Beacon is an extremely friendly black lab mix who’s full of energy and popular with dogs, children and adults. Beacon plays well, is gentle and patient with young children. Beacon has enjoyed visiting various dog parks in his travels around the country and seamlessly finds a footing into new social circles.
Are you looking for a couch partner? Beacon loves to cuddle up to your company and keep you warm with his charming personality while you work or relax. Beacon is a food connoisseur, so, if you’ve got bones, treats or a tasty snack you want to share, then you’ve unlocked the key to his big heart.
Speaking of Beacon’s appetite, his appetite for outdoor activities is unmatched! Still, Beacon can often be found lounging around the porch or sunbathing to pass the time. When Beacon isn’t reapplying sun tan lotion, he enjoys roaming around the yard and living his best life in the great outdoors. While Beacon enjoys his freedom, he is well-behaved on leash and enjoys going on walks and hikes to meet new friends and stop for sniffs.
Are you trying to become popular in your community? Beacon wants to help! Beacon is a gregarious, natural explorer and first rate BFF who will happily accompany you to your favorite brewery, outdoor restaurant or national park as long as you share your snack and let passing strangers fawn all over him!

Known Health Issues: In recent years, Beacon has developed minor joint issues with his hinds legs and does require the occasional monitoring in order to not over exert himself when playing and having fun.

Why am I rehoming Beacon? My lifestyle and work-travel responsibilities have changed recently and after long deliberation, I have concluded I am no longer in a position to provide Beacon
with the appropriate time and attention that he deserves, which is why I hope rehoming this awesome pup will connect Beacon with a family who is looking for an active, kind-hearted, affectionate dog to dote on!
