BEAU's story

　　Hi, my name is Beau and right now I'm living in a foster home with a very nice man who takes good care of me and plays with me. I, however, am actively seeking my forever home. My original family had me since I was a puppy but when they could no longer take care of me they dropped me off at the shelter. It was in a small town without a lot of adoption opportunities, so there I sat for over a year. No, it wasn't a lot of fun but I'm grateful to be where I am. Now, if you wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to allow me to tell you about myself I would even be more thankful!

　　I am a three-year-old Staffordshire-Terrier/Boxer mix, have the cutest under-bite ever! People compliment me on my coat which is a shiny blue-gray color. I also have a bright white chest and white paws I am pretty proud of. People also tell me I'm smart but I think that's just because I'm a good listener and am well behaved. I know commands like "sit", "down", and can shake hands with both of my paws. Not at the same time of course! I'll respect your property and will take treats from your hand very gently. If you accidentally drop something on the floor I won't take it unless you give me the okay. I'm not a counter-surfer in the least. And I dont slobber or drool either!!!

　　I really want you to know that I love human contact

　　adults will be best, have not been around the youngsters. I like to have fun playing with everyone but can also play on my own. Just give me some balls or doggie toys to play with and away I go! I absolutely love belly-rubs and consider myself very affectionate. I am fun-loving and don't take myself too seriously. I would be thrilled to find a home with a grassy backyard to run and play in. An apartment probably won't work out. It would also be best if I was the only critter in the home. I'm not a barker but I will be sure to let you know if there's a stranger knocking at your door. I just completed my doggie training class and my teacher said I was an Ace student!

　　I've been getting very good health care and am in excellent condition. I have been fully vaccinated, had a complete dental cleaning, am neutered & micro-chipped, and have immaculate, sparkly white teeth. I have had full blood work done with no problems and am grateful for that too! I am about 60 lbs. and a happy fella. I would love to be a part of your home for years to come.

　　I am house-broken and am crate trained too! I enjoy carrying my toys around in my mouth and love playing in water. Water coming out of a garden hose? I'm in heaven. It might be fun for me to swim in a pool or a lake too! I will even behave well when taking a bath. I'll sit calmly in the car - love going for rides! I can be active when you want or am happy just to share the couch. When evening comes I will be happy to be your buddy in bed, sleeping quietly through the night.

　　I am thankful you took the time to read what I've had to say. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was bragging a bit, it's just pretty important to me I find the right home. I come with my cushy bed, sack of supreme dog food, bag of my favorite toys, full set of recent vetting records including my blood-work and vaccination records, collar, and durable leash. My adoption fee is just $125.

　　I'm hoping that if you have read this far, you could possibly be the one. Please come meet me and we could see where it goes from there. Thanks so much! Beau
