Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BOOMER***KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com BOOMER'S STORY- BOOMER LOST HIS BEST FRIEND!! WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF A HIGH KILL SOUTHERN SHELTER LETTING US KNOW THAT BOOMER'S OWNER HAD JUST SURRENDERED BOOMER TO HER SHELTER. BOOMER'S OWNER WAS IN EXTREMELY POOR HEALTH AND AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO KEEP BOOMER THERE WERE GOING TO BE MANY HOSPITAL STAYS AND SURGERIES, HE HAD NO FAMILY OR CLOSE FRIENDS THAT WOULD TAKE BOOMER HIS BEST FRIEND. I'VE ASKED EVERYONE I KNOW BUT NO ONE IN MY FAMILY OR MY CLOSE FRIENDS WILL HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!! "BOOMER IS TRULY SUCH A WONDERFUL FELLOW MY BEST FRIEND AND I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART BUT HE DESERVES MORE THEN I CAN GIVE HIM. HE HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE SINCE HE WAS SIX WEEKS OLD, WITH ME EVERY SINGLE DAY WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER. THIS IS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD TO DO BUT HE DESERVES A LIFE WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL SEE WHAT A GREAT FELLOW HE IS AND LOVE HIM. PLEASE FIND HIM A WONDERFUL HOME". THIS WAS BOOMER'S OWNERS PLEA TO THE SHELTER DIRECTOR. WE IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED THE CALL TELLING US THIS HEARTBREAKING STORY. "BOOMER DOESN'T BELONG HERE, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS AND WHY HIS OWNER LEFT HIM HE IS A FAMILY DOG. CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS THE DIRECTORS PLEA TO US. THE MINUTE WE HEARD ABOUT BOOMER WE COULDN'T GET TO HIM FAST ENOUGH, WHEN WE SAW THIS GORGEOUS FELLOW WE GAVE HIM A PAT HIS TAIL BEGAN TO WAG EVER SO SLIGHTLY MAYBE HE KNEW WE WERE THERE TO HELP. BOOMER PRANCED OUT OF THE SHELTER THAT DAY EYES SPARKLING, TAIL WAGGING ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE AND WHEN OUR VOLUNTEER PUT BOOMER IN HER CAR HE GAVE HER A LICK ON HER HAND MAYBE THIS WAS HIS WAY OF SAYING "THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME".
BOOMER--*** WOW!!! ONE BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LAB!!! PLAYFUL--SO LOVING--BEYOND GORGEOUS!!! BOOMER IS THE MOST STRIKING, 4 YR. OLD, "SILVER" LABRADOR RETRIEVER!! THE "SILVER" LAB IS INDEED A PUREBRED LABRADOR. THE COLOR OCCURS WHEN A GENE IS "DILUTE" AND INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL YELLOW--BLACK OR CHOCOLATE THE RESULT IS A GORGEOUS RICH DOVE GREY. THERE ARE LAB BREEDERS WHO RAISE JUST "SILVER" LABS THIS UNIQUE COLOR HAD BEEN AROUND SINCE THE TWENTIES. NOT A COLOR YOU SEE EVERYDAY BUT ONCE YOU DO SEE A SILVER LAB THEY WILL LITERALLY STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!! NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE, THIS PUP GOES WAY BEYOND PRETTY!!! THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE IS "THAT COAT" IS FLAWLESS, CUDDLE SOFT, A GLISTENING SLATE GRAY, SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW ALL DAY AND AS MUCH AS BOOMER ADORES AFFECTION AND ATTENTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. NEXT THOSE EYES THEY WILL TRULY MAKE YOU MELT, THEY ARE A PALE PALE HONEY COLOR, SO PALE IN FACT THEY ALMOST APPEAR IRIDESCENT. BOOMER IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION, HE HAS THE GLOWING LABRADOR TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, IT IS THESE TRAITS WHICH MAKE THE LAB THE NUMBER ONE FAMILY COMPANION. THE MINUTE YOU CALL HIS NAME HIS GORGEOUS FACE WILL LIGHT UP, OVER TO YOU HE'S COMING, TAIL WAGGING, EYES TWINKLING. HE WILL REST HIS HEAD RIGHT IN YOUR LAP ASKING FOR A PAT OR A HUG, WHICH HE ADORES. HE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN ATTENTION AND AFFECTION FROM THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HIM--HIS FAMILY. YOU COULD ALSO CALL BOOMER OUR AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL FOR HE ABSOLUTELY ADORES ALL DOGS, HE GREETS WITH A HAPPY TAIL WAG AND HIS "WANNA PLAY" LOOK. BOOMER IS HAPPY FROM THE MINUTE THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES POP OPEN IN THE MORNING TIL HE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT TIRED FROM A FUN DAY OF PLAY. