About Beast:
Hi! My name is Beast! I'm a friendly guy who just wants to snuggle and be nice. My old human left me alone at a shelter because they couldn't take care of me anymore, so I got sent to Twin Cities Pet Rescue so they could find me a new home. I'm 4-5 years old, about 100 pounds, and am starting to get a bit of a gray beard, so I look very distinguished!
I like being spoiled. I also like being in the same room with you as much as possible. I like to snuggle on the couch and want to sleep with you in your bed. I'm a big guy, and very strong - I can easily force my way out of a normal dog kennel, and can break most baby gates and safety latches designed for smaller dogs or humans without even thinking about it. Bottom line I don't like to be confined, but I'm well behaved in a home.
I'm smart, housebroken, and pretty well trained. I know my name, and words like sit, shake, outside, potty, and others. I like to lick people when I meet them, and please be prepared because I'm a drooler! I prefer to lie down when I eat, and I don't have any special dietary needs, but sometimes I drink my water too fast and it comes back up, so I need some help with that.
My foster dad also has another dog. He's kind of a jerk. We are mostly ok together but if he gets too anxious, foster dad has to take him away to "quiet time" so he doesn't go after me. When he's not anxious, we like to play outside and snuggle with foster dad. I'm good with other dogs, but sometimes due to my size they do not like me or are afraid of me.
Because of my breed, I require slightly different maintenance than some other dogs. I have bristly, oily fur that needs to be washed more often so it doesn't smell. I also have folds of skin around my neck that need to be cleaned and dried occasionally, or I might get a skin infection.
If you're interested in adopting a dog like me, I'd love to meet you!
Beast is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.
