Bo - Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle Dog Available for Adoption in Algood, Tennessee

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.

Meet Bo, a joyful young Goldendoodle with a playful spirit, a heart full of love, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. At 13 months old and 48 pounds, Bo is the perfect mix of goofy puppy energy and sweet affection. He’s happiest when he’s with his people, playing with dog friends, or proudly carrying around one of his favorite toys. Bo is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, children, and strangers alike. He truly loves making new friends and approaches life with a gentle, eager-to-please attitude. When excitement kicks in, Bo’s adorable kangaroo-style hops are impossible not to laugh at, and when the busy day winds down, he transforms into a cuddly snuggle bug who just wants to curl up close to his favorite humans. This smart boy already knows commands like sit, quiet, and leave it, and he’s currently working on learning more. He’s very food-motivated and loves having a job to do, making him an excellent candidate for continued training and enrichment activities. Bo walks nicely on leash, enjoys toys of every kind, especially balls, squeaky toys, chew toys, and plush beds — and thrives when he has plenty of exercise and companionship. Bo is mostly house-trained and does best with a consistent schedule and routine. He’s also making progress with crate training, though he still experiences some anxiety due to difficult experiences in his past. What Bo really wants is reassurance, patience, and a family that understands how much he loves being part of the action. He’s a soft-hearted “people pleaser” who simply wants to feel safe, included, and loved. Because of his high energy and social personality, Bo would thrive in a home where someone is around often and where he has opportunities for play, exercise, and interaction. Another friendly dog would likely make him very happy, and a fenced yard or active lifestyle would help him burn off his playful puppy energy in healthy ways. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will greet every day with enthusiasm, loyalty, and a toy in his mouth, Bo is ready to bounce his way straight into your heart.
