About Beans

Beans is a 6-year-old pittie mix with a reputation for being one of the gentlest, most affectionate dogs around.

Beans wears her heart on her sleeve, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and a little grin, always ready to lean in for pets. She’s most content when she’s close to her people, soaking up all the attention she can get. This medium-energy girl is just as happy going for a walk as she is cuddling up on the couch for a nap. She’s fully housebroken and crate trained, with volunteers describing her as snuggly, easy, and endlessly friendly. Beans doesn’t jump and has good manners at home. When meeting other dogs, she gets excited and might bark, but she typically just wants to play and has had positive interactions with others—she could likely share a home with another dog with proper introductions. She gets along well with children, making her a good fit for families. No matter what she’s been through, Beans greets each day with a soft, wiggly presence and a huge heart, ready to welcome her next best friend. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
