About Beau

Beau is a courtesy listing looking for his next great home in Yukon, OK. He’s a 40 lb hound mix—neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Beau's a sweet dog but needs to be the only pet: he isn’t good with cats and is picky about which dogs he likes, making him best suited to a single-animal home. He does get along well with kids and enjoys car rides. Beau is afraid of men and strangers at first, but with some patience and a slow introduction, he’ll come around and bond. He’s house and crate trained, though he needs a slow feeder bowl since he eats his meals too quickly. An active adopter with a yard and solid fencing is a must so he can enjoy daily activity and feel safe. Beau needs someone who includes him in their routine, not just leaves him in the yard. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
