About Beau

Beau is a mix of shy and silly, darting around with bursts of energy but happiest when curling up for a nap after making you laugh. He’s still working on his social skills, but you can tell he’s drawn to people—he just needs a little patience and a gentle hand. Underneath that playful surface is a loyal buddy who wants someone to believe in him. Born on February 27th, Beau’s a Pisces, which might explain those soulful eyes and his deep desire to bond. He and his litter were rescued before birth when their mom, a goofy and loving pit mix, was taken in from county animal control. Beau’s got hints of hound in his looks, with floppy ears and the sort of charisma that grabs attention. His puppy coat drew a lot of admirers early on, but now he’s ready to grow into the role of devoted companion. He doesn’t get along with cats but does well with both dogs and children. Beau arrives up to date on vaccinations and neutered. All puppies go home with a microchip, current dewormings, and transition food; a spay/neuter contract is also required by law.
