About Boone (Labrador retriever) in Williamsburg

Boone is waiting for you at Safe Haven of Iowa County in Williamsburg, IA 52361. Meet Boone, the distinguished gentleman who is ready to trade in his travel miles for a permanent spot on your rug. Boone recently joined us as a transfer from the Cedar Rapids shelter; they have been bursting at the seams with many great, adoptable pets - so when they reached out looking for help with placements, we knew we would be more than happy to give this sweet boy the change of scenery he deserved.
