Boop is a 50-pound girl who loves to bounce and hop around, and can’t resist someone who has a treat for her. She’s super smart, too, and will show off how well she knows her “sit,” “shake,” “beg,” “down” and “stay” commands, and is eager to learn much more. Boop isn’t keen on cats and tends to like other dogs that she can play fairly rough with, though she’s extremely friendly. Boop will probably do best with kids who are 8 years old and older, especially since she’s still basically a big, energetic puppy. With lots of brain work and exercise, she will thrive. Boop loves to play with all of the volunteers at APS, but has been at the shelter since May and is dreaming of the day she can be someone’s loyal companion.
