boo

Boo is a beautiful Border Collie mix, about 3 years old and around 30 pounds, with a gentle soul and a heart that’s learning how good life can be. She came to us straight off the reservation, where she survived on the streets for several years before finally finding safety in a foster home. Despite her past neglect, Boo is a sweet, friendly, and surprisingly trusting dog who is making wonderful progress every day.In her foster home, Boo has proven herself to be a dream houseguest. She is fully house-trained and completely trustworthy when left alone in the house. She enjoys attention and affection—especially when she gets to choose the moment! When called, Boo happily approaches for love and pets, though she can be shy if someone approaches her instead. She does best when her boundaries are respected, and she’s given time to build confidence at her own pace.Boo is still learning the ropes of being a pet. She doesn’t yet know how to walk on a leash and has no experience with car rides, but with patience and positive reinforcement, she’s sure to continue blossoming. One thing she does know well? Other dogs! Boo is fantastic with every dog she’s met and absolutely loves to cuddle and play with her canine foster siblings. She will need a home with another confident, well-socialized dog to help her feel secure and show her the way.A fenced yard is a must for Boo, as she needs the freedom to go outside on her own in a safe space. She’ll thrive in a calm, laid-back home with people who understand shy dogs and are committed to helping her continue her journey toward becoming a confident, happy companion.To meet Boo, please complete an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application.
