Boots

Meet Boots,

A young German shepherd cross, who was adopted from ADANA, as a puppy, only a year ago.

The original adopters moved and passed on Boots to others, who did the same …and so on, until we found him, running about in the road, as we drove to the shelter, one January morning.

It was instantly obvious that, during his year away, he had become exceptionally affectionate.

His go-to move is the ‘rub-my-tummy’ which he can execute at considerable speed, bounding across the carpark and landing on his back, paws in the air, at the feet of any approaching volunteer.

Attempt to stop petting him and you will trigger his second special move, which is to immediately jump up, reminding you that, before you leave, you might wish to consider the very important ears that still require scratching.

Continue your attempts to leave and you will find that you now have the beginnings of a conga line.

He walks very well but does not seem to have been socialized with other dogs, and becomes a little insecure, around them.

However, we have already noticed that this reduces as his walks progress, and the excited energy diminishes.

Boots has improved considerably over his time at the shelter, while he keeps waiting for his forever family. Could that family be yours?
