About Beauty

Meet Beauty! She’s about 11 months old and carries a mix of breeds—her DNA points to pit bull, husky, cattle dog, and golden retriever ancestry, with a dash of everything else. Beauty weighs around 30 pounds now and should top out at approximately 35 pounds. She sports a short apricot coat and is fully house trained, comfortable on leash, and settles in a crate with no fuss. Beauty has a sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. She’s eager to please, loyal, and enjoys being around people—she gets along well with men, women, and kids. With other dogs and cats, she generally does fine, though she’s not a match for homes with small animals like chickens. Her return to rescue came after difficulties with a specific dog, but she’s thrived with various dogs in her foster environment. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Beauty is looking for the right home to match her bright, friendly energy. Ready to meet your new best friend?
