About Beau

Beau is a charming 4-year-old Poodle/Mini Australian Shepherd mix who weighs about 18 pounds. This sweet boy is fully house-trained and crate-trained, making him a wonderful companion for any family. He gets along well with dogs, particularly submissive ones, and he has lived harmoniously with cats as well. Beau enjoys the company of children, especially those who are gentle and dog-savvy. His energy level is low to medium, which makes him easygoing yet playful. Although he prefers a home where he can thrive as the confident dog, he generally does well with others who won’t push him around. While a fenced yard is not necessary, Beau would love the opportunity to explore safely outdoors. He’s a big fan of adventures, whether that means going for walks, playing with toys, or simply lounging on the couch for a cuddle session. Currently, Beau is adjusting to the hustle and bustle of a more urban lifestyle after spending most of his life in the countryside. He’s made great strides in becoming comfortable with new sights and sounds, but he would flourish with a patient adopter to help him build confidence in bustling environments. This loyal companion loves people and will eagerly accept affection once he’s introduced to someone new. Overall, Beau offers a delightful combination of affection and playfulness. He’s looking for a family that appreciates his loving nature and can offer him the training, love, and outdoor time he needs. Ready to make Beau a part of your family?
