Story
Hi. My name is Boone. Yes… Boone in a red bucket.
You’re probably wondering why a perfectly good dog is sitting in a bright red bucket like a rejected toy from aisle seven. Allow me to explain.
This photo was taken right after my very first trip to the groomer, while I waited for my foster mom to pick me up. Before that? A very kind lady found me on the streets, and my hair was so matted and tangled that she actually broke her clippers trying to shave me. I wish I were exaggerating. I’m not. It hurt. I had clearly been on my own for a while.
Thankfully, that nice lady brought me to Twilight Tails, and they sent me to a professional to finish the job. Just you wait until my hair grows back in—I am going to be quite the looker. For now, let’s call this my “minimalist phase”.
So, about me:
We’ve agreed I’m some kind of Mini Schnauzer/Terrier/Maltese mix, about 12 pounds, and roughly 2 years old. Compact, portable, and perfect for cuddling.
My foster mom says I am VERY affectionate and lovable, which is true. I don’t love being left alone in those wire crate things—I much prefer being with my person. If I could explain it better, I would, but I think “please don’t leave me” covers it.
I have medium energy, I play nicely with other dogs, but if given the choice, I will pick my human every single time. I may seem shy for about five minutes, and then I’m all hugs, kisses, and devotion. Also, treats. I really love treats. I had never had them before. Same with toys. I’m still figuring those out.
At night, I sleep at the foot of my foster mom’s bed. In the morning, when the lights come on, I immediately cover her with kisses. This is non-negotiable.
I walk well on a leash, and now that I have a sweater, I’m very happy to go for neighborhood walks. I would do great in an apartment or a home with a yard. Other dogs are fine but not required. I’d probably be okay with cats too—I’m pretty sure I met a few while surviving on the streets.
I am the perfect dog for someone who wants a loving, loyal companion. I don’t need much—just a person to love and a place to belong.
I hope to meet my forever family soon.
I promise to love you forever.
Boone

MORE DETAILS:
Boone is neutered, microchipped & vaccinated and would benefit from being adopted by a dog-loving person who understands he has so much to offer but will need a little time to adjust and settle in with his new family.
NOTE: THIS IS AN "OUT OF TOWN PET" - that means he is not at this location but we do have transport here - more about transport below. Our Rescue is Houston based (https://www.facebook.com/TwilightTailsRescue) and all our fosters and Rescue Ranch are in and around Houston.
Currently this Boone is being fostered at our Rescue Ranch near Houston, TX but can be brought close to your home on rescue transport which comes through your area once a month. Transport info below.
Adoption fee is $495 plus $30 for a health certificate and $250 for transport.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.
We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!
