Boogie has had a bad start to life. He was treated horribly in a homeless encampment and rescued but another homeless man. This man decided to get the help he needed and only agreed if someone could take him. We took him in with the help of my uncle. He does have dog aggression so I couldn’t bring him in my home. My uncle is now unfortunately fighting for his life it’s heart failure. Boogie is about 3-3.5 neutered big baby. He loves kids but probably better with big kids just because he doesn’t know his size. He loves to give hugs and cuddle. He plays in the pool and plays with my 3 year old son. He would thrive in a home as an only pet and someone who can give him the time to play and hike.
