Welcome to the story of Bean. Our southern partners took one look at her and knew they had to pull her from the overcrowded shelter and send her to Connecticut because she is literally a walking heart emoji. Bean is a 9-month-old short haired tan and black German Shepherd mix breed. Bean currently weighs 35 pounds and is expected to be a medium-size dog once fully grown, weighing anywhere up to 60 pounds.Bean has typical puppy energy, curiosity and mischievousness. Bean is still very much a young puppy with a unique culinary palate: she firmly believes that dog toys are a Michelin star delicacy meant to be eaten, not just squeaked. Because of her gourmet taste in fabric and stuffing, she requires supervision to ensure she does not swallow hertoys. This happy puppy makes absolute core memories in every single doggy playgroup she attends. She also gets along with children, viewing them as excellent sources of ear scratches and dropped snacks. Bean has not had the opportunity to meet any cats, so it is unknown how she will be with them.Bean is still a student of the world, meaning her house training, leash manners, and crate training are all active works in progress that will require a bit of patience and a lot of training treats. The ideal match for Bean is an active family prepared for the beautiful, chaotic reality of raising a puppy. Bringing home a young dog is a commitment that requires consistent, positive reinforcement to help her blossom into a well-behaved adult canine.If you are ready to trade a few chewed up tennis balls for a lifetime of goofy smiles, wagging tails, and unconditional love, Bean is waiting for you! Just lock up your stuffed animals, bring some training treats, and prepare your heart to be completely stolen. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Bean is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
