Bean is an 8-year-old dachshund mix weighing 12 lbs, with a gentle and sensitive nature. He's still learning how to feel comfortable socializing around humans and can be a bit shy at first. Bean does best with a slow, calm approach, allowing him to build trust at his own pace. He loves to rest and sleep, enjoying quiet moments where he feels safe and relaxed. Bean gets along well with other dogs, and they've been a big help in building his confidence and social skills. He would do best in a home with another confident dog to continue guiding and reassuring him. A securely fenced-in yard is also important so he can safely explore and gain confidence in his surroundings. With patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle encouragement, Bean will continue to grow more comfortable over time. He would benefit from training to help him learn how to walk on a leash and become more at ease with grooming routines. Bean will need to go home with a secure, properly fitted harness to help keep him safe as he continues learning leash skills. Bean is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom and truly come out of his shell. A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure the best fit for both Bean and his future family. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
