Boo came to us from a shelter in West Virginia where she was dropped off with a broken leg. Just a few weeks in her cast and she should be good as new!

 

Likes: Dogs! She adores playing with her foster siblings of all ages and sizes. She currently lives with five other dogs and loves them all. She adores her foster momma and loves to be babied. She loves all kinds of toys and attention.

 

Dislikes: Currently struggling with stairs due to her cast. She prefers to be carried because she’s spoiled

 

Personality: Boo is playful and once she is healed would love to be able to run around a yard!

 

Temperament: Boo lets her foster mom clip her nails, clear her eats, and change her cast dressing with no issues.

 

Energy level: mild, she loves to play but love to sleep just as much

 

Favorite activities: playing with her canine foster siblings and belly rubs from foster mom

 

Good with: strangers and dogs, kids ages 6 and up, cats are unknown but since she is a puppy could easily learn to live with them

 

Housetrained: Not yet but working on it

 

Crate trained: Boo is crate trained but is not a fan. She does settle down pretty quickly but will cry when first crated.

 

Any Medical issues? Boo currently wears a cast on her front left leg. Her belly is covered in tiny bites as she was previously flea infested but she is on the mend. She is expected to have a full recovery.

 

What would be the best kind of home for Boo: Someone who is home every three hours to work on proper socialization, potty training, and obedience training with her.

 

Fostered in Williamsport, PA.

Puppy Adoption Policy:

To ensure proper house training and socialization, puppies will only be adopted to homes where an adult will not be away more than an hour per day, per month of age of the puppy, up to 6 months.

 

Puppies will be adopted out on a 'Foster to Adopt' basis. This means that if/when your application is approved to adopt, you sign a contract stating you are fostering the puppy until the time it is neutered/spayed at your expense. Giant breed puppies should be not be spayed/neutered before 12 months of age. All non-giant breed puppies must be spayed/neutered by the age of 6 months, unless otherwise recommended by your veterinarian. We will amend the Foster-to-Adopt contract to make the puppy legally yours, only when we receive a spay/neuter certificate from you or your veterinarian. If the puppy is not spayed/neutered as required, we will take possession of the puppy once again.
