Boone is a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever in Raleigh, NC, who needs $3,000 for a bone marrow transplant.

Boone is a rescue from Harnett County, NC. He was living alone on a small farm when he was obtained by a nearby rescue agency, Underdog Ranch. Boone came into my life as part of a long sequence of somewhat unusual circumstances. As a result of a change in my domestic status, my (other) dog, Little (also a rescue from Underdog Ranch), had to spend a few months back on the farm while I relocated. When I finished my relocation and went back to get Little, I asked if Little had made a friend who might be a good fit for joining us. That's how Little and I met and adopted Boone (then Moose; I spend about 25% of my time in Boone, NC, so Moose was re-christened). He has been our hiking/playing/sleeping partner ever since.
