Boone - Black Mouth Cur and Bullmastiff Dog for Adoption in La Grange, Kentucky

Boone has quite the life story.

Boone went out on a home trial years ago when he suddenly became very ill. After veterinary examination, it was discovered that he had inhaled fungal spores from the soil, resulting in a serious fungal infection. Boone returned to our care and spent a long time receiving treatment. There were moments when we weren't sure he would pull through, but Boone proved just how resilient he is.

Boone was also a participant in our former Camp K-9 program and quickly became a favorite of our Dog Team's Adoption Coordinator. In 2023, he found a home.

Unfortunately, life circumstances have brought Boone back to us. His owner is relocating and was unable to find housing that would allow him to keep both Boone and his companion, Sammy. While Boone and Sammy get along wonderfully and could certainly be adopted together, Boone is also available to find a home of his own.

Now 6 years old, Boone is entering his distinguished gentleman era. His ideal home includes a sunny spot for afternoon naps, a yard or walking path for sniffing adventures, and people who appreciate the simple joys of life. Boone has shown positive interest in other dogs through fences and glass barriers, and we can cat-test him upon request. We have not yet had the opportunity to evaluate him around children and will update his bio as we learn more.

After everything he's been through, Boone deserves another, happier ending. If you'd like to meet this resilient, handsome gentleman, submit an application today!
