Adoptable Animal of the Week: Bo

A Town of Hempstead animal that needs a new home.

  • Name: Bo
  • Case Number: 8460
My name is Bo and I am a playful, friendly dude! I love just about everyone I meet! I love to share deep meaningful glances with my special people.

I like playing with people and simply love toys, but I can get over-excited; I'll need to learn some impulse control in order to play politely. I tend to get aroused and mouthy by some handling (snout).

I will readily share my resources with people. I am interested in making the acquaintance of even the most unusual strangers (hooded, limping, etc.) and, if given a little time (and a treat), I will make friends with them.

I tend to be stiff around other dogs. While I can tolerate them at a distance, I do not like them in my face or sniffing me up. I am definitely a people-centric pooch.

I don't know any basic commands but I'm eager to learn for a taste of my favorite treats! I definitely need to learn to walk nicely on leash and not to be jumpy, though I'm only a mild.
