Personality: Beau is a handsome, blonde old gentleman with that distinctive white face that comes with the age and experience of a mature Golden Retriever. Beau spent a good part of his life either in a crate or outside, so his new life at this foster home is quite a wonderful change. He’s free to roam inside without a crate to cramp his style. He’s still having a few accidents in the house, but after so many years of not knowing the wonders of indoor living, this is to be expected. And the good news is, he is learning the proper way and place to do his business.
Beau finds riding in the car a big adventure and is also very good on his leash when walking. He likes to swim, but needs a little assistance getting in and out of the pool at his foster home. He has so many more good traits: he’ calm around children, doesn’t jump on people, takes his treats gently, and so far, does not seem to be bothered by thunderstorms.
Even though he’s an older dog, Beau loves to play, has a lot of energy and loves attention. In fact his fosters refer to him as a Velcro dog, following them around the house to be sure he knows where they are at every moment. In fact, he prefers human company when he goes outside to do “his thing.”
Ideal Home: Beau needs to have a forever family that is willing to provide him with a lot of attention and continue with his house training. He does well with a walk every day and in this hot weather, would really love access to water in which to cool off. His forever family must be one who likes to give attention as well as get it, as Beau LOVES to be around people.
