Boo

Status: Adoptable | Adoption Survey
Date of Birth: May 19, 2018

Boo is a big, lovable gentleman with an even bigger heart for people! He’s incredibly friendly, always happy to make a new friend, and never one to pass up an opportunity for attention. These days, Boo is more interested in enjoying the simple things in life. A leisurely walk, a cozy place to relax, a few tasty snacks, and having his favorite people nearby are pretty much his idea of a perfect day.

One thing that’s especially important to understand about Boo is just how much he loves having his people around. He struggles with significant separation anxiety, and being alone can be incredibly overwhelming for him. Having consistent companionship and appropriate anxiety management makes a meaningful difference in his ability to feel safe and settled. He’s a dog who has a whole lot of love to give, and he really does want to share his days with someone.

As Boo has gotten older, he’s also developed some medical needs that require extra attention. He has arthritis in his elbows, along with an injury affecting his shoulder, which can make getting around uncomfortable. He receives medication and joint support to help manage his discomfort and maintain his mobility. Boo also lives with Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE), an autoimmune condition that affects the skin of his nose. This requires ongoing topical medication to manage inflammation and prevent painful sores from developing.

More recently, three suspicious skin masses were discovered that are suspected to be mast cell tumors, a type of skin cancer. These will need to be surgically removed and biopsied so we can better understand what we’re dealing with and determine the best path forward for his care. He also has significant dental wear that requires further assessment and treatment.

There is a lot that goes into keeping a gentleman like Boo feeling his best, but he is absolutely worth every bit of it. He may need a little more help than some of his younger, healthier friends, but he still has so much life, personality, and love to share. Your sponsorship helps provide the veterinary care, medications, and daily support that allow Boo to feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
