Meet Booker! Booker is an adorable Alabama boy who is ready to trade life on the streets for the comfort and security of a forever home. Booker and his siblings, Story, Palmer, and Major, were found abandoned on the streets of Alabama without their mom. These puppies were far too young to be without their family, but thankfully they were found and given the chance to start over. Now Booker gets to focus on the important things in life: being a puppy, making new friends, discovering the world, and soaking up all the love and attention he deserves. His difficult beginning is only a small part of his story, and we know there are so many happy chapters waiting for him. Booker is looking for a family who will give him the patience, guidance, affection, and lifelong commitment every puppy deserves. In return, he promises to fill your life with plenty of puppy love and, hopefully, a lifetime of memories. Could Booker be your new best friend? Apply to adopt this sweet boy today! Please remember that adoption bios are only snapshots of who an animal is. For more information about Booker, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Apply to adopt this sweet boy today!. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
