My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bean is a 3-yr old Boxer mix whose time was up at a southern shelter. Because he was such a great boy and a shelter favorite he needed a ticket out. Bean is a super sweet and goofy boy. Not only is he housebroken but he is great with dogs, kids and cats. He is fostered in Newport ME.

Foster update:

Bean is such a happy soul, there isn’t a mean bone in his body. He is an absolute baby who loves everyone and everything. He loves on and kisses his foster parents and the other dogs in the home; this boy is all heart.

Bean is the best-behaved dog - he is learning basic commands, has a calm energy, loves to nap on his dog bed, and loves attention! Bean learns very quickly and is food motivated. Once he knows the routine and what is expected, he does not push boundaries - he is eager to please and craves affection.

Bean is smart and enjoys food puzzles and games. He LOVES toys and carries one in his mouth when he’s excited, feeling happy, or when it’s time for breakfast/dinner.

Most of all, Bean loves his people and wants to be with his pack. He is a cuddler and shares space and affection with other dogs in the home. Bean would benefit from another playful dog in his new home since he adores his canine friends, and is submissive. I can take toys, food, and bones away from him, no issues. He takes food from our hands very gently, with nice manners. Waits patiently for his meals and hasn't shown any resource guarding.

For the first few weeks, Bean was nervous about going into a crate. We crate 2 days a week, just to get him used to it if his forever family needs to use one. He did great once he was in, it was just the going in part he didn’t like. I throw a treat in every time he goes in, and now he walks in confidently on his own! Not one peep from him when he’s crated. Bean does great being left alone without issues (crated or not).

Bean will need to work on leash manners, based on his size (70 pounds) and strength. We have started to condition/expose him to a gentle leader rather than collar and leash and this should help! When I've taken him to tractor supply and parks, he does great! Enjoys meeting other people and dogs, and is easy-going about it. Also enjoys car rides!

Bean is aware of what is happening around him, and keeps an eye on the property/perimeter. He alerts to people who come to the home/driveway.

What more could you ask for?! This handsome boy is extremely friendly and ready for his new home.

If you are looking for a big, gentle, and playful boy who would love you forever, he's your guy!
