About Booker

Bullmastiff mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

You may recognize Booker - he is a previous MHS dog who we are trying to find a new home for. Booker is a big boy - well over 100 pounds! He is about 4-5 years old and is neutered. We are looking for a specific type of home for Booker in order to help him succeed! Booker would do best in a quiet and calm home. In his past, he has had biting incidents during arguments or lots of excitement. When the environment is relaxed, Booker is relaxed. He is actually a very playful boy and has a charming personality! Given his size and temperament and in order to set him up for success, the ideal adopter would have experience with extra-large breed dogs and knowledge of behavior. Children cause Booker some nervousness, he will need to have adults only. Booker lights up around other friendly shelter dogs - he play bows and will zoom around to try and get them to play. A home with other nice pooches could be great for Booker if introduced properly. Booker used to live with cats, we are still watching his behavior around kitties here at the shelter. He is a very smart boy. Booker did wonderful in his previous home with being house-trained. He was left alone daily for about 6-8 hours and was not destructive. He knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and shake with his big ol' paw! If you can find someone strong enough, he loves to play with the tug rope. But the coolest thing about Booker is that he actually 'smiles' when he sees someone he recognizes. He gets so excited and wiggles his entire body. He will lean into you for back scratches and has no idea that he is a larger pup! Booker thinks he is a lap dog. We have partnerships with local rescues who are willing to oversee Booker in a foster home if we can find one. That would mean providing care temporarily while we continue to look for a permanent adoption. If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please call us!
