Beckham

Hi, my name is Beckham, aka Beck! I'm a 4/5-year-old, 55 lb mixed breed boy with a beautiful, silky smooth coat. My foster mom says petting my soft coat is soothing—a win-win! I’m a perfect mix of couch potato and adventure buddy! I love lounging around, getting belly rubs, and snuggling, but I’m also always ready for an adventure. Walks, hikes, car rides—you name it, I'm in!

I’d be thrilled to join an active family with a fenced yard and a confident four-legged friend to play with and learn from. I'm a big fan of affection and do an adorable dance when I get butt scritches. Sometimes I get so excited that I do zoomies when my foster mom baby-talks me and rubs my butt.

I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. I'm a smart boy who knows my basic commands and loves training, especially when treats are involved! I'm neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all my vaccinations, and in excellent health.

I’m currently being fostered with a trainer who is excited to help my new family get me settled in.
