Beau was rescued by Mrs. Stevenson’s niece, Mattie, from a drainage ditch in Houston. He was named Beau because his intelligence and pride was a thing of beauty.
Madlin Stevenson took him in and he lived with her for 10 years. Upon Mrs. Stevenson’s death Beau came with his many housemates to live at the center. Beau passed away in October 2001 at fifteen years of age. He lived a long life and his absence at the center is felt by all of us who have cared for him and loved him over the past year.
