Meet Beast 🤎
 
At 23 pounds and 3 years old, Beast may have a big name, but he's really just a little guy looking for someone to love him.
Beast came to NTASR as an owner surrender from Oklahoma along with Belle and Anakin. He had been living outside and came to us with flea dermatitis and ongoing back issues. He's spent much of his time in foster care on crate rest while his back gets the time and rest it needs.
 
Beast has been a total champ about it.
 
He's been incredibly patient and well behaved during his crate rest, but don't let all that good behavior fool you. This guy has opinions.
 
He does not appreciate sprinklers.
He does not appreciate vacuums.
He does not appreciate loud noises in general. 
The house is still a new and scary place. 
 
What he does appreciate?
Cuddles. Scratchies. Being loved.
 
And apparently, your undivided attention.
Because if you're petting Beast while holding your phone, he will absolutely make sure you understand that the phone needs to go away. 😂
 
Beast does well with other dogs as long as they respect his boundaries. He's perfectly happy to coexist and hang out, but if another dog decides to come in with a little too much attitude, Beast is happy to remind them that he is, in fact, a 23-pound man with standards.

He does well on a leash, is house trained, crate trained, and food motivated!
 
For now, his activity will need to be managed according to his medical needs, but what Beast really wants is pretty simple: a soft place to land, a person who will give him all the scratches, and a home where he can finally feel safe and loved.
He's spent enough time outside.
 
Now he's ready for the good life. 🤎🐾
