The center says Beau was likely living outside for an unknown amount of time. He was malnourished and was not cared for.

Officer Riggle named our survivor Beau. The arrow has been removed, and he's doing as well as can be expected thanks to some amazing lifesavers. Thank you for the kindness and support!
