Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Beau is a handsome, four-year-old, 18-pound, male, black and white Shih Tzu looking for a patient dog-loving guardian.
Beau enjoys the company of other dogs; I’m not sure if he’s ever met a cat.
He’s a nice dog for the right person, but he is more for the experienced dog-lover who has no children in their home. He has been known to bite when fearful.
Beau was relinquished to Chicago Animal Care and Control for snapping at family members who were visiting their grandma. He was well-behaved for the groomer when trimming hair away from his eyes, so he is accustomed to being handled, but he is definitely best with a patient dog-lover willing to work with him.
Beau is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested.
To meet and possibly adopt Beau, please fill in the online adoption application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305.
Beau is at the Famous Fido Rescue, 3124 W. Irving Park Road at Troy Street in Chicago, Illinois 60618. Please call or e-mail for an appointment to meet him and all the other wonderful cats and dogs. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
