My story

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

Boone is a 5 year old boy waiting in New Hampshire for his forever home. His former owners were a nice family who adopted him as a puppy and had to give him up after they had twins and felt they did not have enough time or attention to devote to him. He is a gentle, quiet, independent dog who weighs 75 lbs. He likes to play fetch (a few times!) and tug of war. He is well trained and knows "come," "sit," "lie down," "stay," and "shake paws." He is housetrained and well-mannered: he does not chew, scratch, jump on people, or climb up on furniture (unless you invite him). Boone is currently an "only dog" and would be happier in a home with other dogs and a human who knew how to be a leader of the pack; Boone is not dominant and needs security. Boone is fairly independent and enjoys being in the same room with his humans. Boone is not trained as a hunting dog, but he is definitely happiest when he is out in the woods, sniffing around with his coonhound nose. He loves to go on walks or hikes. He definitely has a strong chase instinct with animals such as squirrels, cats, and raccoons. Boone has done well with children, although he probably does not have endless tolerance for ear- or tail-pulling and roughhousing. He would probably do best in a household with older children or just adults.
