Meet Pinto Bean! Breed: Spaniel Mix Gender: Male Age: Young Adult estimated to be 1 year old Size: Small (16 lbs) Good with: People, kids, families ready for a built-in adventure buddy Pinto Bean is just a sized-down Golden Retriever! This sweet Spaniel mix has all that Golden Retriever energy—loving, affectionate, and always ready to play—packed into a perfectly manageable small package. He's got the best of both worlds: big-dog personality in a small-dog body. Pinto Bean loves people and would absolutely thrive in a home with kids who want a built-in buddy for adventures, snuggles, and everything else. He's the kind of dog who will play fetch in the backyard, cuddle during movie time, follow the kids around the house, and be equally enthusiastic about every single activity. Morning cartoons? He's there. Afternoon bike ride? Count him in. Bedtime stories? He's already claimed his spot on the bed. At his small size, Pinto Bean is perfect for families who want a real dog with real personality but don't have the space or energy for a large breed. He's got that retriever-style devotion and playfulness but in a compact, kid-friendly package. Think of him as the ultimate family companion who won't knock over toddlers but will absolutely be their shadow and best friend. If you're looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will play hard, cuddle harder, and be the perfect addition to an active family with kids, Pinto Bean is ready to become your family's new favorite member!

Disclaimer: The information in this profile reflects observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions. ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs.
