This adorable pup was confiscated from their breeder through no fault of their own and is now ready to find a family that will give them the love and care they deserve.
Boerboels, originally from South Africa, are known for their loyalty, strength, and devotion to their families. Bred to guard farms and livestock, they are natural protectors but also incredibly affectionate and loyal to their human pack. Despite their large size, Boerboels are surprisingly agile and gentle, making them great family companions when properly trained and socialized.
At just 6 months old, Ronnie has plenty of playful energy and curiosity, with a friendly disposition toward people and other dogs. They’re making good progress on basic obedience and have the potential to thrive with continued training. Their strong protective instincts will also develop as they grow, so they’ll need a family that is experienced with large breeds and is committed to consistent training.

• Background: Confiscated from breeder, ready for a fresh start
• Temperament: Playful, loving, and protective
