Meet Booth – Your Loyal, Four-Legged Shadow

Booth is a breathtakingly handsome 6-year-old Labrador mix whose warm, soulful eyes and bright, beaming smile can melt even the frostiest of days. This gentle boy has a heart as big as his goofy grin, and he’s always happiest when following his favorite humans like the world’s most devoted shadow. If you’re walking from room to room, don’t worry—Booth will be right there, trotting beside you, ready for whatever adventure comes next.

His absolute favorite pastime? Sniffy walks—lots of them. Booth’s nose is basically a professional detective, and he approaches every outing with the determination of a pup on an important mission. Every blade of grass is a clue, and every breeze carries a new story just waiting to be uncovered.

Booth adores his people deeply, but he needs a moment (and a little patience) to warm up to new faces. Once he trusts you, though, he loves with his whole heart. For this reason, Booth would truly thrive in a home with family members aged 12 and up—people who can help nurture his confidence, respect his boundaries, and give him the steady love he deserves.

He’s a pup who blossoms in a calm, understanding environment where his mind stays active and his body gets to move. Whether it’s enrichment games, fun training sessions, or outdoor adventures, Booth is all in. He has so much sweetness, loyalty, and quiet devotion to offer—he just needs the right person or family to let him shine.

When it comes to canine buddies, Booth is a bit selective. But once someone earns the title of “friend,” they’re his buddy for life. With the help of a patient canine friend at the shelter, Booth has gained tons of confidence—so much so that he now ventures into water (yes, even the Fox River!) and boldly explores new areas he once found intimidating. Watching him grow is truly special.
