Boef *On Trial in His New Home*

*BOEF IS CURRENTLY TRIALLING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* All he wants for his 1st birthday is a place to call his own; will you help make Boef’s birthday wish come true?

Looking for a new home through no fault of his own, Boef would be quite happy sharing one with a submissive dog for company if his humans were to be away at work for long hours each day. And he’d be super delighted if there were children as Boef interacts lovingly with the 4, 9 and 11 year old kids he’s sharing his foster home with. He is described as an affectionate and fun young dog who would be a loyal addition to any active household.

Handsome Boef is an energetic and loving young boy. Some of the things he likes include - bouncing after thrown tennis balls, foraging for treats in the backyard and going on fast paced walks! This confident dog enjoys the company of humans of all shapes and sizes and when you meet him he’ll probably try to make a good first impression by giving your hand a gentle nuzzle with his nose.

Boef gets along great with cats, is fascinated with guinea pigs, and likes to watch birds.

If left alone for a few hours, Boef benefits from being provided with a long lasting treat such as a filled Kong or bone. Rope toys, rubber rings and other durable items are a must for this vigorous boy. He does require supervision around other dogs when treats are being handed out, as he can be a bit greedy and attempt to take high prize items off others. A stern “Leave it” assists to direct Boef back to his own treat.

Boef only barks for a reason and would make a great guard dog as he displays a keen awareness of his surroundings. He sits on command, and as he is still a pup at only 12 months old Boef would benefit from some more training. He is an intelligent boy who aims to please, and is very motivated by treats. Boef is getting used to walking on a lead and has the most success with a firm harness. He has observed other dogs and people during walks and reacted with appropriate interest.

As Boef is toilet trained he would be best suited to a home with an indoor/outdoor lifestyle where he can be part of the household goings on. When inside, he likes to make himself at home by finding a comfy spot to cuddle up in.
