Story
Beau is a handsome and complex soul with a heart full of love—he just needs the right person to help him feel safe. This sweet boy has two sides to his personality: at times, he’s affectionate, enjoys being petted, and loves nothing more than being close to his person. But other times, he gets overwhelmed and may nip, especially when startled or unsure. Sudden movements make him anxious, and he’s still learning how to trust again. Beau recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of his owner. He was found alone outside his former home, confused and grieving. Since then, he’s been working hard to adjust to a new world. He suffers from separation anxiety and doesn’t do well in a crate, preferring the company of someone he can rely on. He’s slowly beginning to show interest in toys—progress for a pup with a guarded heart—and he absolutely loves sticking his head out the window on car rides. Beau’s ideal home is one without kids and with someone patient, experienced, and home often. He needs a calm, stable environment where he can feel secure and loved. With the right person, Beau has the potential to blossom into a loyal and devoted companion. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2374849##
