Meet Beanie Baby, a 2–3 year old, 24 lb Boston Terrier mix who is truly the epitome of derpy charm. This sweet, calm little guy will snort and snore his way straight into your heart and happily stay there. Beanie Baby is the kind of dog who is content to do whatever you’re doing — as long as it includes a few reassuring pats and pets throughout the day.

Beanie Baby has a wonderfully easygoing personality. He isn’t demanding or pushy, and while he enjoys being around his people, he’s not a velcro dog. Most of the time, he snoozes peacefully in his dog bed, but every so often he’ll wander through the house to check in on each family member. If someone gets up, he may follow along out of curiosity, but never in an anxious or over-the-top way. He’s just making sure everyone is where they should be.

He has excellent house manners. Beanie Baby knows how to use a dog door and appears housebroken. He did mark a few spots during his first few days in foster care, likely where other male dogs had previously marked, but that behavior resolved quickly. For several days now he has had no accidents indoors and reliably goes outside, especially first thing in the morning, to take care of business.

A typical day with Beanie Baby starts around 8 AM. He heads out into the yard to do his business, enjoys a little breakfast, and then goes for a walk. After that, he settles in for a long, happy snooze while his people go about their day. He’s perfectly content sleeping nearby while you work on the computer, often parking himself right at your feet, or quietly hanging out in the yard while you do yardwork. In the evening, he enjoys another walk, dinner, and then bedtime around 10 PM. At night, he sleeps in a dog bed next to the bed and won’t wake up until you do.

On walks, Beanie Baby is a delight. He’s good on a leash, doesn’t pull, and isn’t reactive. He’s calm, steady, and happy to stroll along at an easy pace. He’s not particularly interested in toys, but he does enjoy gnawing on a bully stick from time to time.

One of his most endearing qualities is the little snorting sounds he makes when sniffing his food or searching for the perfect spot to potty. It’s impossible not to smile at his funny noises and his adorable little tongue that often sticks out. Beanie Baby can have some acute breathing issues (as brachiocephalic dogs often do) and his foster has learned that keeping a collar off him makes a big difference. Once the collar was removed and as the discomfort from his surgery subsided, his mood and energy level noticeably improved, revealing a brighter, happier dog underneath.

Beanie Baby is a mellow, affectionate, quietly hilarious companion who brings warmth and gentle joy wherever he goes. He doesn’t ask for much — just a comfortable place to nap, a couple of walks, and some loving reassurance throughout the day. Anyone lucky enough to welcome Beanie Baby into their home will gain a truly special little character and a loyal, lovable friend.
