My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Boy. I came into the shelter after my previous owner was no longer able to care for me. I am a friendly, curious and energetic fella. I enjoy long walk and I would love to learn new tricks for yummy treats! It is unknown how I am with other animals so staff recommends slow and monitored introductions. Please ask staff if you have any questions about me. I hope to meet you! :)

INSIGHTS FROM MY CARETAKERS:
`Boyd has the holiday spirit and is ready to find his home for the holidays! Don`t let his kennel energy fool you, he is a complete dream dog with good boy manners. He is very smart and treat motivated. He knows sit, is learning wait and stay, and responds very well to his name and commands. Check him out on a recent Saturday in the play yard showing off the skills he learned in less than 15 minutes. He is cuddly, goofy, sweet and loves to play. He is curious, easily redirected, takes treats gently and loves to lean in for scratches and pets. This is a fantastic dog who deserves a chance. Come meet him and be the lucky forever family who gets to love this sweet guy.`
`Boyd was excited when we picked him up at the shelter, and totally loved going on a 4-mile hike at Carolina North Forest. He has a lot of energy and was strong for the whole hike, trotting and sniffing along the side of the trail. He did pull on the leash quite a bit because he liked going at his own pace and had a lot of energy to burn off. More practice should help with that. Boyd was friendly, cheerful, and playful. He sat nicely for treats and especially loved his pup cup after the hike. I sat with him in the backseat on the way back to the shelter and he just wanted to give kisses and snuggle up. I
