Boomer Basset Hound Knoxville, TN

Boomer is in the house!!! Have you ever wanted to own a dog that comes with his own instruction manual? Well, now you can! Follow a few simple rules, and you will melt Boomer's adorable outside coating to reach his lovable and tender inner nougat.

If you and your family can follow these few simple rules, there is no doubt you will enjoy the absolute love and loyalty of a one-of-a-kind beautiful soul. Boomer is a gentle and loving boy that needs someone experienced in the understanding of his difficulties and triggers. But most importantly, this low rider needs someone willing to work with him, so Boomer can live his best life full of safe nights and uninterrupted meals. Because of his special circumstances, we do not recommend Boomer to homes with hyper dogs’ or homes with small children (even if they just visit).


Boomer's Instructional Manual
Written by Boomer and his foster mom.

Do: Pet Boomer any time he's fully awake and not eating.
Don't: Pet Boomer when he has been heavily sleeping or is trying to sleep. No matter how gentle.... (unless there is a tornado outside and you are forced to evacuate the premises.)

Do: Feed Boomer bananas. You can even leave the peel on if you quarter it!
Don't: Pet Boomer while he enjoys the banana or other food/snacks, or more importantly try to take a food item away from him. "Because let's face it, nobody wants you messing with their food," said Boomer.

Do: Take Boomer for walks!
Don't: Take Boomer to a dog park or Petco type store, (even if there is a clearance sale).

Do: Enjoy the adoration of Boomer following you around the entire time you are home.
Don't: Think this means you can pet him when he sleeps. You still can't. ( See Don’t#1 if unclear.)

Disclaimer: Like all fur balls, with the love and guidance of a loving home, this instructional manual may need updates to show how love can change a soul. At Belly Rubs Basset Rescue, we believe there is always someone out there waiting for each of our rescues.
