His previous owner was tragically diagnosed with cancer and forced to surrender his sweet boys. Bo has done well in adapting and settling into his foster. Other Dogs | Bo is dog friendly. He loves to play! Cats | Bo has not been cat tested. The rescue cannot speak to how he would do in a house with kitties. Children | Bo does well with kiddos! He would make an amazing family dog as long as children are respectful and kind! And throw him crumbs occasionally. ;) Bo is being foster with a tiny kiddo in Houston and is so gentle with him. He doesn't try to take food from him and will gently take it from the kiddos hands when offered. Training | In progress. He will continue to learn with time!Leash | Your basic lab on a leash - lots of wiggles, lots of excitement! Activity Level | Moderate. Health | This chunky boy could afford to skip dessert but is otherwise healthy!Thank you! | Adoption Donations |  Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age.
