Beau von Blaustein is a marvelous, 2 year-old red-coated boy—possibly a Ridgeback mix—with an inquisitive nature.  The word everyone uses to describe him is elegant, he is so regal, and the tallest dog we have at 29 inches. Beau was found living by a dumpster, near the home of one of our staff members. She took him home and just watching a video of him with her small dogs won our hearts. In playgroup with the big dogs he does well, but prefers little dogs. He is a social explorer who loves to take in the world with his nose to the sky, but he always makes time to lean in for pets and soak up every bit of affection he can get. He is a gentle soul who is learning his commands and is very polite when receiving treats. On his walks, he is an enthusiastic companion who has done great traveling alongside other dogs. While he is a tolerant and calm presence in playgroups, he prefers the company of other gentle, non-pushy dogs. This medium-energy, affectionate fellow even tested well with cats, making him a versatile and loving addition to a variety of homes. We took Beau to an animal shelter to make sure no one was looking for him, but when no one came, we happily got him back. Spread the word, we worry no one will be looking for a dog like Beau at a German Shepherd Rescue!

Rescued from the North Central animal shelter.
