About Beans

Meet Beans! This sweet little boy is affectionate and loving. He enjoys the company of people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a special fondness for kids. Beans came into our rescue alongside another dog, an 11-year-old Maltese who had endured severe abuse. Thankfully, they were surrendered together, ensuring Beans wouldn’t face the same fate. At just 4 months old, Beans is a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, currently weighing around 5 pounds. He’s expected to reach about 10 pounds when fully grown. He's up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. Although he's not yet housetrained, he occasionally uses a pee pad. If you’re interested in welcoming Beans into your home, please complete the adoption application on our website. Beans’ adoption fee is $550. We’re open to out-of-state adoptions, but you must be prepared to pick him up in NC. Remember, he's looking for a lifelong family member, not just a Christmas gift.
