Boone suffered a major traumatic event in his life when his mom died suddenly. A few days later he ran away from home and was picked up by Animal Control and taken to the shelter. Since CWVRG had agreed to take Boone and his sister Lucy back into rescue, Rita picked Boone up from the shelter and drove him to meet up with his foster mom in Denver who drove up from Albuquerque. Fast-forward five and a half months…..

Pat and Jim drove down to Albuquerque from Taos to meet Boone. It’s fair to say that it was love at first sight. Jim could not take his hands off of Boone, and Boone turned all his charm onto both of these wonderful people. Pat and Jim took Boone for a walk before heading home, and after a short walk he was their dog.

The final member of Boone’s new family is Huey, a black cat. Huey had been devoted to his former dog sibling, but he didn’t know what to make of this gentle giant. After a few days of supervision, Huey warmed up to Boone and they are now friends.

Pat takes Boone on long walks, and he will get to go hiking with Pat and Jim once the weather improves. Boone is happy and well loved by his new family. Pat says, “It's amazing how quickly Boone has adjusted to our household routines. There are no behavioral issues at all and his sweet temperament and sunny disposition make him a joy to have around. He might be the perfect dog!” - Carolyn
