Owner Info: Beau is a very handsome little fellow who was one of eight Bichons saved by a rescue after his owner died. He's not able to stay in his current foster home and they are very much hoping for a place within BDRA for him! Beau is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is not housebroken, but he is leash trained, and he knows "sit!" Beau is good with both men and women, but a home without smaller children is recommended. He is good with both male and female dogs. Beau appears to be food possessive, and "has growled and gone after another dog in the foster home when the other dog went near his food... He has never bitten another dog nor person..He is now fed alone without any issues." Beau is overweight and is on a special food, and he's doing well! His current foster said he bonded very quickly, and they believe he will acclimate very well to a new home. They add that ​Beau is a sweet and gentle soul! ​ ​He will greet you at the door and follow close to you. He likes to be near his person and will sleep at your feet. At bedtime he likes to be close by your side and loves to be petted and spoken to!

Please do not let distance be a factor in deciding to foster. The rescue has offered to fly him to any BDRA foster home more than five hours away!
