Meet Beau! 🐾 This handsome 95-pound gentle giant may appear tough, but beneath that magnificent, fluffy exterior lies a sensitive soul just waiting to trust again. 😌 Adopted as a puppy, Beau unfortunately found himself returned several years later, and while we don’t know the details, it’s clear that he’s been through a lot. Thankfully, the amazing humans at his rescue have provided him with the time, patience, and training he desperately needed, and oh, how far he’s come! Beau is an enthusiastic and intelligent boy who adores playtime, and fetch is his absolute favorite game—bonus points if a tennis ball is involved! 🎾 He even brings it back! When he’s not playing fetch, this adventurous pup loves going on nature walks, engaging in a good tug-of-war, and eagerly learning new cues. Currently, he’s mastering his ‘Sit,’ ‘Down,’ and ‘Come’ commands, and he’s a pro at walking on a leash—like a champ! 🏃‍♂️ Treats are his greatest motivators, making training sessions both rewarding and fun! Now, Beau is looking for his ideal home—one that’s peaceful and adult-only, where he can take his time to feel safe and secure. For Beau, trust is built slowly and gently, preferably while playing fetch! He’s not a fan of being touched right away, but if you’re lucky enough to offer a well-timed butt scratch, you just might win him over! 🥰 One important thing to remember: Beau is a little possessive of his things—especially the furniture! If you invite him onto beds or couches, he may claim them as his own, so it’s best to establish some boundaries early on. 🛋️ Beau will need to meet with potential adopters multiple times to develop that bond, and he’ll be an utterly loyal and loving companion once he knows he can trust you. If you're patient, dog-savvy, and ready for a special and rewarding connection, Beau could be just the perfect match you’ve been looking for! 💖 With an adoption fee of just $50, Beau comes with all his up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, heartworm and flea prevention, and a microchip already registered to you—what a deal! So, if you want to know Beau and let that gentle heart in, please apply through the Buddy App! This incredibly special pup is ready to find his forever person—could it be you? 🐶✨
