Beau

My story

Beau is a very sweet pup. We rescued him 9 yrs ago. He loves to lounge on a lap while inside but can also spring into energy when playing at the park with other pups. We’ve never had any issues until we welcomed our daughter into the world 2 yrs ago. He tends to be intimated by her as a toddler, and can get territorial in his bed. We recently had an unfortunate experience where he did swipe at her with his paw, leaving some scratches. In a way it was understandable, because despite his growl to warn her, she continued to bother him / jump on him. I don’t forsee he would have any other behavioral issues and as much as we love him — I can’t continue to take the risk. He has NEVER done this with adults or other children - we were very surprised by it. I hope he can go to a loving and safe home because he does deserve it and is the an amazing dog.
