Fee Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Beau is a very handsome 13 year old brindle Labrador x Staffie. Beau came into our care due to a change of circumstances in his previous home and he is now in an Oldies Club foster home in Wigan, Lancashire, waiting for someone to offer him a permanent home. Beau has proved to be a perfectly behaved old gentleman who gets on well with people and dogs and is no trouble at all around the house. If you can't resist that gorgeous grey face, please read on… Quickly settled in: Beau settled into his foster home very quickly. He is fine when his foster carer leaves him with her other dogs, and in his previous home he was used to being left alone for a few hours. Great with dogs: Beau is very friendly and placid and is getting on well with his foster carer's 5 dogs. Even at feeding time, he is no trouble at all with the others. His foster carer hasn't yet cat-tested Beau, but his previous owner told us that he doesn't like cats. Could live with children: Beau hasn't met any children in his foster home but his previous owner told us he is great with children. He has such a lovely nature that we have no reason to doubt that he would be fine with children who are respectful to dogs. Out and about: Beau walks nicely on the lead. He is rather deaf but he responds well to hand signals. He does not seem to be at all interested in toys. In the car, he is very good and sits calmly where you put him. He likes to sniff the fresh air, and for the first 10 minutes of travel he sings some beautiful songs before going to sleep Beau's favourite pastimes: Eating; Ambling around the garden; Sleeping (particularly outside the door in the sunshine). He shows no inclination to wander and just trundles in and out to check where you are, bless him. Beau's perfect home: He's so well behaved that he should fit in to almost any home. Health notes: Beau is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. He has been vet-checked and is having drops for an ear infection. It is clearing up nicely, but his previous owner mentioned that he does get an ear infection from time to time. Keeping his ears nice and clean could help to prevent this recurring. He has also had his anal glands emptied and the hair on his tail which was sparse in places should hopefully regrow. His foster carer mentioned: He also had the vet's waiting room in stitches as he performed his version of O Solo Mio to the assembled audience. He is turning out to be quite a character! Foster carer's summing up of Beau: Perfect; Gentle; Kind; Loveable. He is a lovely placid, gentle dog with not a bad bone in his body. He walked straight into 5 assorted dogs, 3 hens, 7 birds, cows and sheep in the next field, without any fuss and settled in. He greets visitors without jumping up and happily allows their dogs to come in. At night he settles down in his bed and usually has to be woken in the morning. If I didn't already have my other dogs I would be more than happy to keep him as he is absolutely no trouble. Doesn't Beau look and sound a dream… Have you fallen for his brindle charms? ————- If you can offer Beau a permanent home, please refer to our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process.
