BooBoo was saved from one of the shelters we work with in Texas. He is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heart-worm and tick-disease tested; Negative and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 29 June 2012 and has an estimated weight of 5 pounds. BooBoo has been listed as a Chihuahua. We have no way of knowing the true breed, it is up to you to decide what you think his breed/s is.
BooBoo has a little body, but a huge personality. He is not intimidated by any dog no matter what their age or size. Whilst at the rescue he is living with dogs his own size and others ranging from 5 pounds - 100 pounds. He is sure to let them know if they are getting in his space and has even chased off some of the 20 pound pups.
Although BooBoo is very small, he is still active and will need exercise to suit his needs. He loves to sit on your lap and will follow you everywhere you go, if he is eating he will growl if any other dogs come near him, but this is more of a warning to get away. He has not shown any signs of aggression.
He has been marking in the house, but he is getting neutered on Wednesday, 18th July and hopefully this will solve that problem. Using a belly-band is a great way to train dogs not to mark or pee in the house and I know many people who have had great access training them this way.
BooBoo would love a family that is active and can take him on long walks, hikes and adventures. He rides great in the car and has been friendly with everyone she as met so far and loves to snuggle on your lap. He would benefit with play dates with other dogs and would love to meet lots of new people. He loves to run and chase with the other dogs and loves to play with toys or chew on the hooves. We do not have cats at the rescue so cannot comment on how he would act around them.
BooBoo will make a great family addition, he is fun, active and very loving and deserves a good family and home to call his own. A family that will give him plenty of fun and exercise, but lots of snuggles and cuddles too.
BooBoo is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $500.
This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

BooBoo is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx 8 miles) and approx 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.
