My name is Beacon!

Beacon is a six year old Shih Tzu. He’s a sweet, calm little man who is looking for a loving home.
He has done really well since coming into foster care and has relaxed and is enjoying life. He is great about going potty outside on leash or roaming free in fenced yard. He is pretty quick about doing his business and isn’t bothered by a little rain. At night, he enjoys white noise (if there’s a lot of traffic sounds) but he sleeps really well all night in his space in the bathroom. During the day he comes out and hangs out with his foster mom and takes naps on the couch. He enjoys belly rubs and sitting by the fireplace.

He has been very comfortable around our indoor cats. He shows no aggression towards them or any other animals he’s encountered. He has found some cat toys he likes and picks them up and carries them around. He’s slowly learning to play.

He likes car rides and sits in his doggy car seat like a gentleman.
He has been so good with baths and his eye meds. A calm reassuring voice is all he needs to understand that you are helping him.

He is fairly comfortable around adults and teens and has shown no aggression at all. He’s getting more confident every day. He is a wonderful companion who enjoys sitting on the couch watching tv or walking around the block sniffing bushes and wagging his tail. Beacon is a good boy!
