Bootz

Bootz is a Texas native that was adopted and transported to a home in CT. She was promoted for adoption as being dog social and was welcomed to a home with three small dogs. Unfortunately, her adopter soon realized Bootz was not comfortable sharing the home with other dogs. She had to manage a split household while finding an alternative home for Bootz, therefore Bootz spent most of her time running outside in the yard, enjoying the outdoors. Eventually, Our Companions was contacted and we welcomed Bootz to our Sanctuary in 2022 at 3 years old.

This German Shepherd/Lab mix has such a free spirit! She loves running, sniffing, and playing outside! She initially had a hard time adjusting to our Sanctuary routine where she couldn’t just run free as much as she liked in her previous home, but she has acclimated so well to her new lifestyle.

During her first couple years with us, Bootz would bark at other dogs or people that were unfamiliar to her, but with our team’s consistent training and bonding, she has learned to trust in her friends and her barking and stress has significantly decreased. She is so eager to learn new things and always picks up skills so quickly! She does need time to warm up to new people, but with some treats and a walk, Bootz will soon consider you her new best friend! We’re so glad to provide our Sanctuary to Bootz as a stepping stone to give her the skills she needs to thrive in a home of her own! Getting to know Bootz, she can be incredibly goofy and such a snuggle bug to anyone willing to give her the patience and understanding she needs!
