Beaux

Beaux started out at the shelter an extremely timid dog that wouldn't even allow people to touch him. Since then, he's come leaps and bounds! Here's an update from his foster mom:<br/><br/>Beaux has definitely discovered his love of all things soft and cozy! He's doing great in the house and hasn't had a single accident. He hasn't been destructive or chewed things up, although he's still learning that not everything he finds belongs to him-socks and T-shirts are apparently fair game for playtime! <br/>He's learning to go into his kennel when asked and is making progress with "leave it." When I leave the house, Beaux stays in his kennel and seems to do well. I haven't seen signs of him being destructive while kenneled.<br/><br/>He can still be hesitant about affection initially and sometimes needs a little encouragement, but once he's comfortable, he LOVES pets-and has become pretty demanding about getting them!<br/>His goofy side is really starting to come out, too. When I get home from work and he gets outside in the yard, he bounces around and gets incredibly playful. It's been really fun watching more and more of his personality come out.<br/><br/> Beaux seems to gain confidence from having other dogs around and appears to open up more with them. He's still learning how to navigate dog interactions, especially when play gets loud or exciting. That can overwhelm him and cause him to jump in and get a little snippy. He would do best with an understanding dog companion and people willing to help him continue learning appropriate interactions.<br/><br/> One thing Beaux has not discovered a love for yet is the car. Car rides are still a pretty big hurdle for him, and he'll need someone patient and willing to help him work through that at his own pace.<br/>Beaux has come a long way already. Underneath that initially unsure pup is a goofy, affectionate little guy who is learning more every day that being a dog can actually be pretty fun. <br/><br/> http://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-548
