About Boomer

Adoption Fee: $75
Lab mix
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

Foster location: Boise ID Breed: Lab Age: 9 years(ish) Adoption Fee: 75.00 Neutered, Vaccinated, microchipped Boomer is a sweet and loving 65 lb. boy who is just about as (yellow) lab as they come! We are unsure of his exact age, but we know he is somewhere between 7 and 10 years old. Boomer loves all of the simple pleasures that labs are known to enjoy - getting lots of pets, being right next to his humans, playing fetch in the yard, rolling around in the grass, car rides, and walks around the neighborhood. He is a very friendly boy who loves everyone he meets, both humans and other animals. He has been the only dog in his foster home, so he gets excited when he sees other dogs. His excitement has been known to make small dogs a little nervous, although he has not shown any aggression or agitation towards them, he is just overly curious. He lived with small dogs and cats in his previous home, so we think he will do just fine with other animals once they realize he is harmless. Boomer spends most of his day following his humans around the house and napping as close to them as possible. He is lower energy, and while he does love walks, he can only go about a �%BD mile to 1 mile at a time. He LOVES fetching tennis balls in the yard (did we mention he's a lab?), but due to older age and arthritis, about 10-15 minutes of fetching is his usual limit. Being an older dog, Boomer does have some health issues his new owners will need to commit to staying on top of. He is mostly deaf due to chronic ear infections that he's likely struggled with his entire life. This normally chill boy gets a little agitated in the evenings, but a light anti-anxiety pill is usually enough to make him feel better. Boomer is house trained, but due to his age he is losing some of his sensation in his back half, so he may have the occasional accident in the house if he isn't taken outside regularly. This laid back, sweet boy will steal your heart and be your most loyal companion.
