Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Boone is a lovable, four-year-old pit mix with a big heart and an even bigger smile. He’s happiest when he’s outside, whether it’s going on walks, basking in the sun, or just trotting along by your side. This charming boy would love to add some adventure in your life.

While he thrives on human companionship and will quickly become your best buddy, Boone prefers to be the only pet in the home—he wants all the love and attention to himself!

If you’re looking for a loyal walking partner and a fun-loving friend to share life’s adventures with, Boone might just be your perfect match. Come meet him at the Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We’re open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
