2.25.18 Beau is a 14 year old terrier type dog that ran a feral pack in a Virginia swamp area. He was eventually trapped and found his was into rescue. Hubbards Hounds is the second rescue he has been in.

Beau was a truly feral dog. He came heart worm positive, had several swamp based diseases, as well as old fractures of femur, pelvis, hip as well as being shot in the ankle. Needless to say he walks with a limp . He has been here for years. He allows pets, knows his routine. Is crate trained and potty trained. He uses the doggiedoor into a fenced yard.

He is space protective and can be dog aggressive. The others give him a wide berth as a rule. He does have one dog here that he will share a bed with.

He does not tolerate being leashed. We believe he may have been tied and abused at some point.

I have to carry him into the vet. He has been remarkably heathy once he overcame his initial issues. He does have a benign recal growth that is small that we are watching. Due to fear issues it would be hard for him to be left at the vets. It has not changed in 2 years.

Beau continues to look for his forever home. He requires a kind, gentle home with no kids and no other dogs if possible. Or one larger gentle dog would be ok. Fenced yard.He is an older , damaged fellow that just wants a kind retirement home. 
A sponsor would be great till one is found?2.25.18

Update 2/19/2016: Beau is about 13 1/2 yrs old now. Beau is a sweet old man that prefers his own company to that of other animals. He is a space guarder. He was trapped running feral in a southern swamp and has many old physical injuries. Broken bones, even shot in the leg. He is terrified on leash and has to be carried if off the property and it is a challenge even going to the vets. Luckily he has been healthy in spite of his old injuries. He was treated for heartworm and other swamp illnesses but has not had any issues since the initial treatment. He does enjoy his person and the fenced yard. He likes to sunbathe on the deck in pleasant weather. He is potty trained as well. He needs a home with quiet , patient people and a fenced yard. No children and preferably no other pets. he deserves to be the star attraction!!


Original Listing: Beau is approx 10 years old. He is about 35 pounds and is a Terrier mix. He was found running as a feral dog in the swamps of Virginia where he was trapped and turned over to rescue.He had a broken back, pelvic and hip that healed but not in great alignment. He was shot in the ankle at some point and has bullet fragments in his lower leg. His leg works but he does limp and it has the shape of a spatula. He was HW positive and had other swamp issues upon rescue. He is now HW negative and actually is fairly healthy at this point. He has the skeletal issues and his fractures are to old and numerous to fix per his Vet.

His biggest issues are emotional. While he is friendly to me, potty trained, uses a doggie door and knows the routine, he is still unable to be walked on a leash. He goes ballistic...he has to be carried to the Vet appointments and he thrashes the whole time. He needs a securely fenced yard due to his fear issues and he needs an adult home that is quiet with a nice routine. He can be bed territorial with other other animals.
