Where did you get this dog?: CRAIGSLIST
How long have you owned this dog?: 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH (since he was 2 months old)
Why is the dog being given up?: He requires more attention than I can give him. Beau may do best as an only dog in the home as he can get jealous over resources around other dogs including love and attention, or with a submissive well-matched dog.
Is your dog housebroken?: Yes
What is the dog's favorite : HE LOVES ANYTHING WITH STUFFING SO HE CAN SHRED IT, BUT I GIVE HIM STUFFING FREE TOYS AND HE LOVES TO TAKE OUT THE SQUEAKER. ROPE TOYS AND TENNIS BALLS, ANTLERS AND RAWHIDES ARE HIS ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I ALSO GIVE HIM A KONG WITH TREATS IN IT. HE PLAYS FETCH FAIRLY WELL AND REALLY GETS WILD WHEN HE HAS THE ZOOMIES. HE WOULD PREFER TO PLAY WITH A DOG THAN A PERSON.

Is there anything else you can share that is special, unusual, or endearing about your dog that will help the new owners?: HE CAN BE A GOOF BALL! MOST THE TIME HE IS SELF ENTERTAINING WITH TOYS. HE IS INCREDIBLY SWEET WITH PEOPLE ONCE HE IS COMFORTABLE WITH THEM
A little about Beau: If he is not exercised enough or provided with toys and attention he will go into my kids room and take things off their beds/desk and shred them.
We have another dog in the home. Beau does very well at the dog park & ok on leash using gentle leader. He has shown jealousy to other animals over treats and attention.

HE EATS DINNER AROUND 5:30 AND BEDTIME IS AT 9.
Please provide a summary of the “ideal” home for your dog:: BEAU NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE HIM MORE ATTENTION AND TIME TO WORK WITH HIM ON COMMANDS AND KEEP HIS INTEREST PEAKED. HE NEEDS A YARD TO GET OUT HIS ENERGY OR SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE HIM TO THE PARK OR DOG PARK REGULARLY. HE WOULD BE OK WITH ANOTHER DOG IN THE HOME, BUT THEY NEED TO BE SUBMISSIVE.