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH BOOMER JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS TO GO. START YOUR DAY WITH AN EARLY MORNING WALK TO THE DOG PARK JUST A CHANCE FOR BOOMER TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY. BOOMER WILL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, TAIL WAGGING, HAPPY AND CURIOUS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS TO SEE ALONG THE WAY. JINGLE YOU CAR KEYS BUT YOU BETTER BE QUICK BOOMER WILL BEAT YOU TO YOUR SEAT, HE WILL TURN HIS HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU A LOOK WITH THOSE DREAMY EYES THAT SEEMS TO SAY "COME ON WE'VE GOT PLACES TO GO, ERRANDS AROUND TOWN TO RUN". IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE BEACH BOY IS BOOMER READY, HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY CHASING HIS BALL DOWN THE SHORELINE AND THEN WE BET DIVING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY WAVE HE COULD FIND TO COOL OFF!! THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE, BOOMER IS SOOOOO SMART!!! HE IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND DELIGHTS IN PLEASING HIS OWNER. HE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE WHEN HE KNOWS HE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASES THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HIM, HIS FAMILY!!! HE IS INDEED AN "OPEN BOOK" A GORGEOUS FELLOW WITH HUGE POTENTIAL. IT'S UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES OF HIS BOOK WITH HUGS, PATS, KISSES, PLAY, BUT MOST IMPORTANT FILL HIS BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A PUP WHO DEARLY LOVES HIS FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. A GENTLE, "GO WITH THE FLOW" FELLOW WHO'S ONLY REQUEST IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE TO READ A BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE IN HIS HOME BOOMER CONTINUES TO SHINE, YOU WILL FIND BOOMER CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WILL BE ONE OF CONTENTMENT, HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY AND TO BOOMER IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. THIS IS THE ONLY LIFE BOOMER HAS KNOWN THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. WHEN IT'S TIME FOR BED BOOMER WILL SNUGGLE ON HIS BED JUST AS LONG AS IT'S AS CLOSE TO YOUR BED AS HE CAN BE. IF THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR FAMILY IS ONE THAT IS AFFECTIONATE, DEEPLY TRUSTING, FUN, HAPPY AND WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LABS YOU WILL EVER SEE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND YOU NEW "BEST FRIEND"!!! HE IS ONE EXCEPTIONAL FELLOW!! YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY BOOMER IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A TAIL WAG, AND A PUP WHO EVERY TIME HE LOOKS AT YOU HE HAS A LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT SEEMS TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" HE DOES!!!! WE FEEL AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH BOOMER THAT HE WOULD BE A DELIGHTFUL COMPANION FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN THAT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BOOMER AS THEIR BEST FRIEND. WHAT HAPPENED TO BOOMER WAS NOT HIS FAULT JUST A VERY VERY SAD HEARTBREAKING SITUATION, WE PROMISED THE SHELTER DIRECTOR WE WOULD FIND HIM A WONDERFUL HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WOULD SEE WHAT A TREASURE BOOMER IS AND LOVE HIM FOREVER THIS IS A PROMISE WE INTEND TO KEEP.
