My name is SHELTER BOUND!

FOSTER NEEDED ASAP! Beau is a sweet, shy dog who was abandoned by his former owner. Someone placed his bed and an empty bowl under some bushes and left him all alone. Beau had been living there for several weeks, patiently waiting for his owner. A good Samaritan found Beau and is temporarily keeping him safe. She can only keep him another week. He is very sweet but shy. Beau isn't chipped, and after several weeks of searching, an owner could not be found. The good Samaritan asked every rescue in town if they could help Beau, but no one has foster space. We said we would help if a someone will foster Beau. He's well behaved but needs time to feel safe. Beau is a good natured, affectionate dog who loves to cuddle. He's about 55 lbs, so still a medium-sized dog. He seems to be about 2 yrs old and healthy. If we find a foster, we'll take him to our vet for a thorough exam. If you live in the Southern California area, please email contactus@dexterfoundation.com if you can help Beau. Please share his story. We only have a few days to find a foster or adopter.

Please help us find a loving home for this very special boy. He is a young male dog who needs a quiet, gentle, and calm home as he is a bit shy and scared. He warms up to people slowly, but once he does, he bonds very deeply and loves to cuddle and get kisses. He is a dignified boy who is a bit of a couch potato and enjoys lounging around most of the day. Beau is good with smaller dogs, or non-aggressive big dogs. If you have a quiet home with a fenced yard and lots of love to give, please open your heart and home to this sweet boy. He's had a tough start to life and desperately needs a safe and comforting place to call his forever home.
