Beau is very handsome mixed breed, possibly with some kind of 'hound' in him. He weighs in at 59lbs, is around 10-11 years old, and in good health other than a urinary tract infection and kennel cough, both of which he is on antibiotics for. He did have a few accidents in the house so he is not fully house trained. He is pretty good at letting us know when he has to go outside by coming up to us or in the bedroom in the middle of the night, so we need to be vigilant. Beau is being fostered in S. Minneapolis. We have had him for about 1 1/2 weeks now and he is such a pleasure to have around. He is a very relaxed dog, i.e. sleeps a lot, and gets a long great with our resident dog.
Beau was found as a stray in Iowa, taken in by a shelter there. A Good Samaritan picked up Beau when she realized his days were numbered and contacted RAGOM. Until RAGOM could get Beau a permanant foster home, he stayed with the GS on her farm and lived in the barn. There were a lot of other animals around that he had no problem with, therefore I suspect he is fine with cats. I haven't had him around children yet but can say he is very gentle.
Beau is a great eater and doesn't have any resource guarding of his food. He doesn't know any commands at this time but he is an eager learner. Beau loves his walks on the leash each evening. We only go about 5 blocks because of his kennel cough but will increase this as he feels better (and it's been so hot out so we are taking it easy).
Beau would make a wonderful addition to a home that is quieter and more relaxed, even a good friend for an elderly couple. He is super sweet and easy to have around.
