Bea is a 7-8 year old mixed breed dog that is white with some brown spots. We rescued her from a shelter five years ago and she has lived at apartments and single family homes with fenced yards. She is very loving and sweet, is generally very lazy, and loves to cuddle. She sleeps 90% of the day and is an amazing low maintenance companion. She does not get along with small dogs or female dogs.

We feed her twice a day, let her out in the yard 4-5 times a day, and take her on 10-15 minute walks a couple of times a week. She would be fine with less exercise than this.
