LEGS FOR DAYS. EARS FOR APPLAUSE. A HEART THAT’S ALL YOURS. Beanie Baby looks a little like someone took the sweetest puppy imaginable, added extra legs, and topped him off with ears that deserve their own fan club. They bounce when he walks, flop when he plays, and generally seem to be doing their own thing while the rest of him figures out where he’s going. And underneath all that cuteness? A gentle, snuggly boy who is equal parts sweetheart and little goofball. Beanie has the kind of personality that makes you say, “Oh, I LOVE him,” about five minutes into knowing him. Fair warning, it might happen sooner. Watch his video and fall in love with his personality: Bean is approximately 8 months old and currently weighs 44 pounds. Our best guess is a Lab/Great Dane mix, but with animal rescue, it’s always a mystery! Whatever went into making this boy, they were very generous with the legs, ears, and sweetness. Beanie is being fostered in a home with teenagers, and the love is very much mutual. He loves his people, loves affection, and is more than happy to make snuggling part of the daily schedule. We can absolutely picture this sweet boy growing up alongside a family with kids. Have younger kiddos and wonder whether he could be their new best friend? Let us know! We can arrange for him to meet some younger children to help see whether he’s a great match for your family. Bean is also dog friendly and has met dogs of all different sizes and personalities. He shares his foster home with other dogs and would make a lovely addition to a home with canine company. He may need a moment to get comfortable with a new dog, but it doesn’t take long before his sweet, social side comes out. His playstyle is generally gentle, although he’s happy to join a little wrestling match when another dog invites him. He’s got enough goofy puppy in him to be a fun playmate and a softness about him that makes him so easy to love. As for cats, Bean has a little more of a “but what if we played?” approach. He lives with a cat in his foster home and will sometimes give chase in an attempt to play, but he backs off when the cat swats him. When he met Biggie, our house cat, he gave him a sniff and then went on his way. A home with a confident, dog savvy cat may be a possibility, with thoughtful introductions and guidance as Bean learns that not every roommate wants to join his games. Toys are another very important part of Beanie’s world. He loves playing with them and carrying them around, because apparently being adorable is a full time job that requires accessories. Treats are also enthusiastically accepted, especially cheese. If you happen to open the cheese drawer, please know that Bean is available for any quality control needs. He already knows how to sit and walks well on a leash, so he’s ready to show off a few good boy skills along the way. Bean has great house manners for a youngster! He is crate trained and quiet in his crate, and his foster says he hardly ever has an accident in the house. He’s still a growing puppy who benefits from routine and consistency, but he has a wonderful foundation for his future family to build on. With his medium energy and ability to settle down for a nap, Bean has potential to do well in an apartment or a home with a backyard. Neighborhood walks, little adventures, some toy time, and a cozy place to recharge sound pretty perfect to him. He enjoys having fun, but he also knows there comes a time to clock out of puppy business and get some beauty sleep. Beanie doesn’t need a big, extravagant life. He just wants people to love, a few toys to carry, and a family who thinks his floppy ears are every bit as wonderful as we do. If your home could use a little more sweetness, a little more silliness, and a whole lot of Bean, this boy is ready to flop his way right into your heart.
