsure. Because of this, Boo will need another confident dog in her new home to help her feel secure and continue to build trust.



She's learning to walk on a leash, but prefers to have a dog friend accompany her on walks. Boo is food motivated, making training easier, and she's making progress every day.



Boo needs a calm, patient home with a secure fence (at least 5 feet) since she'll jump if she feels nervous or scared. She's a sweet, sensitive soul who's trying her best to trust the world-and with the right family, Boo will blossom into the loyal, loving companion she was always meant to be.



------

Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
