BooBoo is a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. She is a short girl and a little on the stocky side. Her foster home is working on helping her lose a few pounds. 

BooBoo is a beautiful red color with a light blond undercoat. She has unusually large "pompons" on her rear end. We think she was the captain of the cheerleading team in a previous life. 

BooBoo has the classic Golden disposition and as sweet as can be. Boo loves all dogs and likes children and cats. She is extremely docile around people. 

However, she will alert bark and will make sure everybody is aware that her yard is not open territory to all. She caught a squirrel and will obsess over any rabbit that enters the yard. 

BooBoo has no storm or fireworks anxiety. She is a joy to foster and is everyone's idea of the "perfect Golden." BooBoo is just a happy joyous dog who will win your heart very quickly.

BooBoo does have a physical condition called "hip displaysia." Her hip bones do not fit properly in her hip sockets. She is doing well right now, and we are watching her weight, doing lots of walks, and providing supplements. 

Boo will need extra attention to her physical well being her entire life.dShe needs to stay at a lean weight. Supplements and pain medication will be part of the expenses to expect if you adopt BooBoo. Eventually she may need surgery. Right now she is leading the life of a regular dog. 

She can go up and down one step without a problem. We are working  on training her to get in the car without being lifted by her people. That is coming along well, but still a work in progress. She can play with dogs, but not wrestle or rough play.
