Beanie

Meet Beanie! Beanie is about 3 years old, 50ish pounds, Cattle Dog mix and the sweetest cuddle bug! She loves hiking, camping, and being out in nature as well as being by your side and lounging on the couch. Beanie is really well trained and aims to please - she always comes when called, knows all her basic manners and is house trained. She does great with kids and at the dog park, but does not like cats or skateboards. Beanie is gentle, shy, extremely submissive and has some anxiety in new situations. She would do best as the only dog in a home or in a home with a really chill male dog. Beanie was originally adopted in Southern, CA after being found living on the streets as a puppy. Sadly, Beanie’s parents have another dog who has gotten aggressive with Beanie and they need to find her a new safe place to land. She is up to date on all vaccines and spayed.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: I am looking for someone who will dedicate time to spend with Beanie, give her the exercise she needs and understands how to make an shy dog feel safe.
