About Beau

Beau is a happy, bouncy Pug/Chihuahua mix with a lot of puppy energy and a heart that lights up any room. He loves to play, craves attention, and thrives on interaction with people. Beau’s enthusiasm and cheerful personality make him a natural companion for someone seeking a little spark in their day-to-day life. Like most puppies, he’s learning the world as he goes, so he’ll need a household with patience, structure, and a clear commitment to training—both for Beau’s benefit and to strengthen the bond you’ll share together. He comes fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated for his age, and microchipped. Additional vaccines will be your responsibility. Little dogs like Beau can be by your side for decades, so he’s searching for a family that’s in it for the long haul. Puppies require someone with a flexible schedule or the ability to be home throughout the day. If your lifestyle or work commitments don’t make that possible, adopting a puppy might not be the right fit. Beau is available in the Chicago metro area and home visits are required. Give this playful pup the family he deserves. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
