Meet the marvelous Bean! 🌟 This stunning 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, with a heart of gold, is on the lookout for that special forever home where he can truly shine. Once upon a time, Bean had a family, but after finding himself surrendered last March, he's now ready to embrace a new chapter in life. While he may be blind due to untreated cataracts, don’t let that fool you—Bean navigates like a champ! 🐾 With the help of his foster mom and three small dog siblings, he's learned the ins and outs of his surroundings and is an absolute pro at getting around. Who said you need sight to enjoy life? 🚶‍♂️ With a heart full of love, Bean adores his afternoon strolls around the neighborhood, expertly maneuvering the sidewalks, though he’s still working on those curbs! He’s like a ninja—ready for anything, as long as you lend a gentle guiding hand.✨ However, when it comes to making furry friends on his walks, Bean prefers to take his time. He's not a fan of hasty introductions, needing patience to get comfortable with new dogs. With each encounter, he learns to trust and opens up to new pals. Now, let’s talk about the human side of things. Quick movements? No, thank you! Bean appreciates a gentle touch and a calm approach as he adjusts to new environments. Once trust is built, this sweet boy will be your loyal shadow; he loves lounging on your lap, keeping you company while watching TV, or sitting at your feet while you tackle those emails. And oh, the joy of waking up to morning belly rubs—it's all he dreams of! 💤💕 While Bean may enjoy the company of other dogs, his ideal home would be a peaceful haven without young children. He’s seeking a family that understands his special needs and can provide the love and patience he deserves. Bean is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccines, and genuinely ready to find a home where he can bloom. Regular exercise and affection will make him the happiest dog on Earth! If Bean’s adorable spirit speaks to you, remember that *the Buddy App is your go-to place to apply for adopting this sweet boy*. Meet him in person through a private meet and greet once your application is in, and get ready to start a new adventure together! 🌈
