Beau is now available for adoption @CA_AnimalAid! This male Foxhound is 1yr 8mths old. Learn more

  • Breed: Foxhound, American / Mix
  • Age: 1y 8m Gender: Male
  • Color: Black / White
  • Spayed/Neutered: Yes
  • Size: Medium

Beau is a local surrender looking for his perfect match. He is a loving pup who enjoys being with his people and also loves all the other dogs he meets. He does have his reservations when it comes to strangers though. He can be reactive towards people he doesn’t know so his new owners will need to continue working on this with him. Because he loves other dogs so much and doesn’t love being left alone, he is looking for a home with another dog to keep him company. He would also like a home with no kids, please. He has been working with a trainer, so a session with her is included with his adoption. He’s a handsome guy, with very cute markings, and he’s just the perfect size to become you and your canine friend’s new bud!

visit the following section of our website if you are interested in adopting:
