Boomer – 7 Month Old German Shepherd with a Splash of Husky
Hi there! My name is Boomer, and I am a 7 month old German Shepherd with a little Husky mixed in. I earned my name because of my big feet, my large size, and the way I boom through the house with endless energy. My enthusiastic “woo-woo” songs at mealtime probably helped seal the deal too.
Speaking of size, I am currently the heavyweight champ of my litter. At the beginning of March, when I was neutered and microchipped, I weighed in at an impressive 76 pounds. I was a very good boy and took all my medicine as long as it was hidden in wet food. I did end up having to wear the dreaded cone of shame for a bit because I liked my incision a little too much.
Did I mention that I have lots of energy? I love chasing a ball, especially when my foster dad throws it. Sometimes I chase the ball and sometimes I chase my foster dad instead. Both options are equally fun. I also like to “borrow” bones, sticks, and toys from my sisters so we can play tug-of-war or roughhouse around the yard. My auntie, who happens to be a Great Dane, is one of my favorite playmates.
There is an outdoor cat where I live now who keeps her distance. Most of the time I do not pay much attention to her because I would rather be exploring or looking for something fun to do.
When playtime is over, my favorite thing is getting chest and ear rubs from my foster parents. I will happily climb right into your lap for some attention, even though I am a pretty big boy. I have also been good with the foster grandkids, who are 4 and 8 years old. Because of my size and excitement, I might do best in a home with slightly older kids who can keep up with my playful personality.
I am house trained and use a doggy door. I am not crate trained yet, but my foster family is working with me on leash training and meeting new people. I can be a little cautious at first, but with patience, encouragement, and a few treats, I warm up quickly.
My foster family even had DNA tests done on my parents. My mom is 100% German Shepherd, and my dad is 81% German Shepherd and 19% Husky, which explains my handsome looks.
I was born on July 21, 2025 at 1:05 AM.
I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventions.
Now I just need a forever family to share all my energy, love, and goofy personality with. Go ahead and submit an adoption application for me now!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
