Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Beau and his brother are like many black mixed breed dogs in the south, an unplanned litter to an unaltered female. They were left with their mother until they began to get big and eat a lot. At that point, someone threw them in the back of their truck and drove to a secluded area and put them out to fend for themselves. As luck would have it, they were dumped close to an elderly couple’s home whose philosophy is; if you don't feed them, they will go away. Well, they didn't go away. They stayed where they were abandoned and hunted and scrounged for food for a couple of months. At some point, a nice couple in the area noticed them while on their nightly walks. After talking to people in the area, they learned the dogs had been abandoned. These 2 were certainly not the first ones to be dumped there, however something about them tugged at this couples heart. Even though Beau and Sam were starving and had no human contact for months, they were friendly, playful and just wanted to be with somebody. So they went home with their heroes, who now have asked us for help finding them a family. Beau looks to be about 8-10 months old and weighs about 70 lbs., making him a large dog when fully grown. Beau has a wonderful, friendly temperament. He is a little shyer than his brother at first but that doesn’t last long. He loves everyone, and although we are sure Beau will do well with kids, little ones should beware of his big wagging tail. Please consider Beau for your new family companion, he surely deserves it.
