You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Boomer is a big easy-going guy, and he is ready to find his furever family! He was found as a stray, picked up by a good citizen and turned into a shelter in Tennessee. He is a great dog who loves people and is calm and laid-back. This very happy boy waits patiently for love and affection and adores belly rubs. If you give him hugs and rubs, he will lean into you with a smile! He is a typical Pyr who digs to find a cool spot to lie down and only barks when he feels it is necessary. Boomer is house broken, crate trained, doesn’t jump on people, and walks well on a leash. He sits without even being asked, hoping for some food and treats - he especially loves cottage cheese! This silly boy likes to stand in his water trough while he drinks. When it comes to other pets, he does fine with other dogs and cats - he even let the resident kitty rub on his face! Boomer also loves car rides and being brushed and is looking for a family that will take him on walks, hikes, and outings to dog-friendly spots. Boomer is an absolute love-bug who is seeking a family that wants to spend their free time with him!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
