Boogie
Profile
Boogie is a two year old male mixed breed who came into RAGOM when his owner's circumstances changed. He was an outdoor dog and is learning what it's like to be a house dog. Boogie is good with kids of all ages. Boogie can live with other dogs, but is selective, so would be fine as only dog. His recall is ok, so might be ok without a physical fence, but will need continued training and a plan to keep him safe. Boogie has not been tested with cats.

Meet Boogie! A 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever home.
I’ve fostered a few dozen dogs over the years, mostly Golden Retrievers. Boogie is not a Golden Retriever. According to his paperwork, he’s a Great Pyrenees mix, and I can see that. He has the size and face of a Pyrenees, with a rich coat that makes me wonder if there’s some Shepherd or Collie mixed in.
Boogie came into RAGOM’s care after his owner surrendered him to a local shelter due to life changes. He reportedly does well with children and gets along with other dogs for the most part, although he can be picky and needs slow introductions. He has had little experience with house life, formal training, or toys of his own.
So, what’s Boogie like?
He arrived as a very anxious boy, but he’s settling in nicely. His confidence is growing, and his affection for his people knows few bounds. He wants to follow you around, although sometimes he talks himself out of it and decides to stay put. He still needs encouragement to go outside, but coming back in is never a problem.
Boogie loves his walks and adventures. He walks ahead with little pulling, though he can fixate on squirrels in the distance. He doesn’t chase them, but he can become quite committed to watching them.
He’s settled into our routine, sleeps through the night, takes care of business on our walks, and knows when dinner is served and where his bowl belongs.
Now, for a little honesty. Boogie has a thing for shoes. I’ve lost three pairs, although I’ll take responsibility for at least two of those incidents. After implementing Operation Shoe Up, we’ve had no further problems. He hasn’t directed that interest toward furniture, but toys like Lamb Chop don’t stand a chance in his presence.
Boogie also has a few funny contradictions. He doesn’t want to go outside, but he’s happy to come back in. He’s not a fan of getting into the car, but he’s perfectly fine once inside and happy to get out. Baths are much the same story. He’s reluctant to start an activity but generally settles in once it’s underway.
Boogie needs a patient home that will give him time to build confidence, learn the ropes, and feel safe. He’s still figuring out this whole house-dog business, but he’s making progress every day.
If you’re looking for a big, affectionate boy with a little uncertainty, a few quirks, and plenty of love to give, Boogie might be your guy.
