Beau 12-352 [1]

Beau and his sister 12-353 Molly arrived this weekend from southern Iowa, and were surrendered by a loving loving family that moved to place that didn't allow dogs. Beau must have lived a wonderful life because he is a happy, well adjusted, playful, typical golden boy. He is 8 years old, neutered, really beautiful and has a very dense and blond coat. We are going to the vet this weekend for a check-up and to be microchipped, but he seems to be in great health with the exception of being about 10 lbs overweight. That's easy to fix! We started a diet and daily walks. He really pulls on a leash, so we are learning to walk with a gentle leader.

Beau is such a gentlemen, is potty trained, has free roam of the house when I am gone, wonderful with dogs and love kids. I try to keep my kids away from new dogs for a few days to give them time to chill, but Beau has other plans! He wants love and to play! He gets along with my resident Mia very well, loves to play tug with toys and they chase each other around the yard. He romps around and play bows and looks like a big puppy in the yard. Beau sleeps in my room at night, and is a perfect, playful addition to the pack. Neither Beau nor Molly really bark, which would be a great thing to teach Mia!

Beau and Molly have lived together their entire life, but again he is very well adjusted and they are not dependent on each other. Molly likes to be in charge of the toys, and I think Beau kind of digs having 1:1 time with Mia who plays a little nicer. :)

I'll write more once I get to know him a bit better, but if you are interested in learning more about Beau, please contact your placement advisor.
