Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BOGGS***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com BOGGS' STORY---WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH TELLING US OF A VERY SAD AND HEARTBREAKING SITUATION. ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS LABS SHE HAD EVER SEEN WAS JUST SURRENDERED TO HER SHELTER. THE LAB NAMED BOGGS WAS GIVEN UP BY HIS FAMILY WHEN DO TO AN URGENT LIFE STYLE CHANGE THEY WERE NOT LONGER ABLE TO KEEP BOGGS. "THIS IS THE HARDEST THING WE HAVE EVER HAD TO DO, BOGGS IS OUR BEST FRIEND WE LOVE HIM DEARLY. HE HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR FAMILY SINCE HE WAS A TINY 6 WK OLD PUPPY. HE SLEEPS IN OUR CHILDREN'S ROOM AT NIGHT, LOVES TO TAKE CAR RIDES WITH US AND WE ARE HEART BROKEN BUT OUR LIFE HAS CHANGED AND WE CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR BOGGS. PLEASE FIND HIM A WONDERFUL HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS WE DO, HE DESERVES A GREAT LIFE AND WE CAN NO LONGER GIVE HIM THE TIME AND CARE HE DESERVES" WAS BOGGS' OWNERS PLEA TO THE SHELTER DIRECTOR. WE IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED THE CALL FROM THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TELLING US WHAT A GRAND FELLOW BOGGS WAS. "HE IS THE SWEETEST FELLOW, SO LOVING, TRAINED AND SO SMART. HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP HIM? THE MINUTE WE HEARD THIS TRAGIC STORY WE COULDN'T GET TO BOGGS FAST ENOUGH. THE MINUTE WE SAW HIM, GAVE HIM A PAT AND A TREAT HIS OTTER TAIL BEGAN TO WAG AND IT HASN'T STOPPED SINCE. BOGGS LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES SPARKLING, PRANCING ALONG AND WHEN WE OPENED OUR CAR DOOR IN HE HOPPED, HE EVEN GAVE OUR VOLUNTEER A LICK ON HER HAND, MAYBE THIS WAS HIS WAY OF SAYING "THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME"!!!"***BOGGS--- "OUR GOLDEN BOY" ONE MAJESTIC, GORGEOUS GUY!!! BOGGS IS A 3-4 YEAR OLD, PUREBRED YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER, THIS IS ONE "SHOW STOPPING" FELLOW!!! IN FACT THE KENTUCKY LAB RESCUE DIRECTOR WHO IS ALSO A TRAINER COMMENTED "THIS ONE I WOULD KEEP!!". THIS PUP IS SO BEAUTIFUL HE WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY. HE IS A COMBINATION OF GRANDEUR, GOOD NATURE, ALERTNESS AND DOCILITY. BOGGS' APPEARANCE IS JUST STRIKING, HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, A WARM, RICH DEEP HONEY COLOR, BOGGS LOOKS LIKE HE WAS HAND PAINTED. HE IS AN EXQUISITELY BUILT GUY WITH A CLEARLY ETCHED HEAD, NOW ADD THE LAB GENTLE, KIND "I LOVE YOU" LOOK, HIS EYES ARE A WARM, PALE SUNLIT, COLOR, THAT WILL MAKE YOU MELT, ELEGANT IN APPEARANCE, OF PROUD CARRIAGE, AND GLOWING TEMPERAMENT. A GORGEOUS GUY YES, BUT WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS PUP MOVE, HE HAS A WELL CHISELED OUTLINE AND MOVES WITH THE COORDINATION OF A WELL TRAINED ATHLETE. BOGGS DOESN'T JUST WALK HE SEEMS TO PRANCE AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE, WITH HIS SMOOTH FLOWING GAIT, IT SEEMS AS IF HE IS FLOATING THROUGH AIR. HIS SILHOUETTE IS CLEARLY DEFINED, SHARPLY ETCHED, UNBLURRED, BOGGS IN MOTION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. BOGGS IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION PUP WHO ADORES PEOPLE, A PUP WHO IS HAPPIEST WHEN HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY, THIS IS THE ONLY LIFE BOGGS HAS EVER KNOWS, THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. HE IS A PUP WHO IS EXTREMELY DEVOTED TO THOSE HE LOVES MAKING THIS ONE OF HIS MOST ENDURING QUALITIES. BOGGS JUST WANTS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIFE OF HIS OWNER. TALK ABOUT A GREAT JOGGING OR HIKING BUDDY BOGGS WILL "PRANCE" ALONG CLOSE TO YOU, HEAD HELD HIGH, ALERT, TAKING ALL THE SITES ALONG THEY WAY. BETTER ALLOW A FEW EXTRA MINUTES FOR YOUR WALK OR JOG SO YOU CAN STOP AND LET FOLKS SEE THIS EXQUISITE FELLOW. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A TRIP TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS SO BOGGS COULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, AND WE BET WHEN IT'S WARMER SWIMMING IN ANY WATER HE COULD FIND, JUST TAKING IN THE GRANDEUR OF NATURE, BOGGS' PERFECT WEEKEND. IN THE EVENING WHEN YOU SETTLED IN TO READ A GOOD BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE CHANCES ARE YOU WOULD FIND BOGGS CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING, CONTENT KNOWING YOU ARE NEAR. IN A HOME SETTING HE IS BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED, HOUSE TRAINED, CRATE TRAINED, RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HIS TO PLAY WITH AND THINGS TO LEAVE ALONE, HE IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN. THERE IS ALSO ONE MORE PART TO THIS GRAND DOG'S PACKAGE, BOGGS IS SOOOO SMART!!!!! HE IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO ABSORB AND RETAIN TRAINING. ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO HE FINDS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE, BOGGS LOVES TO FIND MEANING AND A REASON FOR THE COMMANDS GIVEN HIM. HE IS A HIGHLY VERSATILE DOG, EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH, WANTING TO PLEASE. HE IS TREAT MOTIVATED WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR A PUP THIS SMART!!! WE FEEL THAT AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THIS GRAND "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR BOGGS WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN WHO WOULD DELIGHT HAVING BOGGS AS THEIR BEST FRIEND. THE LABRADOR BREED IS A BREED THAT IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO THEIR FAMILY ALWAYS WATCHFUL TO SEE THAT THOSE THEY LOVE ARE SAFE AND CARED FOR. THEY CHERISH TIME SPENT WITH THEIR FAMILY, LOVING DEEPLY AND FOREVER. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE A COMPANION THAT IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT--LOYAL--OBEDIENT-EVEN TEMPERED AND BEYOND BEAUTIFUL, A DOG THAT POSSESSES THE "GOOD" TRAITS OF THE LABRADOR BREED MAKING BOGGS ONE "GREAT" DOG, HAVING TRAITS THAT HAVE ENDEARED THE LAB TO THEIR OWNERS FOR GENERATIONS THEN LOOK NO FURTHER BOGGS IS YOUR PUP. THE LAB IS KNOW FOR BEING A FAITHFUL COMPANIONS AND UNWAVERING FRIENDS, A DOG WITH THE HEART AND SPIRIT OF A GENTLEMAN. IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO BECOME A PART OF YOUR LIFE AND A DOG WHO ONCE HE GIVES HIS FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY IT IS GIVEN FOREVER, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND BOGGS.
