We present HST observations of the interstellar medium toward the star β CMa known to be located in a low density extension of the Local Bubble. Most of the matter in the sight-line is ionized and clumped in two main components. One of them, as well as one of the components detected toward ϵ CMa, is mostly ionized and only slightly depleted. Their ionization ratios are compatible with collisional ionization at T~25 000 K. These clouds could have been ionized by shocks related to the Local Bubble creation and also responsible of some dust grain sputtering.
