Meet Miss Beulah !!

Beautiful Beulah wants to be by YOUR fire!!

SO???  Whaddya say?

Beulah is a beautiful, spunky, fawn, senior girl at 9 years young and 72 pounds. Before you fall in love with her please read her whole bio. Beulah was surrendered due to separation anxiety which is being managed in her foster home with inexpensive medication, a thunder shirt and a pheromone collar. Her new adopters should plan on continuing this long term anxiety medication for the rest of her life, as it improves her quality of life. She cannot be contained in a crate as she was never crate trained, so the crate is a place of fear and high anxiety. This can be worked through, however it could take some time. Beulah loves people and is good with visiting kids, but would prefer a quieter home with children 12 and over who know how to behave appropriately around large, older breeds. She would love owners that are around to spend time with her. She likes to go on walks and is learning her leash manners at her foster home, but would happier with a fenced-in yard, so she is required one (no e-fence). Beulah is house trained and knows sit, shake, lay and stay and will happily do them all, but prefers cuddling up on the couch with a human. She has done well with the resident male Doberman after a slow introduction. She is interested in the resident cat, and she would be okay in a home with a dog-savvy cat that doesn’t mind her curiosity or try to run away. She was said to live with a cat previously.

Beulah is a good girl and we are not requiring an obedience deposit, however it is always a good idea to do a refresher course to establish the bond, trust and expectations of her new forever home. In-home sessions might suit her well to help work on her mild separation anxiety issues and teach her appropriate coping skills. She is rightfully confused having lost her forever home, so we hope that she will settle in nicely once she finds her comfort zone. Beulah has nice, moderate energy since she is an older gal, and would be perfect for a laid back home that didn’t need a dog that required much fuss. Due to her separation anxiety, she would be best with someone that is not gone too long each day, has a dog walker in place, or someone who does not work or works from home. Beulah is a sweet senior that is looking for a second chance at her forever home.

Special Needs if any: Beulah is a girl with separation anxiety and would require an adopter who could continue the program her foster home is using.
