About Beau

Beau was rescued as a puppy from a southern shelter. Fast forward eight months, he found himself needing a new home due to his family's busy lifestyle. They adored him but couldn’t provide the exercise he craved. Beau often tried to make his own fun by dashing out whenever a door opened. With young children, including an infant, his mom made the kind decision to find him a safer environment where he could thrive. Beau is neutered, up to date with vaccinations, and microchipped. He thrives in an active home and loves kids, having previously lived with them. While he has shown some nervousness around certain men, he warms up with a bit of time and treats. Beau is house trained and does well when left alone, though he prefers not to be crated. If you're interested in meeting Beau, please reach out to Pet Rescue of Mercer at PetRescueOfMercer@gmail.com or apply through their website. Applicants should reside within 60 minutes of Hamilton, NJ.
