About Bea

Meet Bea, a 2-year-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund mix around 20 pounds. She's got a gentle temperament and craves a companion who appreciates good cuddles. Bea is driven by a simple goal: love and be loved. She’s the kind of dog who’ll savor long walks, soaking in all the smells, but who’s just as content curling up on a couch. Bea does great with other dogs, but it's still unknown how she’d do around cats. She needs a little time to settle into new spaces, but once comfortable, her quirky and lively side shows. Coming from a home with lots of dogs where she had her own litter, Bea needs a patient, understanding adopter who can help her rebuild her confidence. Bea is potty trained, leash trained, and knows how to handle her business outside. She loves rolling in the grass, sunbathing with people she trusts, playing with her toys, and napping after a good meal. She relaxes around calm, gentle people and warms up once she feels secure. In her foster home, she gets along with the other small dogs and thrives in a happy, easy-going setting. Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, Bea’s ready to find her person. If you’re after a devoted snuggle buddy who’ll always be happy to see you, this girl’s waiting to meet you. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
