Boon started life as a street dog in Egypt. He is a Baladi mix typically comprised of sighthounds - Salukis, Pharaoh Houds, and Israeli Canaan dogs - which is the most common type of Egyptian street dog. Boon was adopted as a one-year-old in 2018 but unfortunately was surrendered in 2024. Home life for this 7-year-old was too busy and noisy, causing him to react negatively to visitors. He was also skittish around cars and loud noises. Away from all the activity, Boon is learning to relax and adjust to a new life. He needs time to warm up to new people. But if you give him a bit of time, he will start rubbing himself on you and then you are in! You will have made a friend for life. Boon is house-trained, crate trained and walks well on leash. His ideal new home is a quiet one in a suburban or rural setting. If you would like to meet Boon or are interested in adopting him, please fill out an application at https://pawsaboverescue.ca/dog-adoption/ Please visit our website www.pawsaboverescue.ca to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
