08/15/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: There are so many reasons to fall in love with Kaboom, but you seriously have to love a dog who hugs the vet!! I had Kaboom in a backyard pen and when the vet didn’t find him in his kennel he came out back to examine him there. Kaboom has a slight limp and we’re trying to determine the cause. Kaboom was a total wiggle butt during the exam, standing on his hind legs to give the vet a big hug and a kiss. Sooooooooooo sweet! He’s an awesome dog found with his friend Giggle (A1047616). He seems to be housetrained, using the ‘facilities’ as soon as we were out the door and we took a short walk so that he could show off his nice leash manners. He takes treats gently, seems to love love love other dogs, comes when called, loves all people and loves to cuddle. I mean seriously…..he’s irresistible! Kaboom’s coat is a bit thin so he needs some good nutrition to restore it to it’s full luster. His amazing personality, sweet disposition and good manners earned him a rock star behavior assessment indicating he’ll be a good fit in just about any home. If you love hugs and kisses, and are ready for a lifetime of them, than Kaboom is the dog you want to meet. Ask for him today.
