***SPECIAL ADOPTION FEE ***- also open to foster to adoptLocated in St. CatherinesHi I'm Bea (short for bea-utiful, I'm sure) and that's not the most interesting thing about me! Let's start with my love for cuddles and learning new things. Are you looking for a gentle giant to share cuddles with? I'm the gal for you! Want to learn ASL? I can teach you! Well, ok maybe not quite...but foster mom has been learning ASL so she can teach me (due to my hearing impairment) and I'm such a fast learner that I know all sorts of fun words and commands! I LOVE the company of humans, and you might say that I prefer two-legged to four-legged. Because of my hearing impairment, I can get surprised by other animals so I would thrive as the only pet for you to lavish your attention on. And why wouldn't you? ♥️You know how they say when one sense is gone, the others increase….well, I don't want to brag but I think I have the best nose around town, and just because I can't hear doesn't mean I don't love to talk! I am quite vocal, FM says I have an entire symphony of funny sounds and noises I can make (for that reason, I might not be made out for apartment/condo living). That's ok though, I love playing outside and in the yard. My current backyard is a safe place for me to chase the bugs. I will provide you with endless entertainment as you watch me prance around, before we settle down for a cuddle sesh.A couple of things my forever family should know: with my impairment, I need time to adjust to new things. I tend to not turn away from new things like dogs, cats, rabbits and squirrels as I need to keep my eyes on them. If they don't make the first move, I will begin backing away. I can also get anxious if I am left alone, but like I said I just looooove my humans so much! This is something that we'll need to work on together (along with teaching me that I don't always need to make noise to get attention) but I know you know that I'm worth it :)Let’s get to know one another, I know my perfect home is out there for me. If you like what you see, click on that adopt button! Love BeaXO
