The dog days of summer are here, and one Austin pup is ready to make your weekend a whole lot goofier.
Beef, a 7-month-old mixed-breed dog at the Austin Humane Society, is looking for his fur-ever family. He weighs 45 pounds and is described as “pure and goofy sweetness.”
Beef and his brother, Oscar, were rescued together after they were found as strays. Now, Beef is settling into shelter life and showing off a friendly side. He gets along well with other dogs and loves a good playdate.
While he was initially a little shy, Beef has become more comfortable and is described as a very sweet, affectionate pup. He appears to be housetrained already and is playful and happy in his kennel.
Beef is already neutered and is eligible for a seven-day foster-to-adopt trial, giving potential adopters a chance to bring him home and see how he fits into their routine before making it official!
