Bo is a handsome, bright-eyed boy, who has been waiting for his forever home for over 250 days now. He is a Great Dane X Catahoula, who loves showing off his affectionate personality!

Bo’s personality:
Bo is a very handsome boy (as you can see!), with beautiful leopard markings. His long legs and clumsy puppy stride, are so endearing to watch as he races around after his favourite ball during playtime. As playful as Bo is, he also loves some quiet time where he can snuggle up with his humans as they adoringly pat his head. Snuggles from his new family are definitely a non-negotiable according to Bo!
Bo shows so much curiosity about the world around him, which is amazing considering the life he came from – highlighting his adaptability and bravery. He loves to explore on walks and will sit patiently while being harnessed for his daily exercise. Bo is very eager to please, meaning he takes to learning very well and will excel by receiving ongoing training in his new home. He also loves his food, which will make it even easier!
Bo will provide so much love and unwavering companionship to his new family, let alone so much joy as you watch his personality shine!

Bo’s ideal forever home:
Bo would suit a home where he is able to receive copious amounts of love and affection. A daily exercise routine is also a must for him, with a nice walk and some playtime in his fully fenced backyard. Bo would be best suited to a home where the children are comfortable with large doggies - being able to throw a ball for him would be a big bonus too! Bo would love to have another doggy companion at home, one that he can play with and chase around the yard. Bo has not been tested around pocket pets or small animals at this stage.

Bo’s story:
Bo was found wandering in the rural Cedar Party area in December, alongside another doggy, Rocky. They were taken in by a member of the public and then picked up by the RSPCA. Following this, they both sadly ended up in the local pound in an extremely underweight condition. Due to their condition, we were allowed to take them in under duty of care to ensure that they received medical attention and lots of nutritious food. Shortly after arriving and being assessed by the vet, they moved into foster care, where they continued to receive lots of love and 3 nutrient-filled meals a day. This was only a short term arrangement until we had some space and Rocky has now been lucky enough to have found his forever home!
Bo is still patiently waiting, but enjoys spending his days playing with other doggies at the rescue, going for walks and having lots of cuddles.

Bo’s medical history:
Bo arrived in our care extremely underweight at only 20.4kg. He had a heavy burden of roundworm, fleas and ticks. After receiving appropriate treatment for these and a good quality diet, Bo slowly started to put weight on and finally had some energy. He is now a very healthy weight for his size (38.6kg) and is so much happier and healthier! Bo was recently desexed and is also microchipped, fully vaccinated and up to date with parasitic preventatives.
