Bo 05-447

Profile

1/7/06: Bo is a male three-year-old Golden Retriever mix. His head almost looks like he is part St. Bernard. Bo just arrived today and was an owner surrender to a shelter because his family was moving. Apparently, it didn't seem to matter that they were getting rid of him. Well, lucky for Bo, he is going to find a forever home that will not treat him as being so disposable.

Bo has only been here for a few hours and he is one laid back boy. Bo has met our dog and the cat with no problem what-so-ever. His tail just keeps on wagging. He is not a huge boy, but is very solidly built. There were some kids playing nearby and he sure kept looking at them, almost as if he might have been missing kids from his previous family. He just stood and stared and wagged his tail. Poor guy!

Bo will be going for his vet checkup this week and then he will have to be neutered, hopefully the following week. We will write more as we get to know Bo better.

Bo has settled in here at our house and acts like he has lived here all of his life. He gets along great with our resident dog. They have been chasing each other, wrestling and having a good ol' time.

I did take Bo to the vet on Friday as he had some runny stools with a little blood in them. Everyone at the vet's office thought he was the nicest dog. Another client that was in the waiting room just had to come over and pet him and kept telling me how cute he was. He checked out fine at the vet and she said this can happen with the change in food and just having a dog move from place to place. I have been feeding Bo hamburger and rice the last few days and I don't think it is enough because he looks at me like, "Where's the rest?" So last night I started adding a little bit of his regular dry food back into his meal.

Bo does counter surf once in awhile. He has gotten a couple things off the counter even though they were pushed back. It's kind of funny, because it isn't a constant thing, so I don't know if he has just been more hungry since he is only getting the hamburger and rice or what. Most of the time he is very good and I have not seen him jump up at the counter at all.

Bo is one of the nicest and easiest dogs we have ever fostered. He is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations, is HW negative, and will be neutered on January 24th. I know he doesn't look much like a Golden Retriever, but he doesn't get overly excited, loves people, behaves very well in the house, is housebroken, doesn't bark much, leaves cats alone, and his tail just wags and wags... what more could you ask for?

If you would like to meet this super dog, please email placementatragom [dot] org and let us know.
