Boomer has been searching for his forever home for 8 months after joining Rescue Row in November of 2021. If you or a friend are looking for a new companion, please take a second to read this post to see if we can find his perfect match! Boomer joined Rescue Row after his elderly owner had to enter assisted living and elected to euthanize Boomer and his companion, Cheyenne because she couldn’t find anyone to take them. Her vet would not let that happen, so she contacted us for help. Since then, sweet Cheyenne has passed away from lung cancer, and Boomer has only ever received 1 application for adoption. Boomer is an 8 1/2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 50lbs. His foster mom describes him as “amazing” and “so smart”, and those who have met him can agree that he is a mellow and friendly dog. He is amazing with all humans - big, small (even really small, this includes toddlers and babies), male, female - you name it! He will happily greet anyone he comes across. He is also cat friendly. His foster mom has two cats with very different personalities, and Boomer likes to hang out with them both. However, he is dog selective. He likes some dogs and dislikes others, so we will only adopt Boomer as the only dog in the household. Please don’t let that deter your interest in Boomer or believe that he is a bad dog - some dogs just prefer a life without others, and Boomer is one of those dogs! This simply means that his ideal home would be as a solo family pet, a companion for someone who works during the day and just wants a dog to love on when they come home, first time dog owners, or a “one dog family” - a family that just likes having one dog at a time. With that being said, Boomer’s dog selectiveness is his foster mom’s only complaint. She has never heard him bark before. He has amazing leash manners. He is potty trained. He is also kennel trained, although he has her full trust to stay outside of his kennel when she leaves the house. He is calm and mellow. He LOVES being pet. He does not get on furniture. He has great manners. Boomer is such a sweet boy who is just looking for someone to give him a chance! If he sounds like the right dog for you, please fill out an application at rescuerowinc.org *Please check your junk email folder if you do not receive a response from a Rescue Row member within 3 business days. *You must live within an hour of the DFW Metroplex because we do trial adoptions and require a homecheck *Our adoption fees are as follows paid by cash, a check made out to Rescue Row, Venmo: @Rescue-Row or at Zelle: info@rescuerowinc.org Dogs 12 weeks-6 months old: $300 adoption fee Dogs 7 months and older: $275 adoption fee Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.
