Boomer

Hello, my name is Boomer. My animal id is #18102. I am a desexed female brown brindle dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 11-Jan-2018.

**RETURNED 1/11/18, SAFER: NEW HOPE ONLY**

Boomer was placed at risk due to behavioral concerns. Due to the warning and distance-increasing behaviors shown in the care center, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide force free behavior modification.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A volunteer writes: I just love a dog who has an Arsenal of tricks in her back pocket to pull out at a moments notice. When I asked Boomer to sit it was like she went into auto play: sit, give paw, down and I quickly found out she knew how to roll over too! But that’s Boomer-she’s a GOOD girl! She was adopted last year, but recently returned by no fault of her own. Unfortunately, her owner went into ICU and can therefore no longer care for her. We’re told, however, that Boomer is friendly with strangers and children, and she loves tug and fetch. She’s very housetrained and will let you know she needs to go by approaching her leash! Currently, and in her previous stay, Boomer was utilized as a social greeter dog in play group and has proven herself to be social and tolerant with other dogs! Boomer knows how to make herself memorable. I know she’ll making a lasting impression on you too. Ask to meet her today.

My medical notes are…
