Meet Boogie!

A lovable seven-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix currently living in Redwood City, CA, whose heart is as big as his 83-pound frame and whose sleek black coat shines brightest under the sun. Boogie was rescued just as the new year dawned, and ever since, he's been making up for lost time by soaking in every bit of joy life has to offer, especially if it involves lounging in the dirt after a playful run!

This gentle guy is all about balance. He’ll happily curl up for a cozy nap, yet he perks right up when it’s time for a sniff-filled stroll or a quick game of fetch (though, fair warning, he might just bring the toy back for you to hold while he chews it). Boogie’s a sucker for antlers, dirt patches, and the simple pleasure of a good outdoor adventure! He knows a few classic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” and he’s working hard with a trainer to manage his leash reactivity.

While Boogie has gotten along with certain dogs in foster care, he prefers to keep his social circle small. Boogie has a big heart especially for his best friend, Baby. If you're considering a dynamic duo, Boogie and Baby would love nothing more than to find a home together, where they can continue their beautiful bond. A calm, pet-free home without small children would be the perfect environment for Boogie to thrive.

On the health front, Boogie needs a bit of extra TLC. He manages skin allergies with the help of medicated baths and visits to a dermatologist. But don’t let that intimidate you, he’s a cooperative guy who just needs a caring routine and a guardian who understands his needs.

Could you be the compassionate, outdoorsy family Boogie is dreaming of? If your heart is ready for a meaningful journey with one unforgettable dog reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!
