Boomer

A060024 Boomer; neutered male Plott Hound; 1 year; 63.4 lbs<br/>Contact: Calaveras County Animal Services<br/>? (209)754-6509<br/>? Website: https://animal.calaverasgov.us/<br/>? Email: animal@calaverascounty.gov<br/><br/><br/><br/>Meet Boomer, a young Plott hound mix. This handsome feller was terribly afraid when he first arrived, retreating to a corner of his kennel and refusing contact. Once he did start feeling more comfortable with our company, he'd still flinch at any unexpected touch. After a few days of patient, loving ministrations from staff and volunteers, however, Boomer has relaxed and is now very loving with all the new friends he's making. And no more flinching.<br/><br/> Boomer is a huge hugger. He'll lean firmly into his handler's legs, even nestling in between their feet when they stop walking in order to maximize dog/human contact zones. He now invites as many pets and scritches as he can get. <br/><br/>He does jump up for attention, full-body hugs, and lap time. Perhaps a velcro dog in the making? We'll work to discourage the jumping, but a home with older children may be best, though Plotts are typically excellent with and protective of children.<br/><br/>Boomer is very food motivated, which will help in his training. We'd guess he will bond deeply when he lands with a new family. <br/><br/>When introducing Boomer to other dogs, we found him to be excited to meet both males and females. He likes the ladies, especially, but is friendly with males who are friendly with him. The couple of males who were grouchy in his face received a low warning growl back, but Boomer did not freak out at their rudeness and has been responsive to correction from handlers. <br/><br/>Though we can't make guarantees, Boomer appears to be housetrained; he keeps his kennel very clean. <br/><br/>Boomer is neutered and can go home with you right away. <br/><br/>We do not have info on his attitude toward cats at this time. A meet-and-greet is required if you have other dogs at home.
