Burlington County Animal Alliance's Adoptable Pet of the Week: Meet Beau!

Hi, I'm Beau, and I'm looking for my forever family.

I was picked up as a stray and spent months in a crowded shelter, scared and hiding in the back of my kennel. As an all-black dog, it was easy for me to go unnoticed. When my future looked uncertain, a volunteer spotted me and helped me get a second chance through BCAA and a wonderful rescue partner.

I'm about 1-2 years old, weigh a little over 55 pounds, and appear to be a Labrador Retriever mix. While I was shy at first, once I realized I was safe, my goofy, lovable Lab personality started to shine!

I'm currently participating in the New Leash on Life Prison Dog Program, where I'm learning important skills like walking nicely on a leash, sit, stay, and crate training. My trainers say I'm a smart boy who loves to learn and wants nothing more than to make people happy.

I get along well with other dogs and have shown respectful curiosity around cats. Most of all, I'm ready for a family to call my own.

Could you be the one to give me the happy ending I've been waiting for? ❤️

Some dismiss the endearing opossum as unattractive – or even a nuisance – but this quiet creature is actually one of our gentlest and most essential wild neighbors.
