Boots, STAR #2103

💙 Meet Boots — a big-hearted charmer looking for his person 🐾

Boots is a handsome 5-year-old blue merle, weighing 47 pounds. He’s smart, trusting, affectionate, and happiest when he’s with his person and family. His tail nubbin is in constant motion when he greets you or you interact with him – he’s a happy boy!

This sweet boy loves attention and physical affection – belly rubs are a favorite, he’ll place his front paws in your lap for a hug, and given the chance, he’d curl up next to you on the couch or bed.  Boots bonds deeply with both men and women and will follow his person around.  He’s spent time around a 7-year-old and did well, but loud voices and high-energy activity can get him excited, so a home with older, calmer kids is the best fit.

Boots is very smart, too – the kind of clever that lights up the second you pull out a treat. He’s food motivated to his core, which makes training feel less like a chore and more like a game he’s always winning.  He’d likely excel at nose work/scent detection or agility. He loves chasing tennis balls indoors and out and enjoys carrying around stuffed and squeaky toys (gently-he’s not a destroyer, just a collector).

Boots is crate trained, house trained, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and current on heartworm prevention. He’s currently fostered in Georgetown and ready to find his forever home.
