🎩 Meet Beanie – the “extra-large” goofball who’s basically a dog and a comedy show rolled into one! 🐶😂
At 2 ½ years old and 85 lbs, Beanie is the kind of guy who thinks he’s lap-sized… and will absolutely try to prove it. He’s playful, silly, and always down for a good car ride (he swears he’s an excellent co-pilot, as long as you provide snacks 🍪🐾). Speaking of snacks—treats are basically his love language.
Beanie is ready to keep you laughing and smiling every single day, but he kindly requests that you don’t come with cats… he’s just not about that feline life. 😼🚫
He is heartworm positive, but don’t worry—the shelter covers the cost of treatment. All Beanie needs is a home that appreciates his oversized personality and his oversized heart. ❤️
