Feb 2026 - things are URGENT for Boomer because his owner is soon moving to council accommodation that won’t allow dogs.
Boomer is a friendly 4 year old boy who we rehomed 2.5 years ago. Sadly, his dad now has a few health issues that mean he cannot give him the time and exercise that he needs, so we are looking for a NEW HOME for him. If you are interested in helping him after reading his details, please email us on gsprescueuk@gmail.com . If you’ve already sent a form in – please still let us know if you are interested in Boomer.
Boomer is a lovely, excitable boy who loves human interaction. In his current home he has become VERY attached to his dad. He is rarely left alone and does not cope well; he barks if left, even for very short times, like in a car, and can cause some damage. Even if he is with other people, he will bark and not settle, constantly looking for dad.
Due to his dad’s mobility issues he isn’t getting out running as much as he used to. He’s an energetic dog and needs a home with experience of training, and an owner who wants to do something like mantrailing, agility or canicross with him. He needs lots of stimulation and structured training, more than your average pet dog. He used to have OK recall and knew some commands, like ‘come’ and ‘close’ and had some whistle recall, but that is weaker now, possibly due to him not having as much input as he needs.
He needs a home where he does not need to be left alone. Ideally a home with someone experienced in dealing with separation anxiety, who can help him improve with management and training, and to be more flexible. He needs a very secure garden – he will jump fences, and out of windows, if he is looking for his dad! He has attended doggy day care but he doesn’t settle well, so this isn’t necessarily helping him. He’s great with children but is very clumsy, knocking toddlers over, so older children would be OK. He’s also great with other dogs.
A bit of his history-
Boomer has already had two previous homes. In his first post-puppy home he was with a family with four children aged from 1 to 13 years old. With work and four children, those owners didn’t have time to work on any training with him, so he was rehomed within the family to his second home, at 7 months. His second owner then had to move home and lived in a busy house on a farm. Even though he was with four other dogs, he couldn’t be left at all. He escaped from the farm a few times, when left, so his owner made the sad decision to rehome him – he was around 18 months old. Living on that farm meant he saw cats and livestock lots. He was curious but didn’t chase (however his current owner says he now chases).
Boomer is a healthy, active boy. He has a few bumps on his legs from being clumsy but none cause issues. He eats good quality kibble that helps settle his stomach. He is neutered. He currently sleeps on his dad’s bed. He travels OK in a car.
Boomer is currently near Arundel/Chichester. If you think you could give this boy his forever home, where you can continue to work on his general training and separation anxiety, then please email us on gsprescueuk@gmail.com.
Boomer will be rehomed with Agria 5 weeks insurance, under our Adoption Contract and GSP Rescue UK terms and conditions apply.
