Adoptable Animal of the Week: Boomer

• Name: Boomer
  
• Case Number: 19625478
• Breed: Pit Bull Terrier

Description: "My name is Boomer and I am a friendly, exuberant dude! I love everyone, even the most unusual of strangers; I just need to learn to be more polite when meeting them.

"I am very scared and unsettled in the shelter environment but making a connection with a human has really helped. My true self will likely bloom once in my forever home.

"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 even know how to fetch and love a brisk game of tug. I get vocal and growly when I play tug, though it's all just talk.

"I'm comfortable with all types of handling and will readily share my food with people.

"I am very playful with other dogs and will enjoy their company immensely. I am a high-impact, high-energy player so I hope you'll find me appropriate playmates who will play like I do and won't take offense. I should really learn some manners and impulse control when around other dogs.

"I have already had some training (sit, shake, etc.) and am eager to learn more for a taste of my favorite treats. One thing I definitely need to learn is to walk nicely on leash. A Premiere Easy-Walk Harness would be a helpful tool in discouraging my pulling. Training may help build my confidence and will help us forge a relationship."
