Successful Adoption: Meet Boomer

After much searching and streams of paperwork for rescues that got us no where, we finally found our new beloved family member.

Boomer-Jack Russell Mix Pup
Meet Boomer (named after Lt. Boomer, played by Herbert Jefferson Jr. in Battlestar Galactica-1978). He's a five month old Jack Russell mix that is growing by the day. He has gained 5 pounds in the two weeks he has lived with us.

We located our wonderful pup at Greater Rural Rescue (Grrs) in Hoopa. They were super easy to adopt from. I called them up, made an appointment, and brought Maggie down. While someone watched Maggie I went and checked out the kennels. I picked eight dogs for Maggie to meet.  One by one she met the dogs. Some really liked her and she shrugged them off. Others she liked, but they ignored her. Then she met Boomer and there was a click.

Boomer was found at about a month old with his mother and sisters wandering along the Highway in Hoopa.  Luckily the Greater Rural Rescue had space and took them.  His sisters have been successfully adopted. I heard his mother may have been adopted this past Wednesday.

Yet, if you are looking for a dog The Greater Rural Rescue has many. They also have a very reasonable adoption fee of $35 and minimal paperwork.  You can find their most of their dogs listed on Petfinder.
