Story
Thinking about adding a puppy to your family? You certainly could. Or... you can bypass all the shenanigans and adopt me, Lady Bean. My credentials? Impeccable! But let's go easy with the "Maw Maw" talk. Having a frosted face may qualify me for senior discounts, but just so you know, I have plenty of pep in my step for enjoying strolls and can smoke the kids in a backyard footrace. Otherwise, I am content to claim my spot on the couch, especially beside you. Friendly from the first hello, popular with dogs, and gentle with the three busy kids in my foster home, I fit in just about anywhere. Sure, I am cute, but it's that soulful companionship that takes the cake. My suitcase is packed, so what do you say to adding a vibrant, petite, seasoned sidekick to your pack? Applications for my Flop, Drop and Roll Belly Rub Club are open. Catch you on the flip side! Est. birthdate is 5/18/2011, 30 lbs., my $200 adoption fee includes vaccines up to date, parasite prevention, spay and micochip.
