BIO: Boom is a sweet, older lady we met at a small shelter in Georgia. She’s a people-friendly girl who enjoys calm, polite greetings and has shown an easygoing, neutral attitude around other dogs. With her gentle demeanor and steady presence, Boom is ready for a fresh start and a home where she can finally relax and be cared for as a beloved companion.
HER FOSTER SAYS: “Boom likes to nap in her crate but she comes out every 2 hours or so to get pet and it's the sweetest thing ever.”

From a shelter in GA, she was rescued from a home where she was mistreated. Boom traveled north mid-January 2026.

Meet Boom — proof that sometimes the quietest dogs make the biggest impact.
Named after the UGA’s beloved bulldog mascot, Boom isn’t exactly charging the field… but give her time. This gentle girl is more of a slow build than a kickoff return, and once she trusts you, her presence lands in that soft, steady way that makes a house feel like home.
Boom has clearly had a rough start, and she’s still figuring out that the world can be kind. She’s shy and can be unsure with new people at first, but don’t mistake that for disinterest — her tail is usually wagging the whole time. She warms up thoughtfully and on her own timeline, and when she does, it’s incredibly sweet. Every couple of hours she’ll quietly emerge from her crate just to ask for some pets, then happily retreat back to rest. It’s heartbreakingly adorable.
She’s low-energy and proudly so. Boom is a couch potato who excels at cuddling, lounging, and supervising naps. She’s crate trained, mostly house-trained (a few early nerves aside), and easy to live with overall. Leash skills are still a work in progress, but she’s calm and not reactive. With other dogs, she’s polite and indifferent — happy to say hi, not interested in chaos.
Boom would thrive in a patient, calm home that understands trust is something you earn. She doesn’t need saving — she needs someone lucky enough to be chosen by her. And once she does? That’s a win worth celebrating.
