He also loves to run around and play with other dogs Leash trained? yes Fence Required? Advised Beau was found alone in a secluded area on the outskirts of town, likely dumped and left behind. Even after that, he is nothing but kind, affectionate, and easy but cautious when connecting with people. He adjusted quickly in his foster home and does great with the other dogs after a slow introduction. He already knows basic commands like “sit and come”, and is working on his ‘wait and come’ now which tells us he may have once had a home. This boy is completely house, crate, and leash trained. This puppy acts like a much older dog. He was not bothered by a thunder and lighting storm or by the people coming in and out or the noise during our construction. Beau is playful and full of life and puppy energy. Every time we walk him he seems to learn something new. Things like what a mailbox and fire hydrant are or planes, helicopters and birds are in the sky. He mostly loves tough toys, running around, and being close to his people (on your lap if possible). He is the kind of dog that wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing, whether that’s playing outside or just hanging out. At 40+ pounds and full of puppy energy he operates at 100% until you make him take a nap. He would thrive in a home that can keep up with his energy and give him the activity he enjoys like discovering the whole new world. Did I mention ice cubes yet, I am sure a pup cup would be a great joy but, ices cubes zooming around on a smooth floor are his zen. Having another dog to play with would be a big bonus for him, as he loves having a buddy (human or otherwise). Beau is loyal, smart, and ready for a fresh start with a family that will love him furever.
