Meet Bo – a beautiful soul who’s ready for another chance at life.

Bo is an intelligent, playful, and full-of-life young dog who simply loves being part of the action. His start wasn’t easy—he missed out on the guidance every pup needs, and that left him confused and overwhelmed. Without boundaries, he became overstimulated, and that led to habits that weren’t his fault. He just didn’t know any better.

But Bo’s story is changing. Over the past few weeks in foster care, he’s blossomed into a calmer, more obedient boy who’s eager to learn. With simple, consistent techniques—ones anyone can master—Bo has shown he’s not just trainable, he’s a star pupil. What he needs now is someone who can be his anchor: calm, confident, and consistent, so he always knows where his guidance comes from.
Bo’s heart is as big as his smile. He loves cuddles, has a gentle nature, and likes to keep an eye on his people—just to make sure everyone’s okay. He’s currently living in a rural foster home, enjoying the freedom of the house and grounds during the day, and he respects the farm fencing and gates without issue.

Bo does bark if left alone, so he’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s crate-trained but currently has the run of the house, snoozing in one of the many beds scattered around—never a problem. He walks beautifully on a lead with a gentle leader, and he’s a dream in the car, sitting quietly and loving the breeze on his nose.

He’s also wonderfully social: Bo lives with a cat and sees sheep, cattle, horses, pigs, and goats daily without a fuss. Even the neighbor’s chickens don’t tempt him!
Bo is ready for his forever person—the one who will give him the love, guidance, and stability he deserves. If you can offer this handsome boy the home he’s been waiting for, he’ll give you his whole heart in return.

Could you be Bo’s person? He’s waiting to hear from you.

Bo has been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated, and is currently registered.

He has an adoption fee of $350 and, as with all of our foster dogs, we’ll require a vet reference and property inspection prior to adoption.
