About Boof - 10 yr mixed breed ~ On Trial 26/1/21
This gorgeous boy with the radiant smile and big brown eyes is Boof - a 10 yr old mixed breed chap (possibly Bull Arab x Staffy) who is the perfect companion .
Boof is an absolute sweetheart who has thrived since coming into foster care - this boy is just perfect and anyone who meets him will love him. If you are looking for your new best friend and companion then Boof can certainly fill that gap for you.
Boof loves his daily walks - he covers a couple of km per day with ease. He was very overweight when he first came into foster care - he was unable to walk around the block. But after losing 6kg, changing his diet to one with quality food and with training from his doting foster Boof has shown us that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Boof is primarily an inside dog at his foster home - he has impeccable house manners (he won’t pinch a plate of food even if it’s left on a low table) and is fully toilet trained. He doesn’t need a huge yard so may suit a home with a smaller yard.
Boof’s achilles heel is that he is very scared of thunderstorms so he needs to be kept inside during storms. Confining him to a dark and safe room , or even doing future crate-training will assist him to cope with storms. He cannot be left outside during storms as he is terrified and just wants to be with his humans for comfort.
Boof has met a few dogs since being in care - he is fine with other, quiet senior dogs but he finds puppies way too full of beans. He may suit a home with either one existing senior dog or in an only dog home. This boy is actually more of a people dog so a single dog home would mean he can be the centre of attention (which he would love)
If you’re a older single or couple then this boy may be your perfect match . To find out more about Boof please email Jo on rescuepooch75@gmail.com . Boof is located near Medowie (North of Newcastle). You can also fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
Boof’s adoption fee is $300. This includes desexing, vaccinations and microchipping , he has also been treated for worms, fleas and ticks.
