Boo is a special needs Sanctuary Dog here at Smiling Dog Farms.
Boo is a dog with aggression issues.
But Boo is different from most aggressive dogs. He loves people. He wants to be with people and he gets attached pretty quickly. He can be the sweetest, most loveable dog. He looks up at you with those big eyes and your heart breaks.
Boo also suffers when he attacks. Its traumatizing for him. After he bites he shakes and drools in his cage. Its heartbreaking. He is a mess. He just can’t help himself. Boo is not a "bad dog" who doesn't deserve to live. We think he simply can not control himself.
Even after the attack on the shelter employee, the staff at the shelter did not want him to be euthanized. They had become very attached to him and hoped to find a way to save his life. And that’s when they contacted Smiling Dog Farms.
He is, however, completely unpredictable. He can be the sweetest most loving dog in the world. Yet there is no telling when he will turn, or why, and when he does, he does not stop. Boo also has a thyroid issue which the vet said can sometimes cause aggression. The vet cannot treat him without him being fully sedated. Anyone who takes care of him must never let their guard down. Boo has to be serviced solely from the outside of his yard, because he is extremely dangerous when he has one of his spells.
Because he had bitten several people, his owner surrendered him to a shelter. The staff at the shelter were very cautious at first because of his bite history. Then the more they got to know Boo, the more they saw he was a sweetheart. They became very fond of him. He never showed any aggression towards them ... until the day one of the workers tried putting a leash on him (which she had done numerous times before) and, without warning, he attacked. He grabbed her arm and broke it in two places. Fortunately there was another worker close by who distracted Boo by bringing another dog into the area. It was only then that Boo turned loose of her arm, to go after the other dog.

Boo NEEDS Sponsors!
As part of our regular budget we try to take a certain number of these unadoptable and unfunded dogs each month, because we know these guys have no "sponsors" and no chance if we say no. Dogs like Boo can’t be adopted, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve a second chance at life.
