Beau's Story

Beau is a handsome 3-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd who arrived to Dogworks on 11/20/2025. Weighing in at around 17 pounds, this sweet boy has an average-maintenance coat and a heart full of love to give. He has already been neutered and is ready for his forever family.<br/><br/>Beau came into the rescue after his services were no longer needed at the puppy mill he came from. Now in a safe and loving foster home, he is flourishing and discovering what it truly means to be cared for.<br/><br/>He can be a little timid at first, but once he feels comfortable, his gentle personality shines. Beau is incredibly loyal and absolutely adores people—hugs, pets, and belly rubs are his absolute favorite.<br/><br/>This smart boy is working hard on his potty training and loves going outside to practice. He also enjoys running in the yard and is proudly learning how to shake paws. A fenced yard is a must for Beau; he does great with his current 5-foot fence and loves having room to stretch his legs.<br/><br/>Beau gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be happy with a canine friend, though he’d also thrive soaking up attention as the only dog. He can be nervous with new noises, isn’t crazy about car rides yet, and is still learning proper leash manners. When something scares him, he tends to cower, so a patient, gentle family will help him continue to build confidence.<br/><br/>Beau’s ideal home is one where he’ll receive lots of love, reassurance, and attention. In return, he’ll be the most devoted companion you could ever ask for.<br/><br/>He adores children!<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate boy with a heart of gold, Beau may be the perfect match.<br/><br/>He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>His fee is $350<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for his adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
