If you're looking for a big ol' sweetheart from deep in the heart of Texas, Boots is your boy. House trained and always ready for loving. He loves to run outside and play and take nice long naps afterwards. He is loving towards children and is good with cats. He could be in a home with other dogs or by himself but would do great with another canine companion. He particularly enjoys dogs that can keep up with him as they play. He is a tank when they play but understands to be gentle with the smaller dogs. He is still learning to control his body and would be great with another dog who also likes to play and take nice long naps after. He has been good with submissive and dominant dogs from the foster's experience with him. Boots is a big goofball that loves to play and has been great with the foster's 9 year old daughter. He is not a guarder of any sort and just goes with the flow. Like most dogs he doesn't like loud noises but does not cower or hide and more goes to see what it could of been that startled him. He is a sweetheart.
Ideal home: A home with someone who will be able to give him the attention and exercise he needs. He is great with cats who don't mind a goofy dog getting in their face or laying on them as a pillow. He can keep to himself or be part of a pack of dogs.
