A HOMELESS hound who refuses to go out in the rain unless his carers provide an umbrella is appealing for a loving new home.
The unlucky hound, a nine year old crossbreed called Beau, is wondering why it always rains on him after being dubbed the unluckiest dog at Dogs Trust Merseyside because he has been overlooked by so many potential owners.
Beau has been at the rehoming centre for more than 35 years in dog years which means he has been overlooked by over 5,000 people and seen over 4,000 of his furry counterparts find their own happy homes.
Beau has been at the rehoming centre since early 2010, back when David Cameron was leader of the opposition, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were not even engaged and One Direction were yet to even meet.
However despite being constantly overlooked in his search for a happy home, he is one of the happiest dogs staff have ever come across – that is until it starts to rain.
Most of us may be annoyed by a wet Bank Holiday but the pampered pooch doesn’t even like getting his feet wet so prefers not to walk on wet grass.
He also likes to wear a waterproof coat and is very reluctant to set foot in the rain unless his carers go the extra mile for his comfort by carrying an umbrella to shelter him from the rain.
Dogs Trust Merseyside spokesperson Aimee Best said: “Beau’s aversion to wet weather is particularly noticeable as he is such an energetic, happy dog and is always delighted to see his carers, running over to greet us and wagging his tail – but as soon as it starts to look like rain he prefers to get in his bed and wait for it to pass.”
Beau would prefer to be the only dog in an active adult home. He would love nothing better than walks in the sunshine with a new best friend and to watch the rain pelt against the window while curled up in a cosy home with a loving new family of his own.

Aww bless him he looks and sounds lovely. 5 years is such a very long time for this lovely little chap to have been in a dogs home and so sad that he is being overlooked. I hope he finds a new loving forever home very soon. If I didn’t already have a dog who is a bit nervous and also requires a lot of time due to a medical condition I’d give him a home as I don’t really like going out for walks in the rain either so now exactly where he is coming from…..
