Beowulf's Story

Meet Beowulf!<br/><br/>Beowulf came into our care from a local animal control case in February of this year. Prior to coming here Beo was isolated in a small space outdoors. He did not have adequate social opportunities with safe people or other animals. Initially he was quite hesitant and wary of our intentions, but over time he has blossomed. <br/><br/>Beo now has a small circle of trusted human friends, and is meeting new people regularly. He loves to play with his special dino toy, which will accompany him on his next adventure. Beowulf exhibited some serious reactive behaviors toward new dogs when we met him, however our behavior team has been diligent in working with him on those big feelings. Beo has a few dogs friends, and is actually quite playful when given proper introduction. <br/><br/>While Beowulf will always have some quirks left over from his past trauma, we know that he is more than ready to find a family and live the rest of his life to the fullest. <br/><br/> Sensitive, observant, and thoughtful <br/> Playful and engaged once comfortable <br/> Thrives with structure, routine, and positive reinforcement training<br/> Deeply loyal companion with the right support<br/><br/>Dogs: Beowulf would be happy as an only dog, but could potentially enjoy a canine companion. Multiple dog meets will be required for anyone interested in building a multi-dog home.<br/><br/>Cats: Beowulf may thrive in a home without cats.<br/><br/>Children: Beowulf is not comfortable with children, and would prefer to have none in his home or direct social circle.<br/><br/>Additional Considerations: Beowulf comes with post adoption support from our behavior team!<br/><br/>Ready to adopt your new best friend?<br/>Submit an adoption application today! You'll receive an email with all the next steps. At HSCC, dog adoptions are by appointment, and we'll schedule your counseling session promptly to help you find the pawfect canine companion!<br/><br/>We are also looking for foster placement while awaiting adoption. Please visit https://www.hsccvt.org/Foster to learn about fostering for HSCC if you are not already signed up to foster with us!<br/><br/>*As a Pronature Pal, Beowulf's adoption fee is $0 and comes with a $50 gift card to Pet Food Warehouse and a 6-month supply of free food from Pronature Canada!*
