CHILDREN: 5+ (sturdy)
CATS: Indoor perhaps
DOGS: Yes
OWNER NOTE:
Bo loves
ear, head, belly, and cheek scratches! His favorite thing seems to be
putting his snout in my lap when I sit down and exposing the back of his
head for his ears to be scratched. His ears are so great! Bo loves to
play on the ground. I have to get down on the ground and he will come
and lay down and "wrestle" a bit before he wants his belly rubs. Bo
loves to go on hikes and does not mind 6-8 miles. He is a great trail
companion. We have had Bo at Lincoln City beach, on and off leash (e
collar on), and he is friendly with other dogs and does not engage with
close passersby unless given permission. He is socially great with
other humans and is not aggressive with other dogs. I will absolutely
miss him.
Gentle
giant Bo is a 6 year old neutered male Weimaraner looking for a new home
to call his own. This incredibly friendly fella is very open to
approaching/receiving affection from both familiar and unfamiliar humans
alike and gets along great with dogs large and small BUT because of his
115# frame he can be a bit much for the petite framed Dachshunds he
currently lives/plays with and occasionally steps on by accident.
Though
Bo is large in stature, don’t let that fool you into thinking he is fat
and lazy as this guy can easily hike 6-8 miles before showing signs of
slowing down. Bo has been with his current owner for roughly 9 months
after he was taken in following the passing of his very weim experienced
and elderly original owners.
What Bo’s current owner did not, and could
not, know at the time he took him in was just how much Bo enjoyed
chicken, both those left on the counter and more problematically those
that reside on the neighboring properties... Although Bo is very much a
velcro dog who his owner lovingly describes as “in my back pocket all of
the time”, Bo can certainly detach the velcro after a bit of time
outdoors so that he can go visit his “friends” the chickens which is
understandably causing strains for those involved and Bo’s desire to go
visit them is proving stronger than the ability to constrain him.
Interestingly Bo has grown to accept the housecat through training but
he will still give a good chase to any cats which cross into his land
outdoors.
Behaviorally in general his owner is thrilled with Bo as he is
wildly loyal and despite being a velcro dog can still be left
unattended in the home without issue (so long as the counters are
clear). Bo enjoys riding in vehicles, is potty trained, dog door
trained, hand signal and e-collar trained in addition to knowing his
basic commands
If you
believe Bo might be the perfect addition to your chicken free and fully
fenced home, please submit an application below so that we can reach out
