About Beatrice

Beatrice is settling back into shelter life, and she's already claimed the executive director's office as her personal domain. This seven-year-old Terrier mix has a knack for making herself right at home wherever she goes, instantly brightening the atmosphere with her cheerful personality. Affectionate and outgoing, Beatrice seems to greet life with uncontainable enthusiasm. She was adopted from Heartland in 2022 but returned in 2024, and though she's had a couple of changes in her surroundings, she remains a remarkably happy dog. Beatrice has a history of living well with both dogs and cats, and her playful spirit shines through when she enjoys walks, squeaky toys, and even crunching ice cubes. Although Beatrice loves attention, she’s been a bit skittish around young children in the past, so she would thrive best in an adult-only home. She could use a family to help her shed a few pounds, but she's ready to embrace healthier habits with plenty of love and care. With a heart full of joy and a spirit that invites affection, Beatrice is here looking for that special person to share her life with. She’s currently accepting applications to become your new best friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
