Boomer is one lucky pitty mix. He has made the journey from street urchin to suburban pup, and he still can't believe someone would let him come inside their home.

His story begins like any other homeless dog - with an empty stomach and hungry nights spent on cold concrete, wondering what tomorrow might bring. But then, Boomer got luckier than most when an angel decided it was time for this little pitty to have some creature comforts.

Business as usual took an unexpected turn when Samantha Zimmer, a dog rescuer, got a text from a fellow K-9 enthusiast. This woman had come across some homeless dogs and took it upon herself to cater to them daily - but last month, with a snowstorm approaching, Mama Dog decided to call for help to keep all her babies safe and secure during the cold weather season.

In the wake of the impending snowstorm in Texas, Samantha decided to track down and shelter as many pups as possible. The search was tedious, but in the end, they were able to get their hands on three dogs, including Boomer.

She further revealed that it was necessary to trap him, albeit humanely, as he was anxious and refused to come close to them. In her words, "He had to be humanely trapped since he was too shy to approach us."

We finally caught him safely

It was evident that the streets weren't kind to this little pup. Upon examination by the vet, he tested positive for heart-worm disease, had severe wounds on one leg, and there were signs that he was previously shot.

Worst of all, it was heartbreaking to see the fear in Boomer's eyes, not knowing if it was okay to walk into Samantha's house.

Watch his reaction at the front door

According to Samantha, it was clear that Boomer had never been let into a house, but she could tell that he wanted it so bad. "We just carried him inside most of the time. It was clear that he had never been let inside the house, and he wanted to come in."

Over the past month, Samantha had been trying to wriggle her way into Boomer's heart. Each day, she made an effort to reassure him that he's safe and will always have a place to call home.

He finally walked in

Gradually, Boomer is starting to see that not only are there people in the world who want him, but these new friends will never leave his side. Now he gently walks in, looking to Samantha for approval.

He also loves to cuddle up on the sofa and enjoy some quality snuggles with his new friends.

All snuggled up

Samantha believes that Boomer is too sweet and loving for anyone to resist. She's optimistic that he can easily find a family of his own at the right time.
